About This Seaport
Pelindo Terminal Petikemas has run Jayapura as a dedicated container terminal since September 2022, upgrading what was previously a multipurpose general-cargo berth; container throughput for Pelindo's Regional 2 division rose 8 % in the first half of 2026. Sitting on the northern coast of Papua where the Indonesian archipelago meets the South Pacific, the port is the principal maritime gateway for Indonesia's far eastern province. Most calls are domestic feeder services carrying consumer goods, building materials and project cargo inbound, with agricultural produce moving out; the natural harbour also handles breakbulk, dry bulk and ro-ro traffic alongside boxes. Because Papua has no railway, hinterland distribution depends almost entirely on road haulage, and remote highland destinations require onward air or local trucking. Shippers consolidating larger international container volumes typically route via Makassar or Surabaya. About 30 km to the east, the new deep-water port of Depapre is under construction and is planned as Jayapura's eventual replacement as the province's primary port. Until then, Jayapura is best treated as a reliable regional feeder port with growing but finite capacity.
