Celebrating Its 73rd Anniversary, PELNI Offers 50% Seawifi Discount for Ship Passengers
Jakarta, April 27, 2025 – PT Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia or PT PELNI (Persero) is celebrating its 73rd anniversary, which falls on April 28, 2025, by launching a special promotion: a 50% discount on the 4-hour internet package via its Seawifi service. This promotion reflects PELNI's commitment to enhancing passenger experience by enabling them to stay connected with loved ones during their voyage.
PELNI Corporate Secretary Evan Eryanto stated that this promotion is a token of appreciation to passengers who have remained loyal to PELNI’s services. “PELNI’s 73rd anniversary is a time to celebrate with the people of Indonesia. This is our way of expressing gratitude for the public’s support over the past 73 years, while also strengthening PELNI’s role as a leader in the national maritime industry that supports digital transformation,” said Evan.
The Seawifi promotion is valid from April 27 to 29, 2025, for the 4-hour internet package on eight (8) PELNI passenger ships: KM Kelud, KM Labobar, KM Bukit Siguntang, KM Dorolonda, KM Dobonsolo, KM Nggapulu, KM Ciremai, and KM Gunung Dempo. PELNI encourages passengers to take advantage of this promotion quickly, as the offer is limited to only 125 buyers per day per ship.
“The availability of Seawifi on all PELNI passenger ships supports passengers’ communication needs, especially for those who wish to stay connected on social media,” added Evan.
By providing affordable internet access on board, PELNI not only enhances travel comfort but also contributes to the government’s mission of expanding digital connectivity to frontier, outermost, and disadvantaged (3TP) regions.
“Seawifi has become one of PELNI’s flagship facilities, allowing passengers to remain productive during inter-island voyages. We hope that at 73 years old, PELNI continues to be an innovative pioneer in maritime transport, delivering excellent services and remaining the top choice for Indonesian travelers,” Evan concluded.
