KM Sirimau timetables list 21–22 September Maumere and Lewoleba calls

Labuan Bajo — KM Sirimau is scheduled to call at Maumere on Monday, 21 September 2026, and Lewoleba in the early hours of Tuesday, 22 September 2026, providing a sea connection between Flores and Lembata on its Sorong–Merauke voyage, according to published timetables.

The September schedule compiled by Nurcholis.com lists KM Sirimau departing Sorong on Thursday, 17 September at 08:00 local time, then sailing via Ambon, Wanci and Baubau before reaching the Nusa Tenggara ports later in the month. A separate timetable published by a network of regional news sites in early September also sets out the same Sorong–Merauke route pattern through Maumere, Lewoleba, Kupang and Kalabahi.

Timing and route

For passengers joining or leaving the ship in East Nusa Tenggara, the Nurcholis.com timetable lists the following calls on the Sorong–Merauke leg:

• Maumere: Monday, 21 September 2026, 12:00–14:00 WITA
• Lewoleba: Tuesday, 22 September 2026, 00:01–02:00 WITA
• Kupang: Tuesday, 22 September 2026, 14:00–19:00 WITA
• Kalabahi: Wednesday, 23 September 2026, 09:00–11:00 WITA

The timetable places Maumere before Lewoleba on this westbound sailing, followed by Kupang and Kalabahi, before KM Sirimau continues onward through Saumlaki, Tual, Dobo, Timika and Agats to Merauke, where arrival is listed for Wednesday, 30 September at 04:00 local time.

An August–September schedule published by a Flores-based outlet shows the same chain of ports on the earlier Merauke–Sorong voyage, with Maumere, Lewoleba, Kupang and Kalabahi all served in sequence, reinforcing that these calls form part of the regular route pattern.

Travel planning and fares

The September timetables indicate that KM Sirimau’s calls at Maumere and Lewoleba fall during daytime and early morning hours, which may help travellers combine a sea journey with onward overland travel in Flores and nearby islands.

Nurcholis.com lists a fare of Rp1,205,500 for the full Sorong–Merauke voyage and Rp1,195,500 for the reverse Merauke–Sorong voyage departing 3 September 2026, identifying these as Pelni ticket prices for the complete route rather than for shorter segments such as Maumere–Lewoleba.

The same timetable notes that tickets for KM Sirimau can be purchased through Pelni branch offices, Pelni’s official website, its mobile application or authorised ticket agents, and advises passengers to check the latest schedule directly with Pelni because departure times may be amended without prior notice.

Context

In its overview of KM Sirimau’s operations for August–September 2026, Nurcholis.com explains that the month’s sailings begin with a Merauke–Sorong voyage departing on Thursday, 3 September, followed by a return Sorong–Merauke voyage starting 17 September. The published timetables show repeated calls at Maumere and Lewoleba on both directions of the route, with the Flores and Lembata ports appearing multiple times between mid-August and early October.

Regional news reports summarising Pelni schedules for the same period describe KM Sirimau’s regular circuit as running Sorong–Ambon–Wanci–Baubau–Maumere–Lewoleba–Kupang–Kalabahi–Saumlaki–Tual–Dobo–Timika–Agats–Merauke and back, indicating that these eastern Nusa Tenggara calls are part of a long-distance service linking Papua, Maluku and Flores.

While the published timetables align on the dates, sequence and planned times for the Maumere and Lewoleba calls in late September 2026, both Nurcholis.com and regional outlets emphasise that schedules remain subject to change and recommend that travellers confirm the sailing with Pelni or local port authorities before departure.
