About This Seaport
Serving the remote, agriculture-driven southeast of Indonesia's Papua province, Merauke is the main container gateway for a region with few overland links to the rest of the country. Its terminal on the Maro River is run by Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP) and handled 52,715 TEU in 2025, up about 14% on the 46,429 TEU of 2024. Shallow river and quay depths (channel around 4.9 m, pier about 3.4 m) mean the port is fed by feeder and inter-island services from western Indonesian ports rather than by large ocean vessels. A storage yard of only about 1.5 hectares causes congestion, and additional off-dock container depots are planned. For forwarders, Merauke suits consumer and supply cargo bound for southeast Papua, while larger or time-critical flows move via Jayapura or the principal hub at Surabaya (Tanjung Perak).
