Pelindo Is Ready To Serve The Binjeita Power Plant In The Mandatory Pilot Waters Of Labuan Uki

PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), known as Pelindo, has been entrusted by the Ministry of Transportation to continue providing pilotage and berthing services in the Class III Mandatory Pilot Waters of Labuan Uki, North Sulawesi, as per the decision of the Director General of Sea Transportation Number KP-DJPL 705 Year 2024.

Nurlayla Arbie, the General Manager of Pelindo Regional 4 Manado, stated that Pelindo is dedicated to offering the best services to all port users in Labuan Uki waters.

"Currently, Pelindo has successfully managed pilotage and berthing operations at the Sulut-2 Amurang Power Plant," Nurlayla mentioned.

Recognizing the high demand potential, Pelindo is ready to expand its services to the Sulut-1 Binjeita Power Plant, located about 172 km from Amurang.

"We have prepared a complete and licensed fleet of tugboats to meet the needs at Binjeita Power Plant," Nurlayla added.

To support safety and security in navigation at Binjeita Power Plant, Pelindo received a recommendation from the Head of the Class III UPP Labuan Uki Office regarding the operation of pilotage and berthing services in the area on September 15, 2022.

Additionally, on July 15, 2023, Pelindo, along with the Head of the Class III UPP Labuan Uki Office at that time, conducted a jetty docking test to prepare for compliance with the administrative requirements for the Permanent Jetty Operation Permit at Binjeita Power Plant.

Lucky H Nangsoy, the Chairman of the DPC Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association (INSA) Manado, supports Pelindo in enhancing and expanding its services as a state-owned enterprise in the port sector. "I hope Pelindo remains consistent in providing excellent and professional services," Lucky said.

PLTU Sulut-1 Binjeita is a coal-fired power plant located in Bolaang Mongondow, North Sulawesi. It is owned by PLN and aims to boost the electricity supply in North Sulawesi and Gorontalo.

To enhance collaboration among state-owned enterprises and support government initiatives, Pelindo and PLN have signed a Memorandum of Understanding for business cooperation. A key aspect of this agreement is the partnership in managing and operating the Private Terminal (TUKS) or Special Terminal (TERSUS) owned by PLN, which includes potential collaboration with PLTU Sulut-1 Binjeita.

"We believe that the collaboration between Pelindo and PLN will provide the best benefits and services for the people of North Sulawesi," Nurlayla concluded.
