Maybe Indonesia will go for an international consortium this time, given the number of parties interested in this project.

Maybe Indonesia will go for an international consortium this time, given the number of parties interested in this project.

no usually we will trying to eliminate the contestants by conducting trial phases, just like HSR project in Bandung-Jakarta originally there is five companies from five country who is interested to develop the project. But by conducting trial phase by exacting and examining their proposal and presentation only two contender is worth for further considerations.

During 1980s~1990s time of China economy reform, a famous slogan called by China CCP: "想致富先修路 / Want to get rich first building roads " ... it's a simple & effective truth for us, i believe it also can fit for most developing countries in the world. Im glad to see today Indonesia is experiencing what yesterday China ever experienced, building the infrastructures & fast logistics will efficiently boost local economy development in indonesia, well done !

Yup at the same time, currently our government is building railway in Sulawesi Islands (Celebes), for two thousands kilometer long is the aim. Not to mention, Indonesia is building railway and trans Kalimantan roads (including 1500 km postal border roads along Indonesia-Malaysia borderline, to giving us an upper hands for mobilizing our army and logistic line in case conflict against Malaysia is erupted). And currently trying to double tracking and linking all the existence railway line in Sumatra and Java.

Yup we are very busy to build a large scale infrastructure like roads, railway, Deep Sea Ports and International Airport.

Sure, Indonesia will need much more bridges & tunnels than China between islands ... im no doubt Indonesia will become the master of bridge & tunnel building, when u get ur achievements after years development.

 

[Kyle Sun]

We will not just help you to build the rail but also your team.
I believe this will benefit indonesia in the long term.

Indonesia is not just the country of thousand islands but also the country of thousand bridges!

 

[Aepsilons]

Best wishes to Indonesia in selecting the best provider for this infrastructure goal. Wishing always for the best for Indonesia.

Indonesia is not just the country of thousand islands but also the country of thousand bridges!

Need more, not enough also need tunnels.

 

[AndrewJin]

Need more, not enough also need tunnels.

Some companies in my city are best in constructing bridges, nearly all crazy bridges in China are built by them.
I hope their expertise could be shared in every developing country.

Trans-Sumatra railway in sight
The Transportation Ministry is preparing a 2,168-kilometer railway linking Aceh in the northern part of Sumatra to Lampung on the southern tip of the country’s longest island as part of the medium-term development program.

The feasibility study for the development of the Trans-Sumatra railway is expected to begin next year.

According to the government’s 2015-2019 National Mid-Term Development Plan (RPJMN) draft released by the National Development Planning Board (Bappenas) last week, the 2,168-kilometer railway will stretch from Aceh to Lampung, connecting Sumatra’s major cities, seaports and airports to ease traffic and reduce logistics costs.

The Transportation Ministry’s director general for railways Hermanto Dwiatmoko said that the government would prioritize the feasibility study and land-acquisition process for the Pekanbaru-Dumai section in Riau.

“We’ve decided to prioritize this section because we’re planning to construct it alongside the Trans-Sumatra toll road’s Pekanbaru-Dumai section to simplify the land-acquisition process,” Hermanto told The Jakarta Post on Tuesday. “The feasibility study may take up to one year but we will speed up the land-acquisition process in cooperation with the local administration.”

• The 2,168-km railway will stretch from Aceh to Lampung, connecting major cities, seaports and airports
• Feasibility study for the Trans-Sumatra railway project is expected to begin next year

In October, the previous government conducted the ground-breaking ceremony of the initial 15.8-kilometer Medan-Binjai section of the 2,700-kilometer Trans-Sumatra toll road.

The second stage of construction of the total 24 sections will stretch 22 km from Palembang to Indralaya in South Sumatra, and will be followed by the Pekanbaru-Dumai and Bakauheni-Terbanggi sections.

President Joko “Jokowi” Widodo on Tuesday visited Lampung to review in detail the plans for the construction of the Trans-Sumatra toll road and railway.

“We will start the construction of both the toll road and railway across Sumatra next year,” he said at Bakauheni port as quoted by Antara.

Jokowi said he would listen to reports from the governor of Lampung regarding preparations for the development projects. He expressed hope that the planning would be closely linked with the development of long-term integration and connectivity between regions, so as to lower logistics costs.

The government has set a target of reducing the country’s logistics costs from the current 23.4 percent of GDP to 19.2 percent in 2019.

Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro previously said that the Sumatra railway was one of the government’s priority projects to integrate freight transportation outside Java.

“Sumatra has railways, but they are scattered everywhere in Medan, in Padang, in Lampung; we want to connect these railways, more for freight than for passengers,” he continued.

The government will need a total of Rp 5.5 quadrillion in investment for infrastructure projects between 2015 and 2019 with Rp 283 trillion for railway development, according to Bappenas. The agency aims to complete the Rp 65 trillion Trans-Sumatra railway project by 2025.

Hermanto said that the government would also prioritize the southern Java double-track railway and the Makassar-Pare-Pare railway in South Sulawesi next year.

National Development Planning Minister and Bappenas chief Andrinof Chaniago said the new administration would not prioritize high-speed rail over the next five years.

“High-speed rail is deemed unrealistic within the near future. We will concentrate more on the development of railways, seaports and airports,” he said recently.

The Indonesian and Japanese governments had previously agreed to conduct a detailed feasibility study on adopting Japan’s Shinkansen high-speed rail technology connecting Jakarta and Surabaya.

Transportation Minister Ignasius Jonan said construction of neither the Jakarta-Surabaya high-speed rail link nor the Jakarta airport express train from Halim Perdanakusuma Airport to Soekarno-Hatta International Airport would be financed from the state budget.

Manokwari (ANTARA News) - The master plan of a railway project in east Indonesias West Papua province is expected to be completed by the end of December 2015, according to local Transportation and Communication Department spokesman Bambang Heriawan Soesanto.

"The railway system should be available soon as this program is important for large-scale economic development in West Papua," Soesanto remarked here on Monday.

He stated that the consulting and technical teams from the West Papua Department of Transportation and Communication had been on the field to survey, assess, and seek inputs on the districts and cities that will be covered by the railway network.

According to the spokesman, the teams will return to Manokwari on Monday to finalize the preparations of the master plan.

Soesanto stated that the construction of a railway network in West Papua is a great program with a long-term vision.

He believes that the existence of a railway network in West Papua will be able to improve effectiveness and efficiency in the distribution of mining, agricultural, and plantation commodities to support the regional economy.

"With the existence of a railway network, oil, gas, minerals, coal, and agricultural and other natural resources can be distributed more quickly and at relatively low costs," he pointed out.

He expressed hope that the people and all public elements in the area would support the railway network, which has been launched by the central government.

In the near future, PT SDIC Papua Cement Indonesia will operate in the region of Maruni to mine quartz sand at the Botak Mountain Region in Momiwaren, South Manokwari District.

"The transportation of quartz sand materials will be easier and cheaper if done by train," he said.
