TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - The Trade Ministry, in cooperation with the state-owned water transportation company ASDP Indonesia Ferry, plans to accelerate goods distribution during the upcoming Ramadan season.
Deputy Minister of Trade Bayu Krisnamurthi said that the cooperation will be established in form of coordination with business owners. He explained that ASDP will inform business owners to accelerate goods distribution when transportation boats are lightly loaded. "Usually in the morning," the Deputy Minister said.
In addition, the government will coordinate with port management to divide ports into two types: ports for goods and ports for passengers.
The ministry also classify several commodities as high priority commodities, including fuel, gas, as well as staple food products and postal delivery goods. "The goods will be specified soon after we have control upon the transportation units," Bayu stated.
