Indonesia, member of ASEAN and G20, is the largest economy in South East Asia. In
recent years, the Indonesian society is relatively stable.The robust economic brings
Indonesia vitality with the GDP growth rate of 6% during 2009-2013. Indonesia has now
entered to the rapid industrial development stage and formed a series of advantageous
industries such as agriculture, mining, energy, processing and manufacturing, tourism,
marine transportation and communication etc, thereby Indonesia becoming a global
emerging country.
Indonesia, an important maritime state, acts as the main point of the throat between the
East Asia and Oceania. In 2013, its major port throughput exceeded 840 million tons. In
2014, the Indonesian government raised “Maritime Highway” and “Maritime Power”
development strategies, and planned eight SEZs including Sei Mangkei, Tanjung Api-api,
Tanjung Lesung, Mandalika, Maloy Batuta Trans Kalimantan, Palu, Morotai and Bitung to
promote Indonesia’s economic.
The scope of the project (covers 20 square meters) is Bitung and North Minahasa, North
Sulawesi, as shown in the figure below. A port and an industrial park are planned to be
developed and constructed within the designated scope.

the eastern Indonesia, which will lead international trade development.
According to the experience of China's industrial park, the SEZ will create around 120-150
thousands job opportunities.
The technology transfer can enhance the park’s production technology from production
equipment, management method, the concept of talent etc., also by improving the labor
skills, all factors will final drive up the production efficiency of the related industries not
only in the whole SEZ, but also in Indonesia.
The future production value will be reach to $8-9.6 billion, and create $200-400 million in
tax revenue if all industries put into operation.
SEZ’s developement will turns some part of the agricultural labor to be engaged in the
production processing, manufacturing and services, etc., which leads to speed up the
local urbanization development process. In addition, it will be optimize the urban space
layout and totally improve the city image of Bitung.
(1)The new port shall be as an indispensible part of the SEZ and the most important
transportation for the raw material and product for the SEZ.

(7) The project also comprises the design contents concerning port roads and yards,
Page 12
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
municipal roads, buildings, power supply, communication, navigation, water supply &
drainage, fire protection, fuel gas, etc. See the “Technical Scheme on Engineering”
for details.
Generally, the construction conditions of the project are basically good and technically
feasible.
The project will be jointly developed by CCCC and the North Sulawesi government. The
cooperation includes the park and the port, wherein, the park comprises primary and
secondary land development, industry import and operation; the port comprises port
construction and operation.
The port will be developed by CCCC and the North Sulawesi government, with the
adoption of “SOT Mode”. The engineering construction of the park and the port will be
undertaken by CCCC with EPC model.
Compilation range for estimation: the port area includes a series of works such as
dredging works, hydraulic structure works, process equipment purchase & installation
works, port work boats, ground treatment works, civil works, water supply & drainage and
fire protection works, environmental protection works, electrical works, control works,
temporary works, etc.; the park includes ground treatment works, housing construction
works, municipal road works, water supply & drainage and fire protection works,
environmental protection works, electrical works, landscape works, temporary works, etc.
According to relevant estimation, the investment estimation of the project is shown in the
table below:
Page 13
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Total 4,100,000,000
In accordance with financial calculation, as the concession fee is fixed in the port, its
investment profitability can meet the benchmark value of financial evaluation indexes for
overseas investment projects of CCCC, and the port possesses debt paying ability and
financial viability. The investment profitability of the park is below the benchmark value of
financial evaluation indexes, but the park possesses debt paying ability and financial
viability, if subsidies can be filled the funding gap. It is recommended to strive for support
from the following aspects so as to improve the project income level:
¾ Apply to the Indonesian government for subsidizing the accumulated surplus funding
gap, in the form of financial subsidies, land compensation, and development right of
certain islands etc.
¾ Lower the port concession fee, subsidizing the park with the aid of the port.
Furthermore, due to the long cultivation period of the starting area, small rolling
development mode shall be adopted, i.e., lowering initial investment to increase project
yield and ease the repayment pressure of principals and interests.

(1) World’s fifth largest economic entity – Southeast Asia, located in Asian region
of the most vigorous economy in the world, is an emerging economic entity
with sustainable high economic growth.
Seated in the southeast of Asia, Southeast Asia includes Vietnam, Laos, Cambodia,
Thailand, Burma, Malaysia, Indonesia, Brunei, Philippines, East Timor and Singapore. In
2013, the population of Southeast Asia was 618 million; the GDP reached about USD 2.4
trillion and the foreign trade volume was about USD 3 trillion which accounted for 9% of
the world’s population, 3% of the GDP and 13% of the global volume of trade respectively.
Southeast Asia has become the world’s fifth largest economic entity (rank only behind the
European Union, the US, China and Japan), the fourth world’s largest import and export
trade area (rank only behind the US, China and Germany) and it is one of the main areas
for developing countries to attract foreign direct investment (FDI). In 2013, Southeast Asia
absorbed USD 116 billion FDI, which is considerably higher than USD 33 billion of the
South Asia and USD 38 billion of the West Asia in the same year.
In recent years, the rate of economic growth of Southeast Asia has maintained a growth
momentum and become an emerging area of world economic growth. The GDP increased
by 5-6% in 2013, which is far higher than 3.0% of the world average level. Relative to
some other key economies sluggishly growing in economy such as Europe (-0.4%), the
US (1.9%) and Japan (1.7%), the Asian regions like Southeast Asia, China and India have
become the world area with the most vigorous economic entity. The international
resources, capitals, funds, information, technologies and talents gather and flow in this
region and thus bringing numerous external development opportunities.

(2) Establishment of ASEAN Trade Agreement and ASEAN-China Free Trade Area
builds a good investment environment for regional development
ASEAN countries are entitled to the preferential policies of ASEAN Trade Agreement. The
economic and trade cooperation among ten ASEAN members are tight and of long
standing. The total volume of trade among them in 2013 reached up to USD 730 billion,
accounting for 24% of the total foreign trade value of ASEAN.
Meanwhile, ASEAN-China Free Trade Area brings development opportunities for the
local. The trade area officially launched entirely on January 1, 2010. Trading between
ASEAN and China accounts for 13% of the world trading, thus ASEAN becomes a huge
economic entity covering 11 countries and 1.9 billion people whose GDP reaches USD 6
trillion. After the construction, it will become a free trade area of the most world population
and the largest one in the developing countries. After the free trade area is constructed in
China-ASEAN, the trade relations between China and ASEAN will be further developed to
realize the strategy of diversifying markets of each country, broaden export channel,
enlarge room for economic development, maintain steady and sound growth of regional
economy and be integrated into globalization and economic integration. After the
construction of free trade area, the tariff between member countries will be significantly
reduces and the non-tariff barrier will be reduced or canceled. According to the
commitments in negotiation between China and ASEAN’s WTO members, the tariff on
ASEAN goods will be decreased by 34-37% within 5 years, which is faster than the
average reduction rate of China. Moreover, China has its market further opened; and
especially the open of service trade will provide vast business opportunities for foreign
investors including ASEAN. Being the largest country in population and economy in

(1) Indonesia leads the Southeast Asia in social stability and economic aggregate
and has stepped in the rapid development stage of industrialization
Indonesia is the largest economic entity in Southeast Asia and the member country of
ASEAN and G20. In recent years, Indonesians have lived in a socially stable society and
the economy of Indonesia shows a good growth situation. The economic growth rate
during 2009-2013 was about 6%. Rapid economic expansion brings energy for Indonesia,
making it an emerging country in the world and step in the rapid development stage of
industrialization and thus, relatively preponderant industrial bases such as agriculture,
mining industry, energy sources, manufacturing industry, tourism, sea shipping industry
and telecommunications come into being. Heavy chemical industries like chemical
industry, machinery and transport and communication facilities develop rapidly. World
Economic Forum 2013-2014 Global Competitiveness Report shows that Indonesia ranks
the 38th among 148 most competitive countries and regions around the world.

In the meantime, Indonesia is a hot spot for attracting foreign capital investment. It was
one of the top 20 countries in attracting FDI in 2013 and ranked the second among
Southeast Asian counties. Indonesia ranked the ninth in China’s foreign direct investment
in recent years and the second in Asia.

(2) Indonesia has profound population resources, sufficient labor resources and
large consumer market
In 2013, Indonesia had a population of 248 million, ranking the first in Southeast Asia and
the only behind China, India and the US in the world. During 2000 to 2010, the population
of Indonesia kept an annual growth rate of 1.49%, which then increased to 1.65% during
2010 to 2014. On the whole, the demographic profile of Indonesia is very youthful and the
bonus of labors is abundant. In 2013, the per capita GDP of Indonesia reached USD
3,500. In accordance with the classification standard of the World Bank, Indonesia is a
fresh middle-income country whose middle class gets increasingly developed. With the
Page 20
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
rapid increase of economy and population and on the basis of large population size, a
large internal demand will be gradually expedited.
At the same time, there’re 618 million people in Southeast Asian, which accounts for
nearly 9% of the global population. In consideration of the adjacent East Asian and South
Asian market, the population would accounts for over 50% of the global population. By
virtue of the advantage of spatial-contiguity, Indonesia is also facing a very large foreign
efficient market.
Indonesia is a very important maritime power which curbs the strategic passage of
shipping between the eastern and the western countries (East Asia and Oceania
included). Transport service is one of the industries that develop fast recently. Over 90%
international sales of goods are realized by marine transportation. In 2013, the throughput
of main ports exceeded 840 million tons. Confronting the construction of “Maritime
Highway” and “Maritime Power”, international logistics and shipping development will
bring enormous opportunity. With the rise of China and other East Asian areas, the trade
Page 21
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
contacts between the eastern and the western countries are pretty frequent. Indonesia’s
foreign trade grows rapidly on the whole and it presented a status of favorable balance of
trade in the past ten years. During 2005-2013, the annual import and export volume of
Indonesia maintained a quite rapid growth rate of 12% or 10%.
From the aspect of resources, Indonesia has profound natural resources. Its petroleum,
natural gas, coal, gold, nickel and tin play an important role in international market supply.
However, those resources are mainly gathering in the west area like Kalimantan and
Sumatra. The east area has relatively less mineral resources. Only in the southeast of
Sulawesi has rich nickel ores.

