SEMARANG – Kendal Mega Seaport may be operated in 2016 after the entire supporting infrastructure development is completed in 2015.
The official of Syahbandar and Port Authority office (KSOP) at Tanjung Emas Semarang Karolus Sengadji said the operational delay is caused by the late completion for office buildings and road infrastructure to the port.
“It should be operated in 2016. Yet, the preparation is delayed and should be completed accordingly in 2015,” he said to Bisnis, Monday (3/24).
The construction process of offices and road access is mutually performed with the district government of Kendal with the budget of IDR33 billion as obtained from the State Budget.
He said in 2013 the KSOP had returned the budget worth IDR40 billion to the central government since there is still remaining funds from the project completion.
