YOGYAKARTA - Cyril Harinowo Economists estimate toll projects Pendulum Nusantara ocean can reduce logistics costs of goods from the Port of Tanjung Priok, Jakarta to Sorong, Papua, up to five hundred percent.
"For one of the two containers that route, if the pendulum is realized, the costs are only $ 400 from the current $ 2,000," said Cyril Harinowo in Yogyakarta, Friday (8/11).
According to Commissioner of PT Bank Central Asia (BCA), the concept is already pervading Pendulum archipelago sea toll idea presented President Joko Widodo while campaigning.
The idea Pendulum and sea Toll Jokowi alike rely on large ships that will distribute the goods from the Port in Aceh to Papua.
The development of this connectivity, in addition to making less expensive logistics costs, is also expected to encourage economic equality Indonesia.
Cyril said Pendulum Nusantara development actually started, with construction carried out in Belawan, North Sumatra, Tanjung Priok, North Jakarta, Makassar, South Sulawesi, and Sorong, Papua.
"The concept that should not be forgotten also is the construction of the large Kapala and continued with minor shipping lines," he said.
According to Cyril, infrastructure development is needed now Jokowi current administration is developing the capacity of small ports to be even greater.
This small port would be a target distribution of goods to major ports that large ships crossed as the main mode of sea toll. Distribution of goods to the small port would use small boats.
However, there is also a suggestion that the government not only to build the port, without providing other transportation lines, such as roads, railways and other public transport.
"So, I'll not only by small boats, but also transported by rail, inland modes, and the other," he said.
Therefore, according to Cyril Pendulum Nusantara or sea motorway concept will have to be supported Jokowi multimodal transportation.
"It can be combined with the development of railroads. Construction of a double track railway south began to be accelerated. In 2017, Jakarta to Surabaya double track are connected. Then after that, there will be a new industrial zones d Central Java and Yogyakarta," he said.