(1) Development level of North Sulawesi is moderate but the development trend is
good
North Sulawesi occupies an area of 15,272 square kilometers and has a population of
2.39 million which accounts for 0.8% and 0.96% of the national level respectively. Its GDP
of 2013 was about USD 5.488 billion, accounting for 0.63% of the national level. The per
capita GDP of 2013 was about USD 2,215. On the whole, North Sulawesi’s economic
status is not very prominent in Indonesia because it has no big city as its backup and its
capital Manado only has a population of about 400,000. In addition to few mineral
industries, industries and LNG exploitation, the people at Sulawesi Peninsulas mainly live
on agriculture and fishery production.
However, the GDP growth rate over the last five years was 7.5% averagely, which is
higher than the development level of 6% of Indonesia. Its human development index only
ranks second to Jakarta in Indonesia.
Located at the borderland of the west and the east area of Indonesia, Bitung and North
Minahasa is in the northeast end of North Sulawesi and about 40km away from Manado,
over 900km apart from Makassar, the economic center of Sulawesi Peninsula and about
1,500km away from the national economic center of Indonesia, Java Island. Due to be
adjacent to the international routes of Oceania, Bitung is of great potential because of the
Page 23
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
opportunities brought by maritime transport in the time when marine economy is more
prominent. Therefore, it is expected to be the hub of the eastern shipping of Indonesia.
Although Bitung is weak in economy, its economic growth rate has increased steadily in
recent years. The growth rate of 2010 was about 6.88% and since 2011, the growth rate
exceeded 7%. In 2013, the growth rate was 7.96%, which exceeds the growth level of
Indonesia and North Sulawesi.
Natural resources: the surrounding resources of Bitung are limited, but the marine
resource there is abundant. Bitung has over 350 fishes; the forest resources are sufficient.
The forest covered area in 2011 was up to 13,401 hectares.
Space resources: Bitung occupies an area of 313 square kilometers. Located in the south
of Bitung and the north of Minahasa, its special economic zone borders on the seas in the
south, adjoins Bitung Port and is next to the Bitung-Manado Expressway under
construction in the northwest, covering an area of 2,000 hectares. Most areas of this place
are available lands and the space resources are rich.
Page 24
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
In 2014, there were about 240,000 in Bitung. The population density of Bitung is 764 per
square kilometer. From 2000 to 2014, the growth rate of population was 3%. Maesa, as
the population accumulation area of Bitung, has 19.19% of the total population of Bitung.
After it, Madidir has 17.84% of the total population of Bitung. For the population age
distribution there, the population of juvenile (0-15) constitutes a large portion. The
unemployment rate of Bitung in 2011 was about 11.30% and the base quota of labor force
is small and isn’t fully applied. There’re three colleges and two universities in Bitung
providing higher education. The people in North Sulawesi, who receive higher education,
accounts for 5% of the total population. With respect to the current labor supply, the
insufficient population resource of Bitung and North Sulawesi (2.39 million) brings some
challenges to the development of large-scale industries and the lack of high technicians
also restrict the industrial development.

2011-2025 Overall Planning for Accelerating and Expanding the Economic Development
of Indonesia, and the supporting Overall Planning for Accelerating and Expanding the
Economic Development of Indonesia are designed to speed up and expand the economic
development vision of Indonesia and to establish an independent, developed, fair and
flourishing Indonesia. The Plan states that Indonesia shall rank among developed
countries before 2025, realize the expected per-capita incomes from 14,250 dollars to
15,500 dollars and the GDP of 4 trillion to 4.5 trillion dollars. For this purpose, the actual
annual economic growth in future must continuously increases by 7% - 9%.
Therefore, the government hopes to improve the added value of primary economic
elements, to increase infrastructure construction and power supply as well as develop

