Gold Coast International Ferry Terminal in Bengkong Inaugurated: A Step in Batam’s Transport Links and Trade Growth
Batam, April 15, 2025 — Batam gains a new link in its transport system. The Gold Coast International Ferry Terminal in Bengkong opened on Monday, April 14, 2025. BP Batam and government leaders came together to start this project.
A Moment in Batam’s Growth
Head Amsakar Achmad and Deputy Head Li Claudia Chandra of BP Batam spoke with clear thanks. They focused on the work that brought the terminal to life. The site lies in the Golden Prawn industrial area. PT. Aneka Sarana Sentosa built the terminal. The city sees this work as a strong step for progress.
"We thank the Ministers and the National Police Chief for their help," said Amsakar Achmad. He added that government and city posts work side by side for Batam’s success.
The Ceremony and Its Leaders
The ceremony saw many leaders. Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono, the Infrastructure Minister, joined to open the terminal. Also present were General Listyo Sigit Prabowo, Johanis Tanak, Saffar M. Godam, Capt. Bharto Ari Rajarjo, H. Ansar Ahmad, and Nyanyang Haris Pratamura. General Prabowo spoke about local investments. He stressed the need for all groups to work with the police to stop human trafficking and illegal acts near Batam’s waters.
Minister Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono said the terminal fits into Indonesia’s changing trade and travel plans. He urged everyone to enjoy the new service while keeping sea safety in mind.
The terminal offers Batam a new point of connection. It grows the number of ferry ports from five to six. Every day, Ferry Dolphin runs a trip to Stulang Laut. In time, Batam may see more foreign visitors, new investments, and work for locals.
Looking Forward
The terminal opens more than just a new ferry service. It shows a steady step for Batam’s transport and trade. Minister Agus closed by saying: "We celebrate the new terminal. We hope it brings many visitors, new investments, and jobs for our people."
With the steady work of government, business, and law groups, Batam stays a key seaport city. The work here will bring more growth in the coming years.
