Ciwandan Port Infrastructure Highlighted as National Logistics Backbone on Dock Day
In the momentum of National Dock Day, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 2 Banten introduced the reliable infrastructure of Ciwandan Port as a support for port and national logistics activities. The infrastructure includes water facilities, port protection, berthing facilities, and integrated land areas to support the smooth flow of ships and goods. This is part of Pelindo Banten’s commitment to providing safe, efficient port services that meet the business needs of service users.
As one of the strategic ports in Banten Province, Ciwandan Port is supported by various berthing facilities such as docks, jetties, bollards, and breasting dolphins that function to support the ship berthing process safely and smoothly. The reliability of this infrastructure is a crucial foundation in maintaining the smoothness of loading and unloading activities and supporting the movement of logistics, which is the lifeblood of economic growth.
Not only serving commercial vessels, the docks managed by Pelindo Regional 2 Banten also play an important role in supporting government programmes during seasonal transport periods such as Christmas and New Year (Nataru) and Lebaran transport. The presence of adequate infrastructure enables services to the public to run more optimally, especially during times of increased passenger mobility and goods distribution.
“A dock is not just a place for ships to berth, but a meeting point that connects economic activity, logistics distribution, and public mobility. Therefore, we continue to maintain the reliability of the infrastructure so that services can run safely, smoothly, and provide benefits for many parties,” said General Manager of Pelindo Regional 2 Banten, Benny Ariadi.
The operational performance of Ciwandan Port demonstrates the real contribution of the infrastructure to port activities. Throughout the period from January to May 2026, Ciwandan Port served 489 ship calls with a total cargo flow of 1,857,275 tonnes. Of this volume, dry bulk cargo dominated at around 58.4 percent of the total volume handled, showing the port’s important role in supporting the distribution of various strategic commodities.
“This operational achievement is proof that well-maintained and properly managed infrastructure can support smooth port services. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen service quality and ensure that Ciwandan Port can be a reliable partner for the business world and the community by serving wholeheartedly,” concluded Benny Ariadi.
Furthermore, Pelindo Regional 2 Banten guarantees service and business continuity through the strict implementation of Occupational Safety and Health (K3) standards. This is crucial considering that operations in the port area require zero-mistake management to maintain the sustainability of the company’s business and its partners.
Through the momentum of National Dock Day, Pelindo Regional 2 Banten reaffirms its commitment to continuously providing quality port services through reliable, sustainable, and user-oriented infrastructure management. With facilities whose reliability is continuously maintained, Ciwandan Port is expected to continue contributing to strengthening logistics connectivity and supporting regional and national economic growth.