(2) Five-year (2015-2019) plan for the economic development and the “Maritime
Highway” construction of Indonesia
From 2015-2019, the Indonesian government will invest 699 trillion Indonesian rupiah
(about 57.4 billion dollars) in the implementation of “Maritime Highway” construction
planning. In the huge investment plan, the Indonesian government will spend 243.6 trillion
Indonesian rupiah to build 24 international commercial ports throughout the country, 198
trillion Indonesian rupiah to build 1481 non-commercial ports, 101.7 trillion Indonesian
rupiah to purchase ships, 7.5 trillion Indonesian rupiah to develop offshore transportation,
40.6 trillion Indonesian rupiah to update shipyard, etc. At present, the logistics cost of
Indonesia accounts for 23.5% of its GDP, so it hopes to reduce it to 19.2% in 2019. Some
capitals for these items are from national budgetary expenditures and the remaining
capitals are from the state-owned businesses and private sectors of Indonesia. The
Indonesian government also plans to build 15 industrial parks in next five years. The
“Maritime Highway” measures proposed by the Indonesian government to carry out also
include setting up a special fund for ships purchase financing, modifying the import tariff,
value-added tax and income tax of the shipbuilding industry and relevant fields, providing
more flexible bank guarantee for the shipbuilding industry and increasing the proportion of
local manufacturer of newly-built ships to 40%, etc.
As of 2014, the Indonisa government has set up 8 special economic zones. Among which,
Bitung is positioned as international shipping hub port, with fish processing industry,
Page 27
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
coconut and medicinal plant processing industry, and logistics industry as the
development direction. According to relevant provisions of Indonisa on special economic
zones, the investment enterprises at the special economic zones will enjoy such
preferential policyies as tax deduction and exemption, supporting infrastructure and
simplification of the investment procedure. As for special economic zones, the Indonesia
government expectes to introduce more advanced enterprises covering such industries as
logistics, industry, technology, tourism, power and export processing. The investment
enterprises may enjoy a tax exemption period ranging from 5 to 10 years. The Indonisa
government will provide open and flexible special policies, the capacity to going into the
international market (offshore port or airport), the location in the firat recource area for the
special economic zones so as to welcome the investment from individual and private
capitals in diversified cooperation models.
Page 28
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
(1) Land policy: Foreign merchants are permitted to develop land within a certain
year limit
The Indonesian government implements the central and local tax system, and the tax
legislative authority and requisition right are mainly bound to the central. The industry
under the support of the state may enjoy such preferential policies as tax exemptions and
reductions according to government regulation No. 1/2007, No. 62/2008 and No. 52/2011.
For instance, according to President Decree No. 52/2011, food, textile industry, leather
and shoemaking, papermaking, non-metallic mineral products, transportation equipment,
repair and maintenance machinery and equipment and waste treatment industry in the
North Sulawesi may enjoy the preferential policy of amount of tax exemption. Moreover,
according to the provisions in the Financial Minister Decreed No. 130/PMK. 011/2011, the
basic metal industries, petroleum refining industry with an invested amount of 1 trillion
Indonesian rupiah (about 0.112 billion dollars) or the industry refining basic organic
chemicals from petroleum and natural gas, machinery industry, renewable energy sources
industry and communications-equipment manufacturing may enjoy an exemption period
ranging from 5 to 10 years.
Page 29
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Table 2-5 List of industries with amount of tax exemption in the North Sulawesi
(3) Financial policy: Financial control is strict and exchange rate risk is high
The Indonesian government implements the relatively free foreign exchange control
policy, the Indonesian rupiah can be exchanged freely and the capitals cane be
transferred freely. Indonesian bank adopts the exchange rate pricing method of a basket
of currencies, decide the foreign comparison on the special drawing rights of the
exchange rate policy for principal trade partners of Indonesia and announce its exchange
rate every day. The exchange rate of 2013 (average price throughout the year): 1 dollar =
10,500 Indonesian rupiah; on July 9, 2014, 1 dollar = 11,620 Indonesian rupiah; and in
March 2015, 1 dollar = 12,950 Indonesian rupiah. The Indonesian rupiah devalued greatly
Page 30
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
in recent years, so attention shall be paid to exchange rate risk in case of investment.
In 2010, the Central Bank of Indonesia issued new provision on requiring the Merchants
Bank to control the loans and deposits ratio (namely the ratio of issued loans to deposits)
between 78% - 100%, and the Merchants Bank whose loans and deposits ratio is lower
than 78% or higher than 100% shall pay additional deposit reserves. In addition, the
Central Bank of Indonesia required the Merchants Bank to publish its basic rate for loans.
For a long time, the Merchants Bank of Indonesia has more loans and deposits and the
loan rate stays at a high level, therefore the Indonesian government is to encourage the
Merchants Bank to increase loans and keep away from the risks of excessive loans.
(4) Trade policy: Except a few commodities limited by license and quota, most of
commodities are permitted to be operated freely.
According to Trade Law, Customs Law, Law for Construction of World Trade Organization,
Industry Law, Treasury Law, Law against Monopoly, and Improper Trade Competition
Law, the Indonesian government sets up sound trade policies. Except a few commodities
limited by license and quota, most of commodities are permitted to be operated freely.
[Import administration] The Indonesian government adopts quota and license methods for
import administration. ① Quota administration is applicable to alcoholic beverage and
direct raw materials including alcohol and the quota is only issued to domestic enterprise
with approval. ② License administration is applicable to industrial salt, ethylene and
propylene, explosives, motor vehicles, waste and hazardous goods, and the enterprise
with the aforesaid license can only use it in its own production. Among which, the
automation license administration is mainly applicable to such imported products as
chlorofluorocarbon, methyl bromide, hazardous goods, alcoholic beverage and direct raw
materials including alcohol, industrial salt, ethylene and propylene, explosives and its
direct raw materials, waste and used clothes; and the non-automation license
administration is applicable to such imported products as syzygium aromaticum, textile,
iron and steel, synthetic lubricating oil, sugar and farm-oriented instruments.
[Export restriction] The export goods must be with the TDUP/SIUP or commercial
approval issued by the Technology Department according to relevant laws and registration
certificate. The export goods are divided into four categories including the controlled
export goods, monitored export goods, prohibited export goods and export goods
exempted from inspection. ① The controlled export goods include coffee, rattan, forest
products, diamond and rod-like lead. ② The monitored export goods include dairy cattle
and buffalo, mud eel's skin (wet blue), wild animals and plants, Napoleon young fish,
Napoleon fish, palm kernel, petroleum and natural gas, pure gold/silver, steel/iron scraps,
stainless steel, copper, brass and aluminum scraps. ③ The prohibited export goods
Page 31
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
include young fish, gold arowana, etc., raw rattan and raw materials, semi-finished
product of natural raw rattan, log, train iron rails or wooden rails and saw timber, natural
sand, sea sand, cemented soil, topsoil (including surface soil), lead ore and its compound
and powder, residuals containing iron, metal or other compounds as well as mainly
containing white lead, gem (excluding diamond), unprocessed rubber and raw hide
conforming to quality standards, wild animals and plants under the protection of the state,
ironware scraps (excluding that from Batam Island) and antique. ④ Other export goods
exempted from inspection, excluding the aforesaid controlled, monitored and prohibited
export goods.
In addition, the Indonesian government executed the Energy Mineral Minister Decreed
No. 7 on refining and processing raw ore to improving product’s export vale in May 2012,
collect export tax of 20% on 65 minerals exported and carried out other control measures,
reconfirmed to prohibit the export of raw ore and encourage the foreign investors to invest
and set up smelting and processing plant in Indonesia. Since January 12, 2014, the
Indonesian government prohibited the mineral company to export mineral and ore
products and required the mineral company to work on refining and processing activity in
Indonesia.
The trade tariff of Indonesia was increased to some extent. According to the information at
the website of China's Ministry of Commerce, the current average import tax of Indonesia
is 6.8% which is lower than other that of emerging countries including China (9.6%), Brazil
(13.7%) and India (13%). The average tax for the industrial finished products is 6.6%
which is lower than China (8.7%), Brazil (14.2%) and India (10.1%). The Indonesian
government is evaluating the feasibility to increase the import tax of some industrial
finished products covering 741 tax numbers among 10,000 current tax numbers, mainly
including the tax number of textile, downstream chemical products, basic metals, vehicles,
etc. According to the Agreement on Trade in Goods of the Framework Agreement on
Comprehensive Economic Co-operation between China and ASEAN, China and
Indonesia will gradually cut down the tariff level of the trade in goods.
(5) Investment policy: gradually broadening the foreign capital investment field
and increasing the degree of policy support
On July 4, 2007, Indonesia issued derivative rules of Investment Law (No. 25), namely
Presidential Determination No. 76 of Standards and Conditions on Conditional Closed and
Open Investment Industries in 2007 and Presidential Determination No. 77 of Lists on
Conditional Closed and Open Investment Industries in 2007. In accordance with these two
determinations, 25 industries were declared as the industries forbidding investments and
they can be only operated by the government.
Page 32
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
The industries with forbidden investments include: hard drug plantation and
transaction, fishing industry of protected fish, building materials made of corals or coral
reefs, alcoholic beverage industry, quicksilver chlor-alkali industry, chemical industry
polluting the environment, CBW industry, type numbers of engine-driven motorcycles and
periodic inspections, sea transportation communication or supporting facilities, ship-based
traffic communication systems, air navigation services, wireless electricity and satellite
orbit radio wave command systems, wagon balance stations, public museums, historical
and cultural heritages and historical sites, monuments and gambling industry. Besides,
foreign investors can establish individual proprietorship enterprises, but referring to
Catalogue of Prohibited and Restricted Investment Industries, they shall belong to
industries not prohibited or restricted with a foreign shareholding prohibition by the
Catalogue. Foreign investors can also establish joint venture enterprises with individuals
and companies in Indonesia within the specified range, stocks of the listed companies can
be purchased through open market operation but they are limited by investment laws with
respect to the restrictions in stipulations related to open industries of foreign investments.
In 2011, the Indonesian government denoted that it will further increase the degree of
policy support, attracting investors to develop infrastructure construction of special
economic zones with capital rewards and provided auxiliary equipment. According to the
government regulation (No. 147), if investing in special economic zones, the foreign
investors can enjoy a privilege relieving from 30% of income taxes within five years.
Meanwhile, incentives of taxes were introduced, mainly including: ① import tariffs and
expenses are not are not charged with self-using mechanical equipment, spare and
Page 33
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
accessory parts and auxiliary equipment as well as other capitals, goods and materials;
② import tariffs and expenses are not charged with raw materials used by foreign
enterprises themselves for 2 years; ③ import tariffs can be returned for raw materials
producing export products; ④ employed foreign personnel shall be unlimited for 65% of
product exporting of foreign enterprises in eastern Indonesia; ⑤ the expenditures of
foreign enterprises used for research and development, scholarships, education and
training as well as waste treatment can be listed into costs withholding from gross income;
⑥ for the key fields encouraged by the government can be supplied with loss carry-over
for 8 to 10 years or the depreciation rate of equipment and buildings can be promoted; ⑦
land and building taxes can be levied reducing by half within eight years if investing in the
eastern Indonesia; ⑧for the investment in innovative industries, corporate income tax
can be undertaken for 10-12 years by the government; ⑨ the government also gave
some preferential treatments for foreign investments of tariff-free zones and
comprehensive development areas set up in 15 nationwide districts.
(1) The first category is a field more open to foreign capitals, foreign capital shareholding
ratio of was broaden from zero to 49%, which were the two largest industries with the
maximum broadening range for this time. Other two industries were pharmacy and
financial risk investment industry. The foreign capital shareholding ratios were
adjusted to 85% from the original 75% and 80%. The foreign capital shareholding
ratio in advertising was also broadened from zero to 49% but it was only limited to
ASEAN countries.
(2) The second category was a newly set field of foreign equities and the foreign capital
shareholding ratios were respectively 65%, 65% and 49% in immobile
communication, multimedia comprehensive network telecommunication, and
multimedia service suppliers.
(3) The third category is an infrastructure project field with a public-private partnership,
among which the foreign capital shareholding ratios were respectively 49%, 95% and
49% in operation and management for airports, ports and land way transportation
passenger stations (including railways) together with water supply (95%), toll roads
Page 34
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
(95%), power generating plants below 10 megawatt (49%), power generating plants
above 10 megawatt (100%) and power transmission and power distribution
(respectively 100%). Besides, the negative list for this time also tightened several
fields with foreign capital shareholding ratios such as distributed trade and
warehousing industry for goods were reduced from 100% to 33%. Since the foreign
capital shareholding ratio of the agricultural field shall be matched with the
stipulations of Gardening Law enacted in 2010, reducing from 95% to 30%.
(4) There are completely prohibited industries in detailed lists at present such as some
chemicals, special transport facilities, gaming industry and so on. Partly prohibited
industries include sugaring, mining industry, medicine and so on.
(6) Labor policy: strictly protecting local labors and opening for the employment
of foreign labors with a limited degree.
Since November 2011, Indonesian government requires all the enterprise shall obey the
Labor Laws promulgated in 2003, which stipulates that except a minority of workers such
as cleaner, security guard, driver, mine field services, no labor outsourcing shall be
permitted in any enterprise, and that enterprises shall raise the minimum wages
significantly. At present, considering the main businesses of China-invested enterprises
are contracted projects in Indonesia, which requires greater local labor needs, this act
shall increase enterprises’ labor cost and therefore affect the whole benefits of
Page 35
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
enterprises.
(1) Roads
The external land transportation of Bitung now depends on two-lane roads with a lower
grade. Two highways under construction are connected with the downtown of Bitung and
Manado, the capital of North Sulawesi (39 km). The urban roads of Bitung are about 51.71
km, among which asphalt roads are 6.15 km. Lembeh Bridge connecting Bitung and
Makassar is also being planned and constructed.
(2) Railway
(3) Airport
(4) Port
Being the largest port of northwest Surawith Konsomboon area, Bitung port has 1100m
quay line and nearly 10 berths,including container berths,oil berths,etc. Of which the total
quay line in the west side and north side is 455m, water depth of wharf is 5.18m; the rest
length of the jetty reaches 682m, water-depth of wharf apron 4.88~10.67m. In addition
,water-depth of 500m offshore in the southern area can reach 20m.
The throughput of Bitung port in 2011 reaches about 5.5 million t, with 5594 ships inward
and outward the whole port in 2012, and the container annual throughput reaches nearly
0.20 million TEU, with 286 container-ships berths. Most of goods in Bitung comes from the
domestic trades, with about 3.79 million tons of cargoes imported and exported in the
domestic trades throughput in 2012, of which the main exports are agricultural and local
products such as copra, coconut oil, and coffee, and the main imports are petroleum,
general merchandise, import steel of foreign trades, cement and pitch, etc. the percentage
of both amount and value of Bitung port cargoes imported and exported is less than 1% of
Page 36
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Due to lacking of water and electricity facilities in the most Indonesian areas, the
government offers great support to construct the water and electricity facilities to ensure
the water and electricity supply in this SEZ. There will be planing sewage treatment plants
and water transportation and distribution pipelines, and multipurpose reservoir will be
constructed in Minahasa Utara. In addition, there will planning a capacitance upgrading
program and an upgrading project of main substations and transmission power grids.

