Vessel Description

KM Tidar is an Indonesian inter-island passenger and cargo ferry operated by PT PELNI, the state-owned national shipping company of Indonesia. Built in 1988 by Meyer Werft in Germany, the vessel has served as a critical component of Indonesia's national maritime transportation network for decades.

The vessel is designed to serve the social function of connecting remote and outer islands of the Indonesian archipelago, providing affordable passenger transport and essential cargo services to communities with limited access to alternative transportation. As a typical PELNI-class vessel, KM Tidar accommodates multiple passenger classes ranging from economy to first class, along with dedicated cargo holds.

KM Tidar operates on scheduled inter-island routes as part of PELNI's national network, calling at ports across Java, Sulawesi, Maluku, and other island groups, playing an important role in national connectivity and logistics for eastern Indonesia.
