Bakauheni, Major passenger and vehicle port in Lampung, Indonesia.

Bakauheni is a ferry port at the southern end of the Trans-Sumatra Highway in South Lampung Regency, on the Sunda Strait. It has multiple terminal buildings, hydraulic docks and pontoon structures for ferries and vehicles, and links Sumatra with Java.

Bakauheni lies at the southern end of the Trans-Sumatra Highway, where the road meets the Sunda Strait crossing to Merak in Banten, Java. The crossing is worked by 24 ferries from several operators, carrying intercity buses, freight trucks, cars and motorcycles. Executive vessels take about two hours, regular ferries about three, and small boats about one hour in daylight when the swell is low.

Bakauheni is the southern end of the Trans-Sumatra Highway, and the crossing to Merak in Banten takes about two hours by executive ferry and about three by regular ferry. Smaller boats make the crossing in roughly an hour, but run only from morning to afternoon when the waves are low.

The terminal operates around the clock with regular sailings throughout the day. It helps to arrive early and follow the signage to the check-in areas, especially if traveling with a vehicle.

The port is operated by different private ferry companies that compete with each other, ensuring continuous service availability throughout the day. This multi-operator system at a single location is uncommon and allows travelers to book passages on short notice.
