P
resident Joko "Jokowi" Widodo says that the planned Tanjung Carat Port area, near the Tanjung Api-Api integrated zone in Banyuasin regency, South Sumatra, would be included in the sea highway program initiated by the central government to facilitate cargo shipments to various regions in Indonesia.
'Tanjung Carat is included in the sea highway program, but we must look at the regulation first,' Jokowi said during a blusukan (impromptu visit) to Tanjung Api-Api Port in Banyuasin on Sunday.
The statement came in response to questions from South Sumatra provincial officials, as data from the National Development and Planning Ministry failed to include the Tanjung Carat deep-sea port on the list of 24 ports to be built under the so-called sea highway program.
'I've seen the location and we will definitely discuss it in the Cabinet meeting, including the environmental and financial aspects. If everything is clear, we will immediately build it,' said Jokowi.
Tanjung Carat Port is a deep-sea port that is poised to become a special economic zone and a new economic center for South Sumatra. (nvn)
