Rp1.4 trillion investment, SIG prepares export facility for 1 million tonnes of cement

Jakarta — Vice President Gibran Rakabuming Raka visited the development project for the jetty and production facilities of PT Semen Indonesia (Persero) Tbk (SIG) in Tuban, East Java, which involves an investment of Rp1.4 trillion. The strategic project is targeted to be completed and ready for operation by mid-2026 to boost cement exports to global markets. ‘May it soon be operational and support the enhancement of the nation’s capabilities on the global stage as well as the sustainable development agenda, not only in Indonesia, but also abroad,’ the Vice President said in an official statement on Saturday, 7 March 2026.

The development includes increasing the capacity of the Special Terminal from 15,000 Deadweight Tonnage (DWT) to 50,000 DWT by constructing a new jetty trestle and a jetty platform connected to existing facilities. To support production, facilities such as an 8,000-ton blending silo system, a 15,000-ton clinker silo system, and two cement silo systems, each with 18,000 tonnes capacity, are being built.

Other supporting facilities include the installation of a 4.1-km tube conveyor, a tripper conveyor, and a ship loader with a capacity of 1,000 tonnes per hour to convey bulk cement from the factory to ships berthed at the dock. The Vice President hopes the company will maintain and enhance standards and environmental management in the operation of these facilities.
