The Port of Jakarta (Port Code:IDUTE) is the biggest seaport in Indonesia and one of the biggest in the Java Sea region. With annual capacity for about 45 million tons of cargo and four million TEUs of containerized cargo, the Port of Jakarta is a major employer with over 18 thousand workers. The Port of Jakarta contains twenty terminals devoted to general, dry bulk, liquid bulk, and containerized cargoes. Specialized terminals handle oil, chemicals, scrap, and passengers. The Port of Jakarta has quays of a total 16.8 thousand square meters in length with 76 berths. Jakarta UTC3 is situated nearby to Sunter River, and close to Koja Canal.
The Port of Jakarta's Container Port (JCP) is the largest container terminal in Indonesia and the country's national hub port. The August 2004 Indonesian Commercial Newsletter announced that Indonesia would employ Japanese technology to build a new port in Jakarta. Recognizing that Jakarta's traditional port, Tanjung Priok had not seen improvements for 150 years, the new Port of Jakarta (Djakarta) would help meet the growing demands of import and export traffic.
