Opened in 1996, the Merak Mas Terminal has grown into a privately run multipurpose facility on the Sunda Strait in Banten province, western Java. Operated by the Sinarmas Group, it handles containers, breakbulk and general cargo alongside dry and liquid bulk, and has served carriers such as Maersk, OOCL, Wan Hai and Evergreen. The terminal sits within the Cilegon industrial belt, where steel and petrochemical plants generate a steady share of its cargo. Road connections via the toll motorway link the port to Jakarta and Serang in the hinterland. For high-volume container liner traffic, however, Jakarta's Tanjung Priok remains Indonesia's principal gateway, with Merak Mas focused on industrial, bulk and regional container flows. Forwarders treat it as a complementary access point to the industrial zones of western Java.
