Cruise passengers stepping ashore, tuna longliners landing their catch and bunker barges topping up visiting ships set the tone at Benoa, Bali's largest port near Denpasar. Rather than a general cargo hub, it functions mainly as the island's international cruise gateway, a fishing base exporting tuna to Japan, and the site of the Tanjung Benoa FSRU for LNG imports. Container and bulk handling do take place but stay limited; the port accepts vessels up to about 270 metres, with a turning basin around 12 metres deep. For pure container or bulk shipments to Bali, the northern port of Celukan Bawang is often the better choice, while large volumes route through the Tanjung Perak container hub at Surabaya. Freight planners should treat Benoa as a specialised port for cruise, fish, fuel and LNG rather than a mainstream cargo port.
