“Patimban Port is expected to boost Indonesia’s automotive exports as Tanjung Priok’s capacity is already full,” Investment Coordinating Board (BKPM) chairman Thomas Lembong was quoted as saying by local media.
The port, which will have a capacity of 1.5m teu when it begins operations by 2019, also has vehicle terminal planned with capacity for 485,000 completely built-up (CBU) units, data from the Transportation Ministry showed.
Alongside Thailand, Indonesia is a major automotive manufacturer in Southeast Asia, exporting almost 200,000 cars last year.
