Special Economic Zone

Based on Government Regulation No. 26/2012, PT Jababeka Tbk has been mandated to develop a Special Economic Zone in Tanjung Lesung. It is located 170 kilometers from Jakarta, via the Jakarta–Tangerang Toll Road, then the Tangerang–Merak Toll Road, and finally the small road to Tanjung Lesung, taking in all 4 to 5 hours. So, the company will build an 83-kilometer highway from Serang to Panimbang, because building a toll road will be difficult with the land acquisitions. An airstrip in Panimbang is also being considered because from there it only needs 10 minutes to reach Tanjung Lesung. The company has acquired partners to build a Cruise Port in a 50 hectares area, which will be built soon.
