Indonesia’s accelerated port development program is fundamentally transforming the country’s logistics capabilities and international competitiveness. Major expansion and modernization projects at eight strategic ports have significantly increased capacity while reducing handling costs and vessel turnaround times.
Most impactful is the completion of Patimban Deep Sea Port’s second phase, adding 3.5 million TEU annual capacity and establishing direct shipping connections to 15 international destinations. Additional developments include expanded container handling facilities at Kuala Tanjung, automated terminal operations at Makassar New Port, and dedicated agricultural export terminals at Bitung.
These improvements have reduced logistics costs by an average of 12% for export shipments and substantially improved schedule reliability for containerized cargo.
“Indonesia’s port modernization represents a fundamental enhancement of national competitiveness,” notes Surya Dharma, Logistics Infrastructure Director at ProSpace Indonesia. “Businesses with strategic approaches to utilizing these improved facilities are achieving significant advantages in both domestic and international market access.”
