TEMPO.CO, Jakarta - President Director of state-owned seaport operator PT Pelindo II Elvyn G. Masassya said PT. Pelindo is planning to take over the management of the five ports that were previously managed by the Transportation Ministry.
"We will propose the plan to the Ministry of Transportation in the near future," Masasya said in Jakarta on Saturday.
The four seaports are Sentete port, Tanjung Batu port, Linau port, and Batam port.
Ministry of Transportation itself is planning leave the management of a number of seaports to PT. Pelindo.
The ministry said that management would be transferred to an institution so that management will not overlap.
So far, the ministry is still reviewing which ports whose management can later be transferred.
