The code ID SXK belongs to Saumlaki, administrative seat and principal port of the Tanimbar Islands at the far south of Indonesia's Maluku province. Sitting on the southern tip of Yamdena, the harbour was modernised in 2017 and can now handle larger Pelni passenger liners, while subsidised Perintis vessels supply the surrounding archipelago of some 65 islands between the Banda and Arafura seas. Traffic centres on supplies, building materials and agricultural produce in inter-island and feeder service rather than large-scale containerised liner cargo. Saumlaki is also an official port of entry with customs clearance, a convenient check-in point for yachts arriving from Australia. A fairway depth of around 4.9 m caps vessel sizes. For containers and mainline connections, shippers route via Ambon or Surabaya.
