ransportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi has said that the development project for Patimban Seaport in Subang, West Java, will break ground in July, with the seaport targeted to start operating in 2019.
“God willing, the groundbreaking will be moved up to July,” Budi said on Sunday in Cirebon, West Java, as quoted by kompas.com.
He added that three contractors – Japanese company Penta Ocean Construction Co. and the two state-owned construction companies, PT Wijaya Karya and PT PP – would be managing the project
The project is funded through a 118.90 billion yen (US$1.07 million) loan from the Japanese government.
JICA Indonesia senior representative Tomoyuki Kawabat said on Nov. 13, 2017 that the Japanese loan covered 83 percent of the total 144 billion yen funding for the project, as land procurement and taxes were the Indonesian government's responsibility.
The port will be situated roughly 70 kilometers from the Karawang Industrial Estate in West Java, where many Japanese automotive companies have built factories.
Once the project's first phase of development is completed, Patimban Seaport will have a container capacity of 1.5 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs), which will expand to 7.5 million TEUs once the second and final phase of construction is completed. (bbn)
