The Port is demarcated between the area to handle general cargo and the area to designate for the Passenger and Freight Ferry service. Scheduled ferry services using multipurpose RORO Ferries offer services to destinations within the region.

  • Lembar Lombok - Padang Bai, Bali, (Lombok Strait) operating 36 ferries with 18 trips per day per each route, with regular schedule every 2 hours (approximately).
  • Lembar – Surabaya – Lembar every 2 weeks with capacity 500 passengers and 33 units of 10 tonner trucks.
  • Labuhan Lombok - Pototano, Sumbawa (Alat Strait) with 8 ferries providing 18 crossings per day.
  • Other scheduled services also connect Senggigi across the Lombok strait westward to Bali via the Gili islands.

The port currently operates 7 days a week. 24 hours operating for loading and off-loading container and break bulk. General cargo and bulk until 10pm.

Port cranes are restricted to two dockside cranes (in operation since 2015) with capacity 35 MT per unit. Vessels that are consigned to the Port should be ‘geared’ if possible. Mobile cranes can also be hired locally. Typical cargo handling method is to discharge direct from the vessels to trucks.

Description and Contacts of Key Companies

PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry (Persero) Indonesia operates the ferry ports and a number of ferry services for passengers and cargo.  These RORO ferries provide the principal facilities for road transport movements in and out of Lombok.

Disruptions on these routes can significantly affect trade and the provision of supplies to the island as the shipping operators on these routes, may be suspend or delayed due to weather conditions or operational issues.

The use of the ferry service is an important alternative to the movement of passengers and freight during the periods of the rainy season to secondary and tertiary ports located in the various islands.

Stevedoring

The General cargo area is limited.  Vessels that are consigned to the Port should if possible be ‘geared’ as there are limited port cranes, mobile cranes that may be hired.  The cargo handling method is to discharge direct from the vessels to Road Transport.

The productivity is based on two gangs, which is attributable to the quay space and the area for the road vehicles to manoeuvre and position themselves for loading.

Hiterland Information

Container traffic to the Island of Lombok and Sumbawa is limited.  A high percentage of the traffic is carried on road vehicles from East Java over Bali on the inter-island passenger and Freight Ferry service.

Containers handled over the general cargo quay, are handled by fixed crane from boat into container yard and continue by truck to costumer.

Port Security

The Port is ISPS compliant, under normal operating conditions, all entry points are secure and access is subject to permits.

The Port area is demarcated with secure fencing and access gates.  The access to the ferry/passenger vessels is through a fenced and demarcated walkway, ensuring passengers have no access to the cargo operational areas of the port. Passengers and/or vehicles without a ‘ticket’ cannot access the Ferry Port Operations area.

The ships in port have to employ and arrange their own security and ‘gangway watch’
