Passengers of sea transportation departing through the port from April 7-18 amounted to 13,326 people, which is a 137.62 percent spike compared to the same period in 2022. Sea travelers arriving at Tanjung Priok during the same period reached a total of 9,534 people. The latter statistic is a 44.63 percent growth compared to the previous year.

This sudden growth of travelers, according to Subagyo, is driven by the Eid homecoming annual tradition during the peak Ramadan month when people travel from urban to rural areas.
