Rotterdam to Build Indonesian Port

The Port of Rotterdam Authority has signed a partnership agreement with the Indonesian Port Corporation Pelindo I in Medan, North Sumatra, for the development of the new deep sea port Kuala Tanjung.

The port authority will now carry out a feasibility study for the new port together with Pelindo I. A project organization will be created for this purpose that will include a number of the port authority’s employees locally and based in Rotterdam. Depending on the outcome of this feasibility study, the authority will assess whether it will enter into a joint venture with Pelindo I for the further realization of the port.

CEO Allard Castelein signed the agreement on behalf of the Port Authority: “We want to share our knowledge in the construction, development and management of Kuala Tanjung. We are confident that the Port Authority and Pelindo I will form a strong team that will serve the country and provide for a better future.”
