KONTAN.CO.ID - JAKARTA. Indonesia aims to complete the first phase of construction of a $3 billion deep sea port on the northern coast of Java island by November, a senior minister said on Tuesday, after President Joko Widodo ordered an acceleration of the project. The 43.2 trillion rupiah ($2.92 billion) Patimban port in the town of Subang in West Java is among the government's priority projects in order to relieve pressure on Jakarta's congested Tanjung Priok port. Coordinating Minister of Economic Affairs Airlangga Hartarto said the president had called for the port to be launched in November. It is set to host a first shipment of cars after the launch, Hartarto told a streamed news conference.
