PT Pembangunan Perumahan (PTPP) – the government-owned public housing company, has demonstrated its resolve to build a world-class international port facility at the Port of Benoa in South Bali.
According to Kompas.com, the company secretary of PTPP, Joko Raharjo, insists that the modern port facility represents much more than merely an infrastructure improvement. Raharjo added via a press statement on Monday, 03 February 2025: “This port is an effort to improve connectivity, support tourism, and strengthen the regional economy,” Continuing, he said that the completion of the construction of Benoa Port underlines PTPP’s position among the most trusted construction companies in the country. Another high-quality project recently completed by the State-owned PTPP includes the Bali International Hospital (BIH) in the Sanur Special Economic Zone (SEZ).
Joko Raharjo explained that among the several innovations introduced in the development of the Port was the use of pilings on access roads in mangrove areas that permit unimpeded water flow and tidal changes. The Port Development Project in Benoa also emphasized the wide-scale replanting of mangrove areas and the conservation of coral reef and transplantation efforts.
PTPP played a central role in the development of Benoa Port by designing and constructing the port facilities. The Company also dredged the Port’s shipping lanes and undertook all elements in creating the I-Bali Maritime Tourism Hub.
In addition, the Benoa Port is designed to be an integrated maritime activity center, facilitating cross-sector collaboration and encouraging tourism-based economic growth in Bali. The Benoa Port is also expected to catalyze a synergistic business ecosystem, supporting Bali’s sustainable economic growth.
“So, through the Benoa Port project, PTPP has shown its commitment to building quality and sustainable infrastructure,” proclaimed Joko.
Meanwhile, Erick Thohir, the BUMN Minister of State-Owned Enterprises, has said he is optimistic that the Benoa Port will increase the number of international tourist visitors by 1.5 times. “Benoa Port will also increase and double domestic tourists, large ships that previously could not dock can now dock,” said Thohor during a recent visit to Benoa Port.
Separately, Denpasar’s Mayor, IGN Jaya Negara, hopes that the Benoa Port will help improve the welfare of the Balinese people, especially the residents of the City of Denpasar.