Taking advantage of Eastern Asian and Australian shipping rountes , developing new
shipping rountes and relying on the excellence of port-building conditions, Bitung Port
shall be developed into an international shipping hub with functions including collection,
distribution, transportation and transshipment, etc.
Taking the advantage of special preferential policies, the SEZ shall be built as Eastern
Indonesia industrial center and Eastern Indonesia gateway to attract international
industrial transfer actively .Finally, the SEZ shall be developed into North Sulawesi’s or
even Eastern Indonesia’s economic growth pole.
The SEZ shall emphasize environmental protection, create sound policy environment, and
improve the attraction of international investment.

The agricultural resources in Bitung are relatively abundant, which lays good foundation to
the industrial development. In 2011, rice planting area reaches about 500 hectares with
approximately 3000t of output, and the annual output increase speed of peanuts, hot
pepper, mung beans and vegetables reaches to more than 10%. In addition, fish industry
of Bitung is competitive, and the marine fishery yield in Bitung in2012 reaches159 tons,
with an 8.33% increase over 2011, and the marine aquaculture industry yield is 164t.
3.2.3 Fishery processing, wood processing, coconut product processing and ship
building and repairing industry has a certain basis, but industrial system still
remains to be optimized and improved.
Due to the weaker industrial foundation in Bitung, the development of industry in Bitung is
still in a relatively lower stage. From the perspective of the analysis on the industrial
distribution of main enterprises in Bitung, the main enterprises concentrate on the
agriculture and agricultural products processing industry such as fishing and fish
processing, wood processing, coconut product processing, so the industrial development
is in a lower stage.
Page 39
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Fishing 43 7950
To sum up, though the fishing and fish processing, wood processing, coconut product
processing and ship building and repairing industry has laid a certain foundation.
However,the overall whole industrialization is in a relatively initial degree, with
comparatively simple industrial structures and a lower stage of industrial development,
and the industrial system still remains to be optimized and improved.
The project is one of the eight national special economic zones and endowed with a
relatively great mission of development, so the overall status of the park is relatively high.
As for the discrimination of regional industrial development direction, the existing industrial
advantages will be developed based on the existing industrial foundation. Go through
strategies of import substitution and export substitution, on the one hand to meet the
regional and domestic demand. Thus, the import demand will be reduced; on the other
hand, the competitiveness of the industries in the park will be reinforced and the regional
industrialization process will be promoted through the opportunity of international
industrial transfer. Therefore, the future development direction of the industries in the area
will be discussed from the following aspects.
(1) There is a new round of industrial transfer in the world and Southeast Asia is
expected to be the next undertaking place for the traditional industrial transfer
The world is facing a new round of international division of labor and industrial transfer.
Due to the factors of economic slowdown and labor cost inflation, Chinese
manufacturing industry is getting less attractive to foreign direct investment. According to
the Ministry of Commerce of China, from Jan. to July 2014, the actual utilized FDI value of
China is USD 71.14 billion (about RMB 438.1 billion), falling by 0.35% year-on-year
(excluding the data of banking, security, insurance, similarly hereinafter), among which
Page 40
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
USD 25.2 billion is the actual utilized FDI value of the manufacturing industry, falling by
14.26% year-on-year. With the advantages of cheap labor force and land resources as
well as the increasingly perfect infrastructure construction and preferential policies, the
manufacturing industries of the developing countries in South Asia, Southeast Asia and
Latin America are getting stronger. 2013 Global Manufacturing Competitiveness Index
points out that in 2013, 5 countries in Southeast Asia enter top 20 in the rank of global
manufacturing competitiveness index; among which Indonesia ranks 17th and is expected
to rank 11th 5 years later. The international standing manufacturing industry of Southeast
Asia is rising. By far, part of manufacturing industry including textile and garment, tyre,
electronics, machining is transferred to Southeast Asia. More of them are expected to be
transferred in the future. Southeast Asia is expected to be the main undertaking place.

Xi Jinping, General Secretary of China, put forward the strategic ideas of building “New
Silk Road Economic Belt” and “20th Century Maritime Silk Road” respectively in
September and October 2013, stressing that the countries shall forge a “community of
interests” with mutual interests and a “community of destiny” with joint development and
prosperity. "One Belt and One Road" strategy starts from China, goes through Central
Asia, Southeast Asia, South Asia, Western Asia and part of Europe. It concerns the
Asian-Pacific economic circle to the east and influences the European economic circle to
the west. There are almost 60 counties along the road, and most of them are emerging
economies and developing countries with a population of about 4.4 billion and an
economic aggregate of USD 21 trillion, accounting for 63% and 29% respectively of that of
the world. It is the longest economic corridor and largest market in the world. The
countries along the corridor are generally in the period of economic rising, and are
provided with a broad prospect for mutual beneficial cooperation. Thus, it will generate a
large number of opportunities.
Most of the countries along "One Belt and One Road" are in the early stage of
industrialization. Many countries economy development are highly depend on resources
industries such as energy and mining, while China is capable of providing various
machines and transportations to them and ranks relatively high in the industrial chain. In
the construction of "One Belt and One Road", China will develop industries of “three
outsides” including energy outside, resources outside and market outside, thereby
promoting the export of products, equipment and labor, which will facilitate the
development of oversea emerging markets.
Guided by "One Belt and One Road" strategy, Chinese enterprises will become the hard
core of the strategy and play an important role in it. With the further implementation of the
strategy, more and more Chinese enterprises will go out to the world.

(1) The import demand of Indonesia maintains steady growth in the recent 10
years
Throughout the development situation of import trade of Indonesia in the recent 10 years,
the import demand maintains comparatively fast growth in overall. The amount of import
reaches USD 186.6 billion in 2013 from USD 46.5 billion in 2004. The rate of growth in the
recent 10 years remains 17%.

Indonesia imports are mainly concentrated in East and Southeast Asia areas, where
China is a major importing country. It mainly imports from such countries as China, Japan,
Thailand, Singapore, the US, South Korea and Malaysia. In 2013, the import volume of
Indonesia from the above countries is 21%, 14%, 8%, 7%, 6%, 6% and 4% respectively,
accounting for 66% of its total volume of import.

According to the 2011-2025 Overall Planning for Accelerating and Expanding the
Economic Development of Indonesia, Indonesia will strongly promote the development of
its national economy by forging 6 economic corridors. Sulawesi economic corridor is
positioned as a production and processing center of grain planting, tropical plantation,
fishery, petroleum and gas and mineral resources. Priority will be given to food and
agriculture, cocoa, fishery, nickel minerals and petroleum and gas.

3.3.5 Based on the consumer demand of the regional residents, adapt to the change
of consumption structure
Experience of developed countries shows that the expenditure of daily necessities such
as food, clothing and shoes is the major part when per capital GDP is between USD 1,000
and 3,000; and accordingly, labor-intensive light manufacturing industry is developed in an
all-round way.
After per capital GDP reaches USD 3,000, the expenditure share of daily necessities
descends and that of durable consumer goods increases; and accordingly, household
appliances consumption grows rapidly and durable consumer goods develop towards a
high-end level and are upgraded rapidly. There is a brisk market demand for TV sets,
refrigerators, air-conditioners, motorcycles, cameras, phones and water heaters, with
accelerated development of electronics, machine manufacturing, steel and plastics.
In 2013, per capital GDP of Indonesia was USD 3,500 dollar, and that of North Sulawesi
Province was USD 2,215; in 2012, per capital GDP of Bitung is USD 1,900 dollar.
According to the international development experience, the demand for durable consumer
goods is increasing in Indonesia. In North Sulawesi Province and Bitung, daily necessities
remain the major expenditure item and the demand for durable consumer goods is
increasing gradually.

Simply from the market behavior, the location of a factory shall choose place where have
obvious advantages to maximum profits with the lowest cost of production. As are different
industrial sectors have different production process, characteristics, input factors and
compositions of the cost of production, the leading factor of location selection is different.
According to different location orientations, industrial sectors can be roughly classified as
follows:
Page 50
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
The report will analyze the location conditions of the project from the following aspects:
Far away from the economic center, the location of the project belongs
Economy to the economic marginal area with small radiation of central cities and
poor city supporting.
Far away from the consumer market, the location of the project does not
locate in the population agglomeration region. The population size of the
Population city where the project is located is small, and the quality of labor force is
low, but the potential resource of labor force is abundant and the cost of
labor force is cheap.
Bitung City adjoins the international airline between East Asia and
Oceania and the development of the existing Bitung Port has certain
foundation. Terminals will be built in the project, which will be the
shipping portal in Eastern Indonesia with the existed foundation and
shipping location.
Transportation
At present, the expressway connecting Bitung downtown and the
provincial capital Manado is being built for the project. It will greatly
shorten the time and distance between the project site and the central
city and the Manado International Airport after completion. The
transportation location of the project has good development potential.

