CONSTRUCTION is underway on a new cruise terminal located in West Lombok, Indonesia which, when complete, will facilitate the arrival of cruise ships with capacity of up to 4,000 passengers.
The Gili Mas Terminal, which is being constructed by Indonesia’s state port authority PT Pelindo III, aims to boost cruise tourism for the region as well as help with local economic growth.
Pelindo III ceo Ari Askhara told local media the terminal would “spur economic activity” and complement the upcoming billion-dollar Mandalika integrated resort zone, as well as “functioning as another main gate for foreign tourists visiting the province”.
“The Gili Mas Terminal is an expansion of the Lembar Seaport and is intended to facilitate the increase in economic activity for West Nusa Tenggara,” he added.
The building, which spans 440m by 26m received a total investment of US$90.35 million and is expected to be completed by the middle of 2019.
