JAKARTA -- Three Japanese and two Indonesian companies are set to win a $1.2 billion contract to build a port in West Java, Indonesia's Ministry of Transportation said Sunday, as the country looks to improve a costly and inefficient logistics system.
Japan's Penta-Ocean Construction, Toa and Rinkai Nissan Construction will work with local players Wijaya Karya and Pembangunan Perumahan on the port of Patimban, to be located 150km east of the capital. These companies will handle part of the first phase project and will break ground as early as June.