¾ Fish processing
In recent years, Indonesian domestic demand for fishery products has been increasing
year by year with huge consumption needs. The per capita consumption of fishery
products in the country increased from 28.57kg in 2010 to 30kg in 2011 and to 30.47kg in
2012, showing a growing consumption demand year by year. Its large population of
approximately 248 million also leads to a huge demand for fishery products.
With the globally increasing demand for fishery products, the fishing industry of
Indonesian expands gradually its oversea market. In 2013, fishery products have been
export commodity with an export value of 4.19 billion USD. The main fishing business
partners of Indonesia are American and European countries, Japan, Southeast Asian
countries, etc. It should be noted that with the increasing consumption level and the rapid
development of the food industry, China has an increasing demand for fishery products
and its import of such products from Indonesia is increasing year by year. In 2009, China
imported 149,000 tons of fishery products worth 97 million USD from Indonesia, and in
2013 it increased to 336,000 tons worth 409 million USD. The imported products include
tuna, shrimp, seaweed, crab, clam, and fish oil, etc.
It is predicted that global demand for fishery products will enjoy sustainable growth.
Particularly due to economic development of Indonesia and its neighboring countries like
China, the demand for the medium and high-end fishery products will also maintain
growth. In the future, offshore fishing and aquaculture will gain a vast market.
According to statistics from ICCO (The International Cocoa Organization), America and
Europe are the major consumers of cocoa, accounting for 2/3 of the global consumption
market. Currently, the global demand for cocoa beans is 3 million tons, and the demand
potential is still growing, with an annual growth rate of 2-4%.
Indonesia is the third largest cocoa exporter after Ivory Coast and Ghana. Most of its
cocoa is exported to the US, Singapore, Malaysia, and Brazil, etc., among which Malaysia
is the top importer. Indonesia plans to reach a production capacity of cocoa of 2.5 million
Page 58
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
tons in 2025 with an export value of about 6.25 billion USD so as to satisfy the growing
market demand. In addition, Boediono, Vice President of Indonesia, said that the
Indonesian government will make great efforts in building cocoa processing industry to
achieve the goal of being the world’s largest cocoa producer. He added that the
government will be committed to altering the export ways of cocoa. Instead of being
exported in the form of raw materials and processed in foreign countries, cocoa will be
processed domestically so to increase its added value.
Cocoa planting in Sulawesi Economic Corridor covers a total land area of 838,037
hectares, accounting for 58% of domestic cocoa planting area. There will be a broad
market for cocoa.
Page 59
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
According to statistics from Bitung Statistics Department, the output of fish products in
Sulawesi Economic Corridor reached 14.86 million tons in 2012, among which Bitung
occupied 160,000 tons worth IDR16.9 billion. As for global market competition pattern,
neighboring countries, compared with Indonesia, adopt more advanced and efficient
manufacturing technologies to process fishery products. As for domestic market
competition pattern, Sulawesi Economic Corridor is the fisheries production and
processing center of Indonesia with resource and policy advantages.
According to 2011-2015 Overall Planning for Accelerating and Expanding the Economic
Development of Indonesia, although cocoa in Sulawesi Economic Corridor has great
potential, it lost the market opportunity of an estimated production of 600, 000 tons cocoa
worth approximately USD 360 million. It means that cocoa processing in the area does not
have obvious advantages.
Lack of processing technologies of fishery products and other agricultural and sideline
products in Sulawesi is a challenge and at the same time an opportunity. In addition to the
domestic market, fishery products will be mainly oriented to the areas with higher demand
for them such as Europe and America, Japan, Southeast Asia and so on by enhancing
and extending the current industrial chain.
Processed products of agricultural products like cocoa, coffee, coconut, etc., will also be
oriented to America and Europe, and Southeast Asia.
Page 60
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Develop fishery products with features and high added value: For example, shrimp
farming with high value can be launched in the Sulawesi Economic Corridor. Selling price
of shrimp farming will be higher than that of the current major seaweed farming.
With a new round of international division of labor, Southeastern Asian countries become
the major destinations for the new round of international industrial transfer. As the
manufacturing industry status of Indonesia constantly increases, foreign investors has
been gradually enlarging their investment in Indonesia. At present, parts of traditional
manufacturing industries have been transferred to Indonesia. And daily-use and light
industrial products such as household appliances, textile, garment, etc. have occupied
more and more market shares. The scale of cotton spinning, weaving and garment
production capability is larger, and fancy yarns and garments are competitive to a certain
degree in the international markets.
Page 61
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
The textile and garment enterprises of Indonesia are mainly distributed in West Java,
especially in Bandung and Djakarta. And the garment industry in Bandung develops best
in Indonesia. According to some estimation, the annual production value of garment in
Bandung accounts for more than 40% of that in the whole nation. In recent years, due to
the increase of labor cost, parts of large-scale garment enterprises in West Java and East
Java choose to move to Yogyakarta, Central Java, etc.
According to the data of the Ministry of Industry, there exist 250 electronic products and
parts manufacturers in Indonesia. And international brands dominate the high-end digital
electronic zone. International brands establish joint venture enterprises with the local
manufacturers. The native manufacturers mainly import parts from abroad, then assemble
them in Indonesia, and finally sell them to the overseas markets. Those products include
LCD TV, air conditioners and refrigerators, etc.. By ways of the modern and traditional
retail networks to establish distribution systems, various international brands such as
Toshiba, LG Electron, Sony, Panasonic Indonesia and Samsung Indonesia have been
known in the whole Indonesia.
The brands competitions of medium and lower-end household appliances in Indonesia are
Page 62
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
rather fierce in the domestic markets, such as electric irons, electric rice cookers, gas
stoves and fans. Based on the respective core advantages, local primary household
appliance manufacturers and brands such as Maspion Group, Polytron, Denpoo Mandiri,
Sanken, Xingyu Group and Quantum have developed specific market segment strategies
and put the strategic focus on the research input, thereby having sufficient strength to
participate in the market competition. Those innovation types of household appliances
produced conform to Indonesian life-style demands and the purchasing power of mass
markets.
¾ Papermaking
At present, with the constant needs for pulp and paper in the international markets, world
timber industry is gradually transferring from North Hemisphere to the region of
Asian-Pacific so Indonesian timber industry maintains its rapid growth. Due to the unique
climate advantages, trees planted in Indonesia as the pulp raw materials can grow up
within 5~6 years. At the same time, located in the southeastern Asian market where the
pulp needs continuously increase, Indonesian pulp and paper products are superior in the
international markets. But in recent years, the export of Indonesian paper products shows
a decrease trend. The export amount of Indonesian paper products has decreased from
USD 4.2 billion in 2010 to USD 3.7 billion in 2014, with an annual increase rate of -3.2%;
and the export amount of paper products in 2014 account for 2.5% of the total export
amount of the nation, with a year-on-year decline 4.15%.
Though Indonesian industries such as textile & garments and household ware are capable
of export sales, the export volume is still less than import volume due to the tremendous
domestic demands and insufficient supply to completely meet the market demands.
For the household appliance consumption, residents have changed their needs from
originally survival types to the life styles such as furniture, TV, refrigerators and washing
machines. According to Indonesian Electronic Association, 57% of Indonesian population
possesses TV, 19% refrigerators and 5% washing machines. Only 1% of population
possesses air conditioners, and the annual need grows at a speed of 15%, with annual
average growth rate of 10% ~20%, so there is a rather great development space in the
market.
Now the paper demands in the world reached 394 million tons, and in 2020 it will rise to
490 million tons, in which the developing countries’ paper demands will have an annual
average increase of 4.1% and the developed counties will annually increase 0.5%, so the
developing counties have greater market space for paper products. In 2014, Indonesian
paper production reaches 10.70 million tons, 4.49 million tons of which is used for export,
Page 63
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
but the domestic consumption need is 7.70 million tons, so it still relies on the import to
meet the domestic consumption needs.
The household appliance development in Bitung special economic zone mainly relies on
the import substitution to meet the Indonesian domestic staple merchandise needs, and
with the scale economy enlargement and competitive power increase, it will gradually
spread to Western Asia, Africa, etc.
Textile and garment manufacturing has become a competitive industry in Indonesia, which
will not only meet the domestic daily consumption needs, but also export to those
countries with stronger consumptive power like European and American countries, and
Japan. .
For investment attraction, the Park may give priority to those enterprises with price
advantages; open up the eastern markets of Indonesia and avoid fiercely competitive
areas, and at the same time introduce the famous brand and enterprises to enlarge its
popularity and influence in the market, and to increase the competitive status in the
market.
Indonesian textile enterprises generally are faced with the aging equipment problem and
the capital problem, so the enterprises hope to update the existing aging equipment in
order to enhance the productivity. Considering the extensive range of textile industries,
advanced equipment and low price and maintenance cost in China, which are easier to be
accepted by Indonesian enterprises, Chinese textile enterprises with strength can invest
in Indonesian enterprises and become their shareholders to participate in the equipment
updating and improvement, so that both parties can complement each other’s advantages
and increase competitiveness.
Page 64
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Page 65
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Give priority to the needs of Indonesian domestic economy development and at the same
time give considerations to the overseas markets. Especially for those African countries
that are in the process of agricultural modernization and industrialization, and treat them
as the main export places.
Pay attention to the upstream and downstream industry chains, and bring in the
cluster-type development enterprises such as spare parts manufacturing and assembly in
the transportation vehicle industry.
There are over 17,500 islands in Indonesia. Shipping business is essential for the
development of its economy and 90% of its cargo transportation relies on shipping
transportation. In recent years, with the fast economic development of Indonesia, the
demand for inland shipping of industrial and agricultural products and energy resources
like coal, oil, natural gas and metal has been rocketing and bringing great opportunities for
the country’s inland shipping industry. According to the data of Indonesian National
Ship-owners’ Association, in 2005, there are 6,410 cargo ships, totaling 5.67 million DWT
in Indonesia. In 2012, the number of cargo ships reached 12,000 totaling 19 million DWT
nearly doubling when compared that of 2005. Although in face of a global economic
slowdown, the inland shipping industry maintains growth thanks to the strong domestic
demand of Indonesia. In 2013, Indonesian shipping companies increased about 600 new
cargo ships and cargo shipping has been increased by 20% from 1 trillion tons in 2012.
Money spent in buying ships has been rising, reaching USD 14 billion during 2005-2014.
Page 66
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
The Industry Department of Indonesia estimated that Indonesian demand for various
ships will reach 4,000 in the next decade.
However, Indonesia lacks technical capabilities in its domestic ship building companies
(including shipyards and dockyards), and has an urgent need in developing its
shipbuilding industry. According to the statistics of the Indonesian Ship Building
Association, the country has about 250 shipyards (including ship repairing yards). Most of
them can only build or repair cargo ships at the level of 500-1000 tons, only a few
shipyards can build or repair cargo ships lower than 5kt level. No more than 10 shipyards
and 20 ship repairing yards can deal with cargo ships above 5,000-10,000 tons level, and
only one national shipyard (PT.PAL) can build ships of 50,000 tons and repair the ships of
150,000 tons. In 2006, Indonesian shipbuilding occupied 0.17% share of the world ship
building market. Today, the country ranks 18th in world ship building industry, far behind
China (first), Korea (second), Japan (third), and other Asian countries. In 2013,
Indonesian had a ship building capability of about 900,000 DWT and repairing capability of
about 12 million DWT.

