JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): Transportation Minister Budi Karya Sumadi said Monday (Nov 16) that the Japan-backed Patimban seaport is expected to be the logistic hub for goods shipped to and from eastern Indonesia to Java Island, complementing the busy Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta.

Tanjung Priok Port will then primarily handle shipments that are bound and coming from the western part of the country, he said.
