"As a national shipping company, we bear a significant responsibility to ensure that sea transportation services are affordable, safe, and high-quality, accessible to all Indonesians, particularly in remote and outermost areas," she said.
"We are ready to carry out this mission responsibly. PELNI's services not only ensure passenger and cargo connectivity but also play an essential role in supporting economic development across the archipelago," she added.