With the new government taking office and the proposal of building a maritime power,
Indonesia will further develop its marine economy including shipbuilding. Indroyono
Soesilo, Minister of the Marine Overall Planning Ministry of Indonesian said that the
Indonesian government is making fiscal and taxation and non-fiscal and taxation incentive
policies to develop its shipbuilding industry. Fiscal and taxation policies include lowering
value-added tax of the shipbuilding industry, accelerating import tax rebate process of ship
equipment and components, and conducting differential tax policies for old and new ships.
Non-fiscal and taxation policies include speeding up the process for shipyards to rent
state-owned enterprises’ land and providing ship design for shipyards. The planned
“Maritime Highway” measure to be implemented by the government also includes
establishing special funds for financing ship purchase, to amend policies regarding import
taxation, value added tax, income tax of the shipbuilding industry and related industries, to
provide more flexible bank guarantees for the industry, to raise local participation in
building new ships to 40% and so on. Through the above policies and measures, the
Page 68
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Therefore, while facing the Indonesian market, the market share is enormous, but there
are only a few companies, and the overall competition in shipbuilding and repairing
industry is not intense. Market shares can be occupied, especially by the establishment of
shipyards in the east of Indonesia.
The major shipbuilding and repairing countries in the world are China, Korea, Japan and
other East Asian countries, which are adjacent to Indonesia. Bitung should attract direct
investment of these countries based on its own shipbuilding and repairing foundation. The
Page 69
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
recent special economic zone construction can utilize foreign capitals and technologies,
lying foundations for the development of Bitung shipbuilding and repairing industry,
preempting Indonesian eastern market and eastern international routes. And with the
emerging of scale merits, the zone can be expanded and become a regional shipbuilding
and repairing base.
On the one hand, with economic development, Southeast Asia has become a global
emerging economy. Most of ASEAN countries have been committed to constructing
infrastructure, improving domestic investment environments, thereby pushing the demand
of the building materials market. According to data from ASEAN, in the first half of 2013,
steel demand of ASEAN had increased by 17% year-on-year, in which the demand of
Indonesia had increased by 35% year-on-year, reaching 7.6 million tons. As a result,
Indonesia became the country with the fastest demand increase in the area. In recent
years, Indonesia announced its new infrastructure construction plan which costs billions of
dollars, committing to building or rebuilding existing ports, dams, roads, power facilities,
airports and so on. The enormous infrastructure construction plan also fueled the increase
of the country’s home building materials demand.
On the other hand, according to international classification standard, the per capita GDP
of Indonesia has reached the level of middle income countries. The country is at the stage
of the fast development of industrialization, which will also push forward the development
of urbanization. During 1970 to 2010, Indonesia had achieved an average urban
population growth of 4.2%, doubled its urbanization and trebled its overall per capita GDP.
It surpassed India and Philippines and became one of the fastest urbanization countries in
Asia. Today, Indonesian urbanization rate is around 44%. Its urban population is estimated
to increase from the current 110 million to 200 million in 2030, with over 70% urban
population. The process of urbanization will speed up economic and urban construction,
and promote the development of home building materials market. So the demand of
Indonesian market for home building materials is huge.
Under the prospect of a huge demand in home building materials market, there is even a
more huge demand for environmental-friendly and new home building materials.
According to statistics from the Export Development Bureau, the Trade Department of
Indonesia, in 2012 Indonesian furniture export reached USD 1.41 billion, with a
year-on-year increase of 5.63%. In 2014, the figure reached USD 1.83 billion. With the
consistent recovery of furniture production including wooden, rattan, plastic and bamboo
production, and the rising demand of international market. Various furniture has become
Page 70
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
one of the superior export products for Indonesia. In addition to exporting to traditional
markets in the US, France and Japan, Indonesian furniture industry also regards China as
its key exporting target country and increase its export to China, from USD 60 million in
2012 to the planned USD 150~200 million in 2015. According to the research of CSIL, the
world furniture production reached about 422 billion dollars in 2013. Currently, the market
share of Indonesian furniture is small in the word, about 2%; while that of Chinese wooden
furniture is 30%. Indonesian Asmindo believes there is a huge potential of the increase of
its furniture industry. Under the guidance of policies the furniture industry can be
increased to USD 5 billion in the next five years and occupy 5% of world furniture market
in the next ten years. As new building materials are outperformed traditional materials in
high efficiency, environmental-friendly feature, convenience and other features, they
gradually become important building materials of urban construction. The world witnessed
a fast development of new building materials, for example, the new building materials
industry of the US maintains its fast growth, with an annual rate of 11% and its output
value will reach USD 86.6 billion in 2017. The annual building materials exhibition of
Indonesia has been drawing foreign investment. In 2014, there were 470 exhibitors, in
which 258 were from Indonesia and 212 were from China, Malaysia, Taiwan, Korea,
Japan, Singapore, Thailand, Australia, Pakistan, the United Arab Emirates and other
countries. The exhibition greatly increased the development of Indonesian building
materials industry. Main categories in the exhibition are stones (marbles granites),
potteries, household adornments, shaped bricks, steel products, nonferrous metals,
wooden products, cement, concrete, glass, plasters, sealing materials, floor boards and
blankets, wall papers and inlays, garden adornments and so on. The number of new
plastic products, new materials and the demand for them are also increasing.
The domestic furniture competitor is the competent Kalimantan economic corridor. The
competition of furniture exporting is intense, as Southeast Asian nations, China and Japan
are all the furniture exporters and occupy enormous market shares, including
competitions from domestic furniture industry. According to the tendency of new building
materials, Indonesian and even the world’s demand surpasses supply, and developing
countries in Southeast Asia just started their new building materials industry and only
occupy a few market shares. Indonesia, especially middle and east regions of Indonesia
need substantial building materials in the urbanization process which means the market is
so large that the market competition is little.
The object of home building materials is to fulfill the needed building materials in
Indonesian fast urbanization. The target market of developing home building materials in
Page 71
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Bitung special economic zone is the domestic market, especially east region of Indonesia,
and the market will gradually radiate towards oversea market.
To develop the new building materials industry, the industrial park should introduce the
companies with new materials and environment protection technologies, follow the trend
of the world’s new building materials development, orientate towards Indonesian
urbanization construction, avoid competition with traditional materials companies before
the maturity of Indonesian new building materials industry, speed up to new segment
markets and gradually expand its market shares. The furniture industry should avoid
competition with East and Southeast Asian regions, implement differentiated development
strategies, and utilize local advantageous resources like rattan furniture to occupy the
market. The special furniture can be exported to East Asian regions, which have
enormous markets.
Bitung plans to develop an industrial park to introduce industries and boost the economic
development, but it is faced with the complex competition pattern due to that their
advantageous conditions are not so prominent.
On the one hand, the production factors such as resources, capital, technologies and
talents in Indonesia are highly centralized in the western area like Djakarta and so on,
which are stronger in resource competition than the eastern area, thereby capable of
holding back market shares of domestic and foreign investment. Under the more effective
and mature conditions, the Bitung industrial park has more difficulty in inviting investment
than the western area.
On the other hand, from the same level, the Industry Department of Indonesia
concentrates on developing 13 industrial parks, of which 7 are in the eastern area of
Indonesia, to attract the investment at home and abroad and promote the balanced
development of different regions in Indonesia. Although different industries have different
work division, most countries have the similar resource isomorphism and preferential
policies, thereby broadening the competition between industries. The Industry Department
of Indonesia said that the construction of industrial parks depends on the local advantages
of resources to make distinctive upstream and downstream industrial chains and take the
sustainable development path. The 13 industrial parks are the Teluk Bintuni industrial park
in West Papua, which prioritizes petrochemical industry, the Halmahera Timur industrial
park in North Maluku, which prioritizes nickel smelting industry, the Bitung industrial park
Page 72
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
in North Sulawesi, the Palu industrial park and the Morowali industrial park in Middle
Sulawesi and the Konawe industrial park in East Sulawesi, the Bantaeng industrial park in
South Sulawesi, the Batu Licin industrial park in South Kalimantan, the Ketapan and the
Landak industrial park in West Kalimantan, the Kuala Tanjung and the Sei Mangke
industrial park in North Sumatra Utara and the Tanggamus industrial park in Lampung.
The Palu industrial park in Middle Sulawesi, the Bitung industrial park in North Sulawesi,
the Morotai industrial park in North Maluku, located in the east of Indonesia, are special
economic zones, aiming at promoting the economic development of eastern Indonesia.
Besides, the main purpose for Indonesia to set up eight special economic zones is to
explore the way to economic development by tests with the special support given by the
government. At present, the special economic zones are too many in Indonesia, which
have decentralized the rare policy resources. Without any special advantage, Bitung will
have more pressure of competition. Moreover, the Morota special economic zone and the
Palu special economic zone, having the similar industrial development positioning with
Bitung special economic zone, are the direct competitors of this project.
Page 73
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
For the fact that the development environment in the area where Bitung industrial park is
located do not have favorable advantages and are faced with lots of competitors in the
market, so when the park is considering the objective of market development, it needs to
highlight its own advantages, plan and integrate the existing industrial base, precisely
bring its advantages into full play and positively foster competitiveness.
Meanwhile, Bitung should positively seek for the policy support of the country to strive for
the preferential policy given by the country and districts in the industrial development of
the park, to preferentially protect the industrial development of special economic zones in
the market competition, and to oppose the suppression of industrial development given by
the monopolized industry in the market.
Bitung should adhere to sustainable development and guide the park to bring in industries
step by step, according to the industrial development planning and industrial development
guidance catalog. It is also important to build up a system for evaluating and analyzing the
feasibility of the introduced industries and the market prospect, to take effective measures
Page 74
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
to avoid or reduce the waste of resources and environment pollution, and to promote
sustainable development of the economic society.
According to the analysis for industrial selection of Bitung, it could develop food
processing industries, daily-use and light industrial product manufacturing,
electromechanical hardware manufacturing, shipbuilding and home building materials
manufacturing. However, considering the current development conditions, Bitung do not
have the base and environment to develop all the industries at the beginning. According to
its advantages, considering the trend of regional development and conditions of
international industrial transfer, in the starting period of investment attraction, Bitung may
give priority to food processing industries, home building material industries and
shipbuilding industries and lay emphasis on the extension of upstream and downstream
industrial chains in the process of introducing industries to facilitate the formation of
industrial clusters and to enhance competitiveness.
(1) Overall park. The aggregate investment of industries selected by Bitung Industrial
Park involved in the whole Indonesia is 19.496 billion US dollars and the domestic
and foreign capital investment of North Sulawesi (the same below) accounts for
0.26% of that of the nation, which can measure the amount invested in the industries
selected by Bitung Industrial Park.
Figure 4-6 Domestic and foreign capital investment situation in Indonesia in 2014
Page 75
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
In consideration of Bitung as the special economic zone which will undertake the mission
of prospering East Indonesia, it can be assumed that the amount invested in the future will
not only account for more than half of the total investment of North Sulawesi but also the
state investment in the future will also be inclined to double and even redouble,
approximately accounting for 0.35% of the state total amount, according to the
development experiences of such economic zones of China from 1980 to 2000 as
Shenzhen (with the growth rate of 35.7% and the amount accounting for 1.56%
nationally), Zhuhai (with the growth rate of 29% and the amount accounting for 0.37%
nationally) and Xiamen (with the growth rate of 28% and the amount accounting for 0.56%
nationally).
On the basis of the investment growth trend of Indonesia in recent years (16.2% in 2014
and 15% of growth per year in the future assumed), it can be estimated that Bitung’s
annual investment growth rate will be slightly higher and if the park is completed in
development within 2025, the investment of the whole park can be estimated to be 32
billion US dollars.
The “input” in the “input-output ratio” used in the research means the total static
investment volume of the project; “output” means the summation of the all-year added
values within the total service life of the project. The equation is: R=K/IN=I/N. In the
equation, K is the aggregate investment; IN is the summation of all-year added values
within the service life of the project; for N=IN/K, if the value of N is bigger and the project
economics will be better. In combination with the industries planned and developed in the
park, it can be estimated that the basic input-output ratio is from 1:25 to 1:3. Therefore,
the total industrial output value produced per year will be 8-9.6 billion USD. It is about
1.6-2.0 billion USD in GDP after all industries are put into production in the future.
The Gross regional production to be created by Bitung Industrial Park can be estimated
with the reference of the GDP output rate of unit area of land in other relevant regions.
The average output rate of Dongguan (Shaoguan) Industrial Transfer Park GDP of is
about 84 million USD per square kilometers. The output rate of Fenggang, Dongguan
Page 76
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
The cases selected are from world factory—Dongguan, China whose development phase
and industrial characteristics has more similarities with this project’s future development
directions and reference significance. In the report, in consideration of Bitung’s
development conditions and the future industrial characteristics of the industrial park, the
GDP output rate of Bitung Industrial Park can be estimated to be the average of the cases
above, namely 70-75 million USD per square kilometers.
Bitung Industrial Park is about 20km2 totally, so it can be a preliminarily rough estimate
that the GDP output of the whole park will be 1.4-1.5 billion USD.
With the integration of the land use planning of the project, the construction sequence of
relevant industries and other factors, the recent park land area is 0.91km2 and it can be
preliminarily and roughly estimated that the production GDP of the starting area will be
64-68 million US dollars.

