KUALA TANJUNG INTERNATIONAL HUB PORT

 


  • Investment Value: IDR 30 Trillion
  • Funding Scheme: BUMN Assignment
  • Location: Kuala Tanjung, North Sumatra
  • Project Responsible: Ministry of Transportation
  • Planned Construction Commencement: 2015
  • Planned Operation Commencement: 2018
  • Project Status: Partially Operating

Project Description

Development of the port in Kuala Tanjung into an international hub port as an entry point to the western region of Indonesia. Based on the results of a study conducted by the Ministry of Transportation in 2015, the development of the port will increase the volume of container traffic to 12.4 million TEUs by 2039.

This increase in container traffic volume comes from demand from the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (KEK) to Jambi Province and it is assumed that the port will receive additional demand from four competitor ports, namely the Port of Singapore, Port of Tanjung Pelepas, Port Klang and Penang Port.

Project Significance

With an international hub, it is hoped that Indonesia can enjoy the port demand that has been enjoyed by Singapore and Malaysia. Based on the 2012 Kuala Tanjung Port Plan, the construction of this port will accommodate cargo to support the development of the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (KEK) and Belawan Port.

Project Development Status: PARTIALLY OPERATING

 

KUALA TANJUNG PORT PREPARED TO BECOME INDONESIA'S TRANSSHIPMENT PORT

JAKARTA (27/9). The government continues to encourage the development of infrastructure that can boost the Indonesian economy, including port infrastructure. One of them is Kuala Tanjung Port located in North Sumatra Province.

Director General (Dirjen) of Sea Transportation, Arif Toha explained that the port located in Batu Bara Regency is prepared to become a transshipment port, which can be visited by large ships from a number of countries.

A transshipment port is an export hub port, where cargo from small ships all over the world is transferred to large ships docked at the port to be sent abroad and vice versa.

"Kuala Tanjung Port uses the concept of a self-generating port, namely that port cargo is obtained from the port area itself. Cargo will be generated by industries located in the industrial area integrated with Kuala Tanjung Port," said Director General Arif.

Kuala Tanjung Port is managed by KSOP Class III Kuala Tanjung as the organizer and PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) as the operator.

Kuala Tanjung Port has several advantages, including being located in a strategic location in the Strait of Malacca, which is one of the main trade routes in the world. Kuala Tanjung will be connected by the Trans Sumatra toll road which is currently under construction. And there is a railway line so that it will facilitate connectivity from and to the port.

"Kuala Tanjung Port is projected to take part of the transshipment market in the Strait of Malacca, with a market share of 5%," said Director General Arif.

"There will be a collaboration with Belawan Port which will become a Container Consolidator in the Hinterland of Northern Sumatra (Medan, Aceh, North Tapanuli), while Kuala Tanjung will become a Logistic and Supply Chain Hub in Indonesia," said Director General Arif.

The development of Kuala Tanjung is carried out in stages, starting with the construction of a Multi Purpose Terminal that functions as the North Sumatra Gateway, followed by the development of an industrial area that will generate cargo for the Multi Purpose Terminal, so that an optimal cargo volume is created as the basis for developing the Hub Port.

The first stage of the Kuala Tanjung Port Development, namely the Kuala Tanjung Multipurpose Terminal, has been operational. The port managed by Pelindo is equipped with a 500x60 m pier, a 2.8 km long trestle for four 18.5 m wide truck lanes.

Kuala Tanjung Port is currently equipped with complete and modern port facilities supported by an integrated IT system so that it can improve services to service users and increase the speed of the loading and unloading process.

Supporting the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone

Currently, there is the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone and other industrial areas operating in North Sumatra Province and surrounding provinces adjacent to Kuala Tanjung Port. It is hoped that the industrial area will use Kuala Tanjung Port as a distribution center for goods in supporting the role of Kuala Tanjung Port as an international hub.

"One of the requirements for economic progress in a region is smooth logistics, and the existence of Kuala Tanjung Port can support smooth logistics distribution in the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone," said Director General Arif.

The existence of Kuala Tanjung Port can increase productivity in the North Sumatra region which has many potential Natural Resources (SDA), including palm oil, CPO derivative products, rubber, paper, and others.

"In addition, several industrial companies such as Inalum are planned to open branches in the area, so that with this large port it can support the mobility of goods from and to the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone," he explained.

Several large companies operating around Kuala Tanjung Port are PT Indonesia Asahan Alumunium, PT Multimas Nabati Asahan (Wilmar), PT Domas Argointi Prima, PT Industri Nabati Lestari, PT Unilever Oleochemical Indonesia, PT Sumatra Tobacco Trading Company, PT Toba Pulp Lestari and other companies that have the potential to enter the area.

"So the existence of Kuala Tanjung Port is expected to be an attraction and encourage the realization of industrial progress," concluded Director General Arif.

Deaerator working principle, Types and Process Control

Image
Deaerator working principle, Types and Process Control Source Deaerators is commonly employed in any chemical process industry or in Power Plants wherever boiler is utilized for steam production from boiler feed water. Deaerator solves the aim of removal of unwanted dissolved gases and dissolved oxygen from the boiler feed water before going in boilers. Most of the deaerators are designed in such how that the dissolved oxygen content within the outlet water is regarding7 ppb by WTC. Principle of Dearators Dearator commonly works based on the subsequent principles. Henry’s Law According to Henry’s low is in a liquid the gas solubility is directly proportional to the partial pressure. thus if we tend to decrease the partial pressure of the dissolved gas by adding steam in Deaerator, its solubility decreases and also the gas is faraway from water. Inverse Solubility of Water When the temperature of water is growing, the dissolved oxygen content within the water is decrease...

What is a Boiler? & its types

Image
  Boiler overview What is a Boiler? & its types Source What is Boiler:- A boiler is outlined as “A closed vessel during which water or different liquid is heated, steam or vapor is generated, steam is super heated, or any combination therefrom, besieged or vacuum, to be used external to itself, by the direct application of energy from the combustion of fuels, from electricity or energy ”. A Brief Introduction : Boiler may be a main operating element of thermal power plants. Water is helpful and low-cost medium for transferring heat to a method. once water is warm into steam its volume will increase regarding 1,600 times, manufacturing a force that’s virtually as explosive as bomb. This causes the boiler to be extra ordinarily dangerous instruments and equipment will be treated carefully Liquid once heated to the vaporous state this method is named evaporation. The heating surface is any a part of the boiler; hot gases of combustion square measure on one facet ...
