Three jetties handling vessels from 3,500 to 65,000 dwt, refrigerated LPG storage and around 98,000 t of capacity define Tanjung Sekong (ID TSE) near Cilegon, also known as the Merak Petroleum Base. Run by PT Pertamina Energy Terminal since 2012 and upgraded to refrigerated LPG service in 2020, the site supplies roughly 40% of Indonesia's LPG demand and also holds liquid petroleum products. It is not set up for containers, break-bulk or consolidated customs clearance — this is a dedicated liquid-energy terminal. Its position on the Sunda Strait gives short sea legs to Jakarta and Sumatra, with inland distribution by pipeline and road tanker. For containers and general cargo into West Java, Tanjung Priok in Jakarta remains the relevant gateway. Forwarders should classify Tanjung Sekong squarely as an energy terminal rather than a multipurpose port.
