Strategically situated along a major east-west shipping lane and blessed with deep waters,
the Karimun Islands offer numerous advantages as Indonesia’s latest emerging industrial zone.
Located just 40 km from Singapore, the Karimun Maritime Complex presents a unique investment
opportunity. Investors can leverage Singapore’s international connectivity and comprehensive
facilities to launch operations rapidly, while benefiting from a cost-competitive operational
environment in Karimun. Karimun is exceptionally well-suited for heavy engineering and maritime
industries, thanks to its easy access via the Strait of Malacca and deep-water berths capable of
accommodating Very Large Crude Carriers (VLCCs).
Infrastructure to support maritime and industrial activities—including roads and other transport
facilities—is already in place. Furthermore, the provision of electricity and water—currently
managed
for self-use—can be easily expanded, given the availability of existing resources and previously
operational supporting facilities.
Karimun is the third island in the Riau Islands Province—alongside Batam and Bintan—to be
designated
by the central government for development, a fact that serves as a guarantee for its success.
Specifically the Phase 1 Industrial and Marine Complex (1,000 ha) on Karimun Besar island,
together
with three smaller pulau Karimun Kecil (350Ha), pulau Assam (360Ha) dan pulau Mudu (80Ha)
The current population of Karimun is over 273,000 people. Regular ferries ply betwen Karimun and
Singapore which is one and half hour away by boat
