The government is finalising plans to build Cilamaya port in Karawang, West Java, as a main candidate to substitute for Tanjung Priok port, reported Bisnis Indonesia.

          The potential location was identified following the completion of a review conducted by the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA).

          Cilamaya port was initially prepared by state port operator (Pelindo) II to substitute for Tanjung Priok port due to its strategic location as it was near to manufacturing centres.
