T Pelni plans to buy one cruise ship this year as part of its participation in the government's marine tourism campaign.
'We will be buying a cruise ship with the capacity to carry 300 passengers,' Pelni president director Elfien Goentoro said on the sidelines of the Marine and Fisheries Business and Investment Forum at the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry on Thursday.
Pelni plans to serve routes to five tourist destinations: Derawan, Wakatobi, Labuan Bajo, Raja Ampat and Anambas.
It has allocated US$25 million for the purchase.
'At least 20 percent will be from our own money, while the rest will come from loans,' Elfien said.
