Belitung's island economy — kaolin, palm oil and construction materials — sets the cargo mix at Tanjungpandan (ID TJQ), the island's principal seaport. Operated by PT Pelindo Multi Terminal, it handles coal, split stone and crude palm oil alongside general cargo such as iron, electric poles, piles, ceramics and kaolin. This is an open-roadstead general-cargo port with a shallow cargo pier (around 1.8 m), not a full container terminal, so larger box volumes still move via the mainland. Inland distribution runs on Belitung's road network linking the quay, the kaolin pits and the island capital. Forwarders with containers or liner cargo generally use Pangkalbalam on Bangka or the Tanjung Priok hub in Jakarta. Customs handling follows Indonesian domestic-trade practice, with direct international calls the exception rather than the rule.
