Pelindo and Jakpro Synergy to Encourage Sunda Kelapa Transport Mode Integration
Jakarta, 31 January 2025 PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) or Pelindo together with PT Jakarta Propertindo (Perseroda) or Jakpro conducted field visits to several locations including Sunda Kelapa Port and the Jakarta Light Rail Transit (LRT) project. This activity is a follow-up to the signing of the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on 24 July 2024.
The visit aims to identify opportunities for joint infrastructure development, such as intermodal transport integration, construction of supporting facilities, and development of passenger transit areas in the Sunda Kelapa Port area. As a follow-up step, Pelindo and Jakpro are committed to preparing a strategic cooperation study.
For Pelindo, this synergy is also a follow-up to the Minister of Transportation Decree No.35 of 2024 concerning the Sunda Kelapa Port Master Plan (RIP), where the port will be developed with the concept of tourism.
‘The currently available modes of transport in the form of public transport and online taxis require additions. For this reason, Pelindo and Jakpro are exploring opportunities for joint infrastructure development to support the movement of tourists to and from Sunda Kelapa Port with LRT transportation modes,’ said Pelindo's Group Head of Corporate Secretariat, Ardhy Wahyu Basuki.
Sunda Kelapa Harbour has a long history dating back to the 12th century and was once the centre of trade between nations. Now its existence has become an attraction for foreign and domestic tourists. Every year around 40-50 thousand tourists come to visit to see the loading and unloading activities of sailing ships moored there.
General Manager of Pelindo Regional 2 Sunda Kelapa, Agus Edi Santoso added that Sunda Kelapa Port has great potential to be developed as a maritime tourism destination integrated with the urban transport system.
‘The synergy between Pelindo and Jakpro will have a positive impact, not only improving connectivity, but also supporting the tourism development of this port area,’ Mr Santoso added.
Activities at Sunda Kelapa Port will focus on tourism activities, cruise ships, yachts, and passenger ships.
