Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) II, Indonesia’s state-owned port company, will commence construction of a 3.5 trillion rupiah ($248.1 million) canal and terminal in Jakarta, in November, Bisnis Indonesia newspaper reported, quoting CEO Richard Joost Lino. The project, which includes a 24.6-km canal linking the terminal to Tanjung Priok, intends to reduce congestion at Indonesia’s main international seaport and is targeted for completion by 2017.
