Jakarta Governor, Pramono Anung launched two tourist ships namely Paus 2 and Paus 3, on Onrust Island, Seribu Islands, Friday (7/4) .

The launch of these two tourist ships is for the development of transportation in the Seribu Islands.

"I am here to launch Paus 2 and Paus 3 to serve Seribu Islands," Pramono said.

These two tourist ships were launched to overcome the problem of expensive transportation costs for residents of Seribu Islands to the mainland, even though they already get free Transjakarta or Transjabodetabek fares.

Pramono also emphasized that there should be no discrimination in transportation services. This is considering the complaints of residents of the Seribu Islands from various islands such as Pramuka, Tidung, and Kelapa regarding the relatively expensive transportation costs to get to the mainland.

As for information, the ships are serving Muara Angke Port - Cipir Island - Onrust Island - Kelor Island - Bidadari Island - (back to Muara Angke Port).

The operational hours are 8 AM; 10 AM; 12 PM; and 2 PM.

The ship has capacity of 80 passengers with ticket price Rp 49,000.

For the regular transportation service to Seribu Islands, Jakarta Provincial Government through Transportation Agency prepares 19 passenger boat units.
