Pelni Says Net Profit in 1st Half of 2023 Reaches 60% of Full-Year Target
Jakarta. State-owned shipping company Pelayaran Nasional Indonesia, or Pelni, has announced a robust financial performance, posting a net profit of Rp 113.32 billion in the first half of the year.
This marks a 12 percent increase compared to the same period last year, representing 60 percent of the company’s full-year net profit target.
"We anticipate that our net profit for 2023 will surpass our initial target of Rp 190 billion by approximately 20 percent," Pelni's President Director Tri Andayani said in Jakarta on Wednesday.
During the first semester, the company also reported a revenue of Rp 2.65 trillion, which accounts for 48 percent of the full-year target.
In the same period, Pelni achieved the transport of 2.6 million passengers, indicating a substantial surge of 137 percent compared to figures from the first half of 2022. This notable increase can be attributed to the easing of pandemic-related travel restrictions.
Furthermore, a reduction in regional flights led air passengers to opt for sea transport for inter-island travel.
"Traditionally, we have observed that passenger numbers decrease in the month following Eid, but this time we are seeing a continuous increase. This is also contributing to the rise in passengers during the first semester of 2023," Tri added.
