  "account": "The East Java provincial administration is allocating Rp 6 billion (US$335,645) to enhance the Bulusan pier in preparation for connecting it with the Ketapang ferry terminal in Banyuwangi regency. Vice Governor Emil Dardak highlighted the significance of landing craft machine (LCM) piers for large commercial vehicles, likening them to economic lifelines, while smaller vehicles are directed to the movable bridge (MB) piers. The plan to connect the two piers is currently held up by buildings between them, necessitating a district arrangement by Banyuwangi regency administration. Dardak mentioned that the project's progress will be expedited due to the completion of the pier capacity increase project at MB pier in Gilimanuk, which will result in five MBs after the Christmas and New Year holiday season.",
