Jakarta to Proceed With Marunda International Port Project

By webadmin on 9:50 pm December 5, 201 2. Category Archive

Ronna Nirmala The government of Jakarta, through one of its companies, will proceed with the planned construction of the Marunda international port in 2014, a state company executive said on Wednesday. Sattar Taba, the president director of Nusantara Bonded Zone (PT KBN), said the project had already received approval from the Jakarta Legislative Council early in 2011. We will continue the development of the Marunda port as an international port. We are at present still awaiting the go-ahead from the governor, and the construction would be from 2014-17, Sattar said. Also to be developed in the same 436.8-hectare special economic zone as the Marunda port, an industrial center, a container storage area and other industrial facilities are slated. Sattar estimated that the investment needed for 2013 to begin developing the zone would stand at around Rp 1.2 trillion ($125 million). The project will be a venture between the central government, the Jakarta government and PT KBN. Sattar said that in a meeting with Governor Joko Widodo at City Hall, the capitals leader welcomed the plan to resume the project. The governor welcomed this plan and we will discuss this further with the governor, he said. Meanwhile, Maringan Pangaribuan, a member of the Jakarta Legislative Council, urged Joko to push the central government to resume its commitment to the project. At present, the delay in the construction of this zone is because of the presence of some interests in the central government. The governor must push the central government to resume this so that it is not taken over by the West Java government, he said. Maringan said that so far, financing for the special economic zone had been disbursed from the Jakarta 2011 budget, but the contributions of the central government and PT KBN were still awaited. Maringan also said the matter of naming the special economic zone was still up for deliberation, with the Ali Sadikin Logistic Center, named after the former Jakarta governor, the most likely candidate. The discourse of the naming has been discussed at the provincial level, especially with the North Jakarta administration in June 2011. The core of the problem concerning the name is that the draft is still at the Jakarta level, not yet approved by the city legislative council, he said.
