Port Authority Threatens Pelindo II

Pelindo II is eager to take on the job after a series of
researches on 65 pioneer ports reveals faulty planning.

Ministry official says the government does not have enough money
to develop the ports commercially.

Port operator PT Pelindo I is set to develop the Kuala
Tanjung Seaport in North Sumatra in four planned stages.

Pelindo II director Richard Joost Lino says the loan will be
used to develop the New Priok Terminal.

Pelindo needs more time before it can implement the government's law on the use
of rupiah in port transactions.

Pelindo III says that it plans to commence the operation of the
much-awaited Teluk Lamong Multipurpose Terminal in East Java in
August.

Once the port is open for exports, companies will be able to save Rp500,000 per

container on transportation costs, official says.

The number of Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Pelindo) workers who
resigned is on the rise.

Pelindo III turns to foreign loans to fund the construction of Teluk Lamong
Terminal.

The workers feel threatened by PT Pelindo II, a port operator
company suspected of monopolizing all port activities.
