"All wharves at the ports are ready to accommodate the travelers and their vehicles with a maximum capacity," ASDP President Director Danang S Baskoro said here on Wednesday.
He noted that ASDP would give better service than it did in the previous years by improving the reliability of the ships and port infrastructure, better services and coordination with various parties at the ports.
Danang noted that ASDP this year would operate new ships and ferries to carry the holiday travelers to their expected destinations.
"We have prepared 28 new ships to carry the passengers during this year`s Lebaran holiday season," he said.
Besides, he added that ASDP would also provide other supporting infrastructure such as security command posts, information centers, health service rooms, and breast-feeding rooms.
Meanwhile, commercial manager of ASDP Indonesia Ferry commercial manager Nana Sutisna said in Merak, Banten, last Thursday that by providing the breast-feeding rooms, mothers would feel comfortable while breastfeeding their babies.
According to him, the breast-feeding rooms measuring 3x4 square meters each are located near ticket counters.
The breast-feeding rooms are equipped with seats, beds and toilets, he said, adding that ASDP also provides powdered milk for free.
"It will be the second year ASDP prepare breast-feeding rooms in ferries," he said.
