Semen Padang builds silos

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned cement producer PT Semen Padang in West Sumatra plans to build two silos in Bengkulu to support its marketing in the province, the company said Saturday.

Company technical director Dwi Sucipto said they would start constructing the two silos at the port of Baai Island next week.

The silos would enable the company to more efficiently market its cement in the province, he was quoted by Antara as saying.

Dwi said the firm also plans to develop a dock at the Teluk Bayur port in West Sumatra specifically for ships that would carry its cement. (jsk)
