Thank you, PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) and Mbak Anintya Novitasari, for featuring my essay in the Pelindo Corner 8th Edition. My essay, titled "The Integration of Port-Industrial Estate as a Solution to High Logistics Costs and Economic Growth," is an adaptation of my LPDP essay with additional updates. In it, I analyze the relationship between infrastructure and Indonesia's logistics performance, challenge misconceptions about logistics-infrastructure development strategies, and highlight the need for a new approach to stimulate economic growth. The essay also uses the success story of the Port of Kijing in West Kalimantan as a case study. The essay emphasizes the importance of integrating ports with industrial hinterlands to ensure smooth cargo flow, reduce transportation costs, and stimulate investment—an approach inspired by the "Maritime Trilogy" concept developed by IPC/Pelindo 2. I also address key challenges, such as the complexity of planning and the high CAPEX demands of such ambitious projects.

TDM – bigger does not mean better TDM has 2 business segments – Plantation and Healthcare. In 2007, TDM expanded its plantation business to Kalimantan Barat, Indonesia and touted “…that the growth of the plantation operations will be in Kalimantan.” By 2016, the Group’s Indonesian assets amounted to RM 532 million. But then things began to go wrong with the company having to incurr impairments from 2016. It got so bad that the Group decided to sell of the Indonesia assets in 2019. By this time, after all the write downs, its Indonesia assets was reported to be RM 106 million. Without the Indonesian operations, the Plantation segment is a profitable one. The Healthcare segment, although a small player in the Malaysian healtcare sector, has always been profitable. Let us hope that maybe the company will start making money by just running its operation better rather than try to be bigger

𝐔𝐧𝐥𝐨𝐜𝐤𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐒𝐲𝐧𝐞𝐫𝐠𝐲: 𝐈𝐧𝐭𝐞𝐠𝐫𝐚𝐭𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐏𝐨𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐈𝐧𝐝𝐮𝐬𝐭𝐫𝐢𝐚𝐥 𝐄𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐭𝐞𝐬 𝐟𝐨𝐫 𝐄𝐜𝐨𝐧𝐨𝐦𝐢𝐜 𝐆𝐫𝐨𝐰𝐭𝐡 PT Pelabuhan Indonesia forging ahead with an ambitious vision: the seamless integration of industrial estates with ports. As stated by President Director, Arif Suhartono, this concept is pivotal in enhancing the mobility of goods to and from ports, thereby accelerating delivery timelines. Actively advocating for collaboration, recognizing that alignment between industrial requirements and port capabilities is essential for sustainable growth. The goal is clear: to transform from service providers dependent on port traffic to dynamic traffic creators, propelling company's performance to new heights. The synergy between ports and industrial activities has always been evident, and it's a relationship committed to nurturing. As Arif highlighted, ports are indispensable for industrial operations, while industrial activities stimulate traffic in port areas. The masterplan recognizes this symbiotic relationship, emphasizing the need for integration to achieve optimal alignment. This approach mirrors global trends, with countries worldwide prioritizing the construction of ports adjacent to industrial estates, a strategy actively implementing across Indonesia. Muhammad Adji, CEO of PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP), echoes this sentiment, emphasizing the importance of connectivity in facilitating trade. Enhancing connectivity between ports and industrial ecosystems is paramount for SPTP to fulfill its role as a trade facilitator and generator. Through initiatives like integrating ports with industrial estates, ensuring efficient access to and from ports, unlocking new opportunities for businesses and accelerating economic growth. Proud to showcase tangible examples of commitment to integration, such as the Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate in Gresik, East Java. Moving forward, replicating this success with upcoming developments like the Kijing project, as well as the construction of Makassar New Port in Sorong and Bitung. These endeavors not only benefit SPTP but also catalyze positive impacts on surrounding industrial estates, fostering a thriving ecosystem of trade and commerce. Furthermore, relentless pursuit of excellence extends to improving documentation systems to enhance traceability. Seamless flow of both goods and documents is essential for efficient operations, and dedicated to ensuring both aspects meet the highest standards. With increased stevedoring capacity and enhanced efficiency, streamlining operations and reducing port stay time, ultimately bolstering Indonesia's position as a key player in the global trade landscape. #PortsIntegration #IndustrialEstates #TradeFacilitation #EconomicGrowth #PelabuhanIndonesia

Possibly the last piece of prime residential development land in Sri Bintang, Kepong.

It’s surprising how the Gateway-Access-Hinterland interdependency concept isn’t as widely recognized in Indonesia as one might think. Dany Aryanzah, someone I often exchange ideas with, explained it clearly in his paper—how connecting ports, access routes, and industries can significantly enhance investment and economic activity. What stands out is his focus on the crucial role of financing and management models—because planning the infrastructure is one thing, but ensuring it delivers tangible, long-term value is another challenge entirely. It makes me wonder—how often do we overlook the importance of aligning these key infrastructures when discussing Indonesia's regional developments?

The Trans-Sumatra Toll Road currently spans 884.5 km, connecting diverse regions from Lampung to Aceh through 24 different segments, totaling 2,704 km. This development is expected to significantly enhance connectivity and stimulate economic growth across Sumatra Island, with projected outputs reaching up to 756 trillion Rupiah, based on a study by PT Sarana Multi Infrastruktur (Persero). As of the end of 2023, traffic on the Trans-Sumatra Toll Road had increased 19% compared to the previous year, with daily crossings now exceeding 59,000 vehicles, highlighting its crucial role in the region's economic development. INA's investments in the Medan-Binjai and Bakauheni-Terbanggi Besar sections, in collaboration with PT Hutama Karya (Persero), aim to facilitate both domestic and international investors' engagement in Indonesia's expansive infrastructure projects. We are committed to supporting projects that not only deliver financial returns but also contribute significantly to the nation's progress and connectivity. #TransSumatraTollRoad #InfrastructureInvestment #INA #Indonesia
