JAKARTA (The Jakarta Post/ANN): The government has launched the Batam Logistics Ecosystem (BLE), a one-stop digital platform that aims to reduce high logistics costs by eliminating red tape caused by paper-based processes.

“The potential for maritime projects in the Riau Islands is very high, which is why we want to accelerate these projects. The BLE can hopefully drive more investments [to] boost the province’s economy, ” Coordinating Maritime Affairs and Investment Minister Luhut Pandjaitan said on Thursday (March 18) at the BLE launch event in Batam, Riau Islands.
