About This Seaport
Crude and product tankers queue off Balikpapan Bay (ID BPN), where Pertamina's Refinery Unit V dominates the East Kalimantan shoreline and defines the port's identity. General cargo and passengers move through the Semayang basin, whose expansion is hemmed in by steep seabed and the adjacent refinery berths. Container traffic has therefore shifted to the Kariangau terminal, run by Pelindo subsidiary PT Kaltim Kariangau Terminal. That box business is gaining weight as Indonesia builds its new capital, Nusantara, nearby; to handle materials for the capital project, Kariangau's existing 270-metre wharf is set to be extended toward roughly 1,000 metres. Coal from the Kalimantan interior and project cargo for the construction and oil sectors round out the throughput. Road and coastal shipping link Balikpapan to Java, while Surabaya (Tanjung Perak) and Makassar remain the larger container hubs for the region.
