TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - Several areas affected by floods and landslides in Aceh Province are difficult to access due to damaged road infrastructure. The National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB) is therefore sending logistical aid and equipment via the sea route.
BNPB dispatched the aid from Ulee Lhueu Port in Banda Aceh using the Express Bahari ship on Sunday, November 30, 2025. "The planned aid via the sea route will reach five areas," said Abdul Muhari, Head of the Data, Information, and Disaster Communication Center of the National Disaster Management Agency (BNPB), today.
Muhari stated that the total aid dispatched weighs 27 tons. The logistics will reach five areas: Lhokseumawe, North Aceh, East Aceh, Langsa City, and Aceh Tamiang.
The aid will stop at two ports to reach these areas: Krengkuku Port (to reach North Aceh and Lhokseumawe) and Kuala Langsa Port (to reach Langsa City, East Aceh, and Aceh Tamiang).
