Peak Travel Periods Forecast

PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) has made several key predictions for the Nataru 2025-2026 travel period. The company forecasts that the peak travel will occur on December 23-24, 2025, while the peak return journey is expected on January 2-3, 2026 ¹

. These predictions are based on historical data and current booking trends.

Traffic Projections

ASDP projects significant growth in travel during Nataru 2025-2026. The company expects a 5.4% increase in total trips and a 4.3% rise in passenger numbers compared to the previous year ⁵

. These projections indicate a positive trend in travel demand during the holiday season.

Discount Initiative

To encourage travel and manage traffic distribution, ASDP is implementing a 19% discount on ferry fares for the Nataru period. This discount will be applicable from December 22, 2025 to January 10, 2026 ³

. The initiative aims to make travel more affordable and attract more passengers during the off-peak periods.

Ticketing and Travel Arrangements

ASDP has introduced several measures to streamline the travel process during Nataru. The company has opened ticket bookings 60 days in advance to help passengers plan their journeys better ⁴

. Additionally, ASDP has emphasized that all ticket purchases must be made online through their official website, www.ferizy.com, to reduce congestion at ports.

Challenges and Preparations

Despite the initiatives, ASDP faces challenges in terms of low uptake of the discount offer, with current absorption rates remaining below 1% of the target ³

. To address this, the company plans to intensify its marketing efforts to promote the discount and encourage early ticket purchases.

Broader Travel Context

The Nataru period is expected to see a significant surge in travel across Indonesia. The Ministry of Transportation has projected that approximately 119.5 million people will travel during this period ⁶

. This large-scale movement poses both opportunities and challenges for transportation services like ASDP.
