Crude oil, not containers, defines the Lawi Lawi (Lawe-Lawe) Oil Terminal on the East Kalimantan coast of Borneo, near Penajam and Balikpapan. Tankers up to VLCC size discharge at a single-point mooring (SPM); the crude is held in onshore tanks and piped to the Balikpapan refinery, with Pertamina expanding the site into a centralised crude terminal of roughly 25 million barrels. The facility is an open roadstead in the Makassar Strait, offering anchorage depths around 21 m for large tankers but no general-cargo or container quays. Boxed freight, breakbulk and project cargo are not handled here and should route via Balikpapan (Semayang/Kariangau) or Samarinda. For forwarders, Lawi Lawi is relevant only for liquid energy flows, not for FCL, LCL or conventional consignments. Customs clearance for merchandise trade accordingly takes place at the neighbouring commercial ports.
