LENGKONG, AYOBANDUNG.COM -- This port in West Java is able to strengthen the logistics of 3 islands in Indonesia.
This port in West Java has an investment value of up to IDR 43.2 trillion.
The name of the port in West Java is Patimban Port.
This port in West Java is now managed by PT Pelabuhan Patimban Internasional.
The construction of this port is one of the strategic projects in the era of President Jokowi.
Patimban Port was inaugurated on December 20, 2020.
Patimban Port is located in Subang Regency, West Java. This port is able to strengthen the distribution of logistics on 3 islands in Indonesia, namely Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan.
This port serves domestic shipments for automotive to Batam and Belawan, and Long Distance Ferry (LDF) with the Patimban - Panjang, Patimban - Pontianak routes, and vice versa. The shipments are served by 5 ship operators.
Patimban Port is also a strategic port because it is supported by adequate supporting infrastructure, such as Kertajati Airport, Majalengka, and access to the Cipali (Cikopo-Paliman) and Cisumdawu (Cileunyi-Sumedang-Dawuan) toll roads.
Patimban Port will be an outlet for a number of industries along the Cipali, Subang, Majalengka, Sumedang, and Cirebon toll roads.
In addition, this port will also integrate existing economic areas such as East Bekasi, Karawang, and Purwakarta.
In addition, with this port, the Ministry of Transportation estimates that logistics costs will be cheaper and much more competitive for industries in eastern Indonesia for export-import through Patimban Port.
Meanwhile, industrial activities from western Indonesia are collected at Tanjung Priok Port.
The Patimban area together with Cirebon and Kertajati (Majalengka Regency) is projected to become the 'Rebana Metropolitan'.
In this Rebana Triangle industrial area, it is planned that there will be 10 to 12 new growth centers, including Patimban City which is of interest to investors from Japan.
Therefore, the regional government hopes that the central government will continue to support connectivity infrastructure and spatial planning from Patimban Port to the surrounding areas.
Having extraordinary benefits, Patimban Port has a fairly large investment value of up to IDR 43.2 trillion.