¾ Prediction of domestic trade container throughput of the hinterland
In recent years, the container throughput of Bitung Port shows a stable growth trend. It
increases to 0.2 million TEU in 2014 from 0.13 million TEU in 2008, at an average growth
rate of 6.6% and a stable growth speed. Considering that the container throughput of
Bitung Port is from domestic trade mainly, combining with the growth speed of the
container throughput of Bitung Port, as well as the economic development in eastern
Indonesia will drive the growth of domestic trade container throughput of the hinterland. It
is estimated that the domestic trade container throughput of the hinterland in 2020 and in
2035 will be respectively 13% and 9%, namely that the domestic trade container
throughput of the hinterland in 2020 and in 2035 is respectively 0.38 million TEU and 1.1
million TEU.

In view of the close relations between the container production in this part and the
production value and density of freight generation (namely the cargo tonnage generated
by unit GDP) in the park, this report will forecast the container production of the industrial
park based on the forecasting of the future total output value and with the reference of the
density of freight generation of relevant regions.
The special economic zone is about 20 km2 totally with the GDP of about 1.5-1.75 billion
US dollars, namely industry output of 7.5-9.0 billion US dollars. In comprehensive
consideration of such factors as the land use planning of the project and construction
Page 83
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
sequence of relevant industries, it can be estimated that the developed area of the park in
2020 and 2035 will be 1km2 and 15km2 respectively and it can be a preliminarily rough
estimate that industry output of the park in 2020 and 2035 will be 0.4 and 6 billion US
dollars respectively.
The density of freight generation has a close relation with regional economic overall level
and industrial structure. The density of freight generation may generally show a downward
trend with the increase of the economic level; on the other hand, the density of freight
generation is closely related with the industrial structure, so the density of freight
generation is high in the heavy industry areas and low in the areas with light industrial
structure and developed high-and-new technology.
The project will primarily develop food processing and manufacturing industries, including
manufacturing of daily-use and light industrial products, such as spinning, leather
footwear, household appliances, electromechanical hardware manufacturing and home
building materials, with light manufacturing as the principal. It can be estimated that the
overall level of its density of freight generation will be about 10t/ten thousand US dollars;
with further abundance and aggregation of the park industries in the future, its density of
freight generation will show an uptrend gradually and can estimated to be 12t/ten
thousand US dollars in 2035.
Based on the correlation between economic growth and volume of transport and in
consideration of the influence of industrial structure on transportation intensity, it can be
estimated that the volume of freight of the park in 2020 and 2035 will be 0.4 million tons
and 7.2 million tons respectively. With the container cargo as 30% of the volume of freight
as per the transport form of industrial raw materials and products of the industries possibly
entered in the park, that in 2020 and 2035 will be 0.12 million tons and 2.1 million tons and
with the calculation of the average container weight of 10t/TEU and in combination with
the empty container proportion and container transportation demand of the hinterland, the
container production of the park will be 21,800 TEU and 0.3 million TEU.
The raw material of the park is introduced mainly by water transportation. The products
are most for domestic and foreign markets of Indonesia which is an island country, so
water transportation is the primary mode of transportation. It can be estimated that the
container water transportation demand for the park will account for 85% of the production,
respectively 20,000 TEU in 2020 and 0.25 million TEU in 2035.

With the business development of the port and the economic development of the
hinterland in the long term, the port will provide the comprehensive transportation service
for hinterland market at the same time when it will serve the industrial park and the
international transit transportation service will be developed based on the navigation
position advantage. The container production of international water-water transfer can be
estimated to be 0.15 million TEU in 2035.
In conclusion, it can be estimated that the throughput of this project in 2020 and 2035 will
be 0.25 million TEU and 1.0 million TEU respectively, details shown as below:

Page 85
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
cargo throughput is the need for outward transport of household building materials in the
Park and the transportation of household and productive building materials in the
hinterland market.
By overall analysis of the growth of general cargo throughput of Bitung Port from 2011 to
2014, the overall growth was presented in relatively fast growth state. In 2014, the general
cargo throughput of Bitung Port is 0.773 million tons, accounting for about 43.1% of cargo
throughput. From 2011 to 2014, the average annual growth rate was kept at 24.5%, which
was relatively fast.

The gross construction area of the Park is 388.7 hectares. The construction of warehouse,
workshop, office building and apartment will need a certain amount of building materials,
which will be transferred by water transportation to meet the market demand. In addition,
there are household building materials in the Park whose products include new building
materials, and part of the products will be outward transported by water transportation.
The predicted throughput of the recent general cargo is 0.35 million tons per year.

