Cilegon City Government Committed to Optimising Assets and Port Synergy
INFO NASIONAL - The Cilegon City Government supports strategic steps to strengthen synergy between business entities through the signing of a Joint Agreement between PT Pelabuhan Cilegon Mandiri and PT Krakatau Sarana Properti regarding the Use of Access Roads in the Krakatau I Industrial Area of Cilegon, as well as the signing of a Joint Agreement between PT Pelabuhan Cilegon Mandiri and PT Krakatau Bandar Samudera regarding the Plan for Utilisation of Assets owned by PT Pelabuhan Cilegon Mandiri and other Port Services. The event, held at the Royale Krakatau Hotel on Wednesday, 25 February 2026, was attended by the Mayor of Cilegon, Robinsar, the board of directors of the BUMDs, the management of the Krakatau Group, and other related stakeholders.
Robinsar affirmed that the signing of this joint agreement is a follow-up to the memorandum of understanding (MoU) that had been agreed upon previously, especially in order to optimise the potential of assets and land owned by Cilegon City’s BUMDs, including the Warnasari area. “Today’s activity is a follow-up to the MoU, especially regarding the potential of land owned by the BUMDs. In the future, the need for ports and industrial areas will increase, so we must optimise all assets,” he said.
He expressed his gratitude that a plan that had been discussed for years has finally been realised. “Thank God, today we are starting to implement it together without prioritising ego, for the sake of optimising assets and maximising benefits,” said Robinsar.
Robinsar affirmed that the ownership of assets will remain under the Cilegon City Government. This is because the cooperation is focused on utilisation so that the assets are more productive and provide added economic value.
“The assets still belong to the government. It is just how we optimise its utilisation so that it is productive. Rather than the assets being idle, it is better for us to manage them together with the right cooperation scheme,” he said.
Robinsar also affirmed the commitment of the Cilegon City Government to synergise and collaborate with the Krakatau Group and all stakeholders to encourage the revival of the regional economy. “In principle, the Cilegon City Government warmly welcomes these strategic steps. We are ready to synergise and collaborate so that this cooperation has a positive impact, not only for Krakatau Steel and its subsidiaries, but also for the Cilegon City Government through the BUMDs, and for the community as a whole,” he said.
The Director of PT Krakatau Steel, Muhammad Akbar Djohan, said that the signing of this agreement is an important moment in the transformation process of Krakatau Steel, which carries the spirit of Krakatau Steel Reborn. “The transformation of Krakatau Steel relies on trust and collaboration. The great potential in Cilegon can only be realised if all parties eliminate sectoral ego and focus on building an integrated industrial ecosystem,” he said.
The Director of PT Krakatau Bandar Samudera, Noor Fuad, said that the cooperation with PT Pelabuhan Cilegon Mandiri is a strategic step to answer the needs of port development and the increasing interest of investors. “Through this cooperation, we open up great opportunities to encourage the growth of port throughput, investment, and the growth of the local economy of Cilegon City. This is a good start for the management of assets and port services that are more productive and effective,” he said.
In the same vein, the Acting Director of PT Krakatau Sarana Properti, Alexander Yahya Datuk, is committed to synergising and collaborating with PT Pelabuhan Cilegon Mandiri in supporting the regional economic dynamism. “Cilegon has a strategic position with a very mature industrial ecosystem. We are optimistic that this cooperation will be a good start to encourage the economic growth of Cilegon City, Banten, and Indonesia in general,” he said.
Through the signing of this joint agreement, the Cilegon City Government hopes to realise the integrated and sustainable management of assets and the development of port services, which are able to encourage investment and regional economic growth significantly. (*)
