Indonesia: Sorong Port Construction Delayed

According to Indonesian state-owned port operator PT Pelindo II, the typical Indonesian problems of land acquisition will delay the construction of Sorong Port in West Papua.

“Most of the area where we will construct the port belongs to the local people and we have found that it is not that easy to convince them that the project will benefit them,” said Pelindo II corporate secretary Yan Budi Santoso.

Portnews.ru reports that Pelindo II plans to spend IDR1trn ($104m) on this capital project.
