Around Batam center do have a lot of tourist spot,from temples to sports to resort is all around that area,and till today,the ferry prices from Sillypore to Batam Center are still cheaper as compare to from Sillypore to Harbour Bay. I have always wonder thruout 2014 that how come it is so. Travelling time and distance from Sillypore to Harbour Bay is shorter,lesser time used,and the ferry uses lesser petrol but yet the price to reach Harbour Bay is ALL THE TIME higher as compare to heading to Batam center.I mean it doesnt make any economic sense right?

The old Batu Ampar Harbour was shut down after many years. That's before HArbour Bay.
In the past, there is peniun and Widdi Express. Widdi Express closed down and Peniun changed to Sindo.
The cost is more becos of the DISTANCE n FASTER. They earning big bucks for that. People just pay more for convenience. By the way, this harbour bay owns Prima Ferries, no competition.
