The conmpany`s president director, Jeremy Weng, made the statement here on Tuesday at a meeting with Pelindo II delegations and HDHM officials in connection with the planned shipment of three cranes bought from the company by Pelindo for ports in Indonesia.
"We are interested in doing business in Indonesia but we still have yet to discuss it internally first. Of course we need a lot of information in connection with it especially regarding the total investment to be needed," he said.
Crane industries in China are seeking to expand outside China following its success in controlling local market.
They have even targeted Asia especially Southeast Asia including Indonesia.
Chinese companies recently won a bid for the procurement of 45 new cranes of various types from Pelindo II in 2010 worth Rp796 billion.
The transport ministry has stated that tender for the development of Kalibaru Utara terminal at Tanjung Priok port in Jakarta would continue nd has pushed for immediate implementation of the tender so that the project could be finished in the middle of 2013 when it is predicted the port of Tanjung Priok would no longer be capable of meeting container growth.
In 2014 the volume of containers is predicted to reach 6.1 million TEUs while the capacity of Tanjung Priok is only 6.2 million TEUs.
The Pelindo II delegations were in China to assure the shipment of the 45 cranes that it had bought from three Chinese companies namely Qingdao Heavy-Duty Machinery in Qindao, Nanjing Port Machinery plant in Nanjing and Wuxi Huadong Heavy Machinery Co.Ltd. in Wuxi. (*)
