Meanwhile, The Ministry of Transportation’s Directorate General of Sea Transportation is devoted to helping the government’s initiatives to promote economic and development equity, particularly for Eastern Indonesia. One of the efforts is to ensure smooth logistics distribution to Eastern Indonesia through safe and secure sea transportation services.

Director of Navigation, Hengki Angkasawan, said that Merauke Port is one of the Hub Ports in South Papua which has an important role in economic growth in Papua Province. Loading and unloading activities at the Port of Merauke are increasing. 

There are not a few cargo transport ships going back and forth, starting from the National Cruise to the People’s Shipping which docks at Merauke Harbor. In addition, the Sea Toll Ship, KM. Nusantara 2 Logistics also stops at the Port of Merauke so that the Port of Merauke becomes a Hub in South Papua.

However, Hengki revealed that the condition of Merauke Port, which is on the Maro River, close to the estuary, is quite difficult for ships to dock. This is because the currents are very strong at that location during the tides.

Hengki claims it is appropriate to determine the shipping lanes at Merauke Port right away to make it simpler for users of the shipping lanes to perform maneuvers at Merauke Port. 

Thus, there will be more and more ships that can safely and safely anchor at the Port of Merauke so that, of course, it can support the smooth growth of the economy or port activities, especially in the Province of Papua.

The arrangement and determination of port lanes is indeed the Government’s obligation as mandated by Law Number 17 of 2008. Apart from having an obligation to determine shipping lanes, the Government also must determine the route system, traffic procedures, and anchorage areas. Ship in accordance with its interests.

Hopefully, this new J&T Cargo service route will better impact the Papuan economy.
