JAKARTA – PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) II is chosen as the state-owned port holding among the other three state-owned ports, including Pelindo I, Pelindo III, and Pelindo IV. The legal step to finalise the merger of these four state-owned ports would be incorporated in the Government Regulation.
In the information disclosure quoted on Thursday (2/9), the said plan is said to have obtained a presidential initiative permit from President Joko Widodo, announced by State Secretary in letter No.B-584/M/D-1/HK.02.02/08/2021.
