The Sinarmas Group runs Merak Mas Terminal (ID MRK) as a privately operated multipurpose facility on the Sunda Strait in Banten province, western Java, not to be confused with the neighbouring state-run ASDP ferry port of the same town. Open since 1996, 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 serves the Cilegon industrial belt, where steel and petrochemical plants generate a steady share of its cargo, with toll motorway access to Serang and Jakarta. Trucks bound for Sumatra depend on the adjacent Merak–Bakauheni ferry corridor, which runs around the clock with a departure roughly every twelve minutes. During the Lebaran travel peak ASDP deploys 28 to 33 vessels a day and diverts heavy goods vehicles in classes VIII and IX to BBJ Port at Bojonegara — worth planning for if you are routing trailers. For high-volume container liner traffic Jakarta's Tanjung Priok remains Indonesia's principal gateway, leaving Merak Mas best suited to industrial, project and bulk cargo destined for western Java.
