PT ASDP Indonesia Ferry has implemented intermittent operations on the Ketapang-Gilimanuk ferry route, citing rough weather conditions and high waves.
The state-owned operator, which manages critical inter-island transport links in Indonesia, adjusted schedules to ensure safety as sea states deteriorated in the Bali Strait.
The disruption highlights the vulnerability of regional shipping lanes to adverse weather, a factor that compounds existing geopolitical pressures on global trade routes.
While the Bali Strait incident is weather-driven, it occurs against a backdrop of heightened risk elsewhere, including India’s directive to halt the deployment of seafarers on vessels transiting the Strait of Hormuz.
Market participants are monitoring these developments for broader implications on supply chain reliability.
The Hormuz restrictions, combined with weather-related disruptions in Southeast Asia, underscore the fragility of maritime logistics.
