IDXChannel - State-owned port company PT Pelindo has announced a marina tourism center development project at the Bali Maritime Tourism Hub (BMTH), Benoa Port of Bali, that supports Indonesia's vision to be a major player in the global maritime industry.
"The new marina in Bali realizes our vision to become a key player in the global maritime industry, combining the experience of comfort and quality service along with safe and world-class infrastructure," Pelindo President Director Arif Suhartono said in a statement issued on Saturday.
The marina facility is designed to have 180 docks and could accommodate more than 50 super yachts measuring up to 90 meters in length, Suhartono informed.
According to him, the marina is targeted to become operational in the second half of 2025 and is expected to have a multiplier effect on the development of butterfly route cruise routes that include major ports such as Tanjung Emas, Tanjung Perak, Gilimas, Labuan Bajo, and Raja Ampat.
To introduce BMTH, Pelindo held the "Sail to Indonesia Goes to BMTH" event from October 2–4, 2024, which was attended by more than 50 yachters from dozens of countries participating in the Sail to Indonesia Rally.
