Tanjung Emas Port Semarang

INTRODUCTION

Historical Port From The Colonial Era

Port of Tanjung Emas is a seaport in Semarang, Indonesia. It is the seaport in Semarang, the capital city of Central Java. It is located about 5 km from Tugu Muda of the city center. It was constructed in the nineteenth century by the Dutch colonial government, for use in exporting sugar and various agricultural products coming from the hinterlands in Central Java, replacing a heavily silted, pre-colonial port. The port has been operated by Pelindo III since 1985. In 2017, Pelindo III announced plans for a land reclamation of 22 hectares with a budget of USD 110 million, as part of future port development.
