Project Description:

This project fills a vital need during the
reconstruction as it supports the logistics of transportation of reconstruction materials. This support enables reconstruction agencies to move cargo critical for the progress of reconstruction to the West Coast of Aceh and even remote landing sites on Nias and Simeulue.

This project provided a full-fledged shipping service throughout 2006. Since then, shipping of goods has transitioned to the commercial sector, while the project continues to provide logistics support. It also continues to operate heavy equipment such as forklifts and reach stackers to enable off -loading of cargo in an effi cient and safe manner.
