JAKARTA - The government and SOEs attended the Indonesia-Netherlands Bilateral Maritime Forum (4th BMF), in the Netherlands. The event which took place on 1–3 June 2022 was also attended by PT Krakatau Bandar Samudera (KBS).

On that occasion, the subsidiary of PT Krakatau Steel (Persero) Tbk represented Indonesia at a meeting between CEOs of companies in the maritime sector. Some of the collaborations discussed in the 4th BMF are Port Development, Renewable Energy, Shipbuilding, and Maritime Education.

KBS President Director Akbar Djohan said, in one of the 4th BMF sessions, KBS explained the potential of Krakatau International Port (KBS's port) or KIP as the largest bulk port in Indonesia which is integrated from upstream to downstream with complete facilities, both port facilities and multimodal transportation.

"The various potentials of KIP are international ports that are integrated with a complete logistics service ecosystem, and are also integrated with industrial areas as well as a very strategic location in the Sunda Strait Golden Zone with Sea Communication Line 1 (ALKI-1) which has become a corridor for the European Transportation Network– Asia-Africa," Akbar said in his statement quoted on Monday, June 20.

Akbar added that KIP has 2 terminals (Cigading Terminal 1 - Cigading Terminal 2), with a total of 17 docks, integrated warehousing facilities, a Coal terminal, or Cigading International Bulk Terminal (CIBT), and a Bonded Logistics Center.

Digitization has also been carried out by KBS with the KIPoS platform to make it easier for customers to access online bookings, monitoring loading/unloading cargo in real time, getting security guarantees using the Gate Access system so that only registered cargo can enter and leave the port area.

"KBS is also committed to becoming an environmentally friendly port (EcoPortS), and consistently strives for environmental conservation, energy management, community empowerment, and implementation of environmental management," said Akbar.

BMF is a form of implementation of the MoU on Maritime Cooperation between Indonesia and the Netherlands and a high-level meeting with Maritime Companies and Dutch Financing Companies Led by the President of the Dutch Confederation of Industries and Entrepreneurs VNO-NCW Ms. Ingrid Thijssen and Coordinating Minister for Maritime Affairs Luhut Binsar Pandjaitan.