Indonesia is dedicated to develop the infrastructure construction. The preparation plan for
new infrastructure construction proposed by Indonesia in 2013 will cost over $ 33 billion
and will increase the demand of building material market of Indonesia. On the other hand,
Indonesia is going through the acceleration of urbanization with the short-term
urbanization rate of 44%, which will enlarge the market demand for building materials.
With the development of the infrastructure construction and urbanization in the hinterland
market in the long term, a certain amount of building materials will be needed.
On the basis of meeting the demand of the outward transport of household building
materials in the Park, the wharf of the Project will undertake a part of the building material
transportation in the hinterland market. The predicted throughput of the long-term general
cargo is 0.45 million tons per year.

The recent bulk cargo of wharf is the coal for the operation of park power plant, while
long-term bulk cargos include the coal for the park power plant and paper plant.
According to the planning of the park, the coal power plants will be built to provide power
for the park. Among them, the coal demand of the recently constructed 2x80MW coal-fired
units is 0.35 million tons per year. All coals required by the power plant will be handled in
the wharf of this project, so the bulk cargo throughput of the wharf will be 0.35 million tons
per year at that time.
According to the planning of the park, two 2x80MW coal-fired units will be constructed in
long-term coal power plants with the coal demand of 1.4 million tons per year. All coals
required by the power plant will be handled in the wharf of this project
The predicted production of bulk cargo of long-term wharf i will be 2 million tons per year.

Since the layer of loose sand, the main method of ground treatment can be dynamic
compaction and deep vibro-compaction (or vibro-compozer with sand pile).
By contrast : The vibro-compozer with sand pile will cost highly , not economic;
The dynamic compaction will make a large impact load, which will influent the slope
stability and hydraulic structure , and the depth that need treated for this project is
generally larger than 15m, the dynamic compaction will be not suitable for this condition;
The Vibroflotation method is reinforcing effect on deep sand, and less influence on slope
stability and hydraulic structure.
To sum up, the vibroflotation method is recommended for the foundation treatment.

the plan implemented in the planning area, combining recycling economy development
ideas.
Main environmental factors in the assessed region include those resulted from newly
implemented development activities and in a word, they are typical environment problems
resulted from urbanization and industrialization processes.
After the plan implemented, waste water is from constructors’ sanitary sewage in
development process and industrial wastewater in work progress, which includes running,
emitting, dropping and leaking of sump oil of construction machinery, waste water
generated when outdoor machinery is washed by rainwater, pollutants generated when
building materials and garbage in air storage are washed or eluviated by rainwater and
polluted surface runoff formed when rainwater washes the ground. The waster will have a
negative effect on water environment around if mishandled.
Factors that cause atmospheric pollution in development process mainly are raise dust of
construction, tail gas from transport vehicles and construction machinery and exhaust gas
from shelters. Dusts of construction operations and tail gas from vehicles have a certain
effect on air quality of environment around construction sites, and especially in
construction peak, dusts and floating dust are hard to diffuse in a short time so part of
atmosphere can be polluted. The influence scope is small and the influence time is short
and the influence disappears automatically when construction finished. But construction
spoils need to be disposed in time and construction sites needs to be cleared in order not
to cause long-term impact.
Page 100
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Effects development process has on sound environment are mainly from traffic noise
generated by transport vehicles and construction noise generated by construction
machinery, which have a certain effect on housing estates around construction region.
Therefore, in development process, construction time and procedures need to be
arranged reasonably and low noise equipment needs to be applied in order to reduce
effects of construction noise.
The current landscape in the planning area is mainly ecological one such as developed
urban built-up area and other water area and plowland. After the planning area is built up,
partial region will turn into industrial estate. The big change takes place in ecological
landscape.
After the completion of the construction of the planning area, the water environmental
impact in the operational period consists of two aspects: one is the impact on water
environment from the industrial waste water discharge in the planning area while the other
is the possible impact on water environment from domestic waste water discharge caused
by the increase in population.
After the completion of the construction of the planning area, atmospheric environmental
impact factors in the operational period mainly consist of industrial waste gas, waste gas
from coal-fired heat-supply boiler (SO2, NO2 and smoke, etc.), automobile exhaust (NOX,
CO, PM 10, etc.) and domestic gas exhaust and so on.
Page 101
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
After the completion of the construction of the planning area, the solid waste includes
industrial solid waste and domestic waste, most of which will be utilized comprehensively
in circulation. Solid waste needs to be disposed in time to prevent pollution of environment
or destruction of landscape. There may be some hazardous solid waste among the
industrial solid waste.
① Massive energy flows and material flows formed in the planning area
⑦ The habitats of aquatic creatures in local waters affected by industrial waste water.
① After the completion of the construction of the planning area, it will increase
employment and promote industrialization and urbanization.
② The level of the social and economic development and the overall strength in the
planning area will be improved
The level of property and of sustainable development in the planning area will be raised.
Page 102
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
Energy consumption is the main factor that leads to atmospheric pollution. Energy
utilization pattern has a direct impact on the air pollutant discharge and then on
atmospheric environmental quality. In the perspective to improve atmospheric
environmental quality, to promote and develop clean industrial energy and to develop on
the basis of electrification, aerification and fuelization are important measures to been
taken to control atmospheric pollution and protect environment.
In order to protect the atmospheric environment in the industrial park, it is suggest that
clean oil or other cleaner energy should be introduced as the auxiliary energy in the
planning area as much as possible and that the use of severe pollutive fuels such as coal
should be restrictively limited so as to reduce atmospheric pollution.
Among the air pollution suspends a large amount of particulate matter, which will reduce
atmospheric environmental quality. Therefore, much importance should be attached on
reduction of particulate matter discharge. Many technologies and methods can be applied
to control particulate matter discharge. At present, the commonly used equipment
includes gravity settling device, washery dust remover, filtration dust remover, cyclone
dust collector, electrostatic dust remover and sound wave dust remover. If economic
capability allowed, multistage combination may be formed by introducing different dust
removers in order to reach optimum dust-removal efficiency. Gaseous pollutant may be
controlled by introducing methods such as combustion, assimilation, absorption and
reclamation. The concrete measures to introduce should be confirmed in accordance with
nature of contaminant and economic capability.
3) Plant purification
The green plant, in addition to beautifying the environment, adjusting air temperature,
humidity and urban micro-climate, is the factory to absorb CO2 and produce O2, and has
multiple functions to absorb harmful gas, dust, to sterilize, to reduce noise and to monitor
atmospheric pollution.
4) Cleaner production
Page 103
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
the industry.
In order to control the total amount of primary pollution source, measures as following
should be taken:
② to control the concentration and rate of pollutant discharge in chimney and to take
reasonably advantage of atmospheric environmental capacity.
Mainly include control measures of construction dust emission, other dust emission
control, control measures of lampblack, control of automotive exhaust and control
measures of stench of sewage disposal plant.
The water environment in the industrial park is an important part of ecological landscape.
All industrial waste water and domestic waste water should be treated with COD to reach
the emission standard of surface water. Water environmental protection measures
include:
The enterprises that are about to enter the park should attach importance on development
of non-water or less-water industry and technology, and of recycle-used water technology,
multiple-used water technology and reclaimed water technology. The consumption of
fresh water of each enterprise should reach the advanced level among domestic industry.
Water-saving measures as following should be taken:
Page 104
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
2) To introduce appropriate projects into the park and to promote leaner production
technology.
Considering the state of pollution discharge, industrial pollution is the uppermost pollutant
resource. The foothold of industrial pollution prevention and treatment should be
transferred from end treatment which focuses on purification to head control which
focuses on prevention. To introduce appropriate projects in accordance with state
industrial policies. To positively develop high-tech industry which is of little harm to water
environment and low water consumption. To rely on technological support, improve
production technology, and fulfill water-saving and pollution-reduction.
In order to control the total discharge amount of main pollutant, measures as following
should be taken:
② In the annual plan of environmental protection, the target to the decline rate of
discharge capacity per 10,000 RMB industrial output should be issued to major
pollution source in order to reinforce them to take prevention measures and to
reduce the discharge amount of main pollutant.
Mainly include to refuse to introduce those enterprises that would produce the first
category of contaminant, to strengthen water pollution control; to standardize the
management on effluent segregation system and sewage discharge system; to control the
overland runoff in the developing area; to strictly implement “three - simultaneity” and
install on-line supervision system; to centrally treat waste water; to avoid as possible
accidental waste water discharge, and so on.
As for all the solid waste in the planning area, on the premise of cyclic utilization, the
unavailable waste should be treated at 100%.
The treatment project: three solid waste disposal systems including waste collection
system, waste transport system and waste disposal system should be implemented and
gradually improved in the planning area. The whole process of solid waste from
Page 105
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
production to harmless treatment in the planning area should be controlled for the purpose
that no environmental pollution is to be produced in the process and that the planning
target of solid waste disposal is to be implemented.
The waste should be collected at gathered places and centrally harmlessly treated
All waste in the planning area should be bagged by classification, and each enterprise
should arrange specific domestic waste site and implement regular sterilization and
disinfection. The management and service center shall arrange appropriate amount of
dustbin in densely inhabited areas as needed and arrange some waste collecting centers
to centrally collect commercial waste and domestic waste.
It is strictly forbidden to pile up and diffuse hazardous waste. And the volume of
hazardous solid waste should be reduced as much as possible. The enterprises
producing hazardous waste should take measures to prevent expansion, run-off and
leakage in the temporary disposal site. The specialized persons are needed to separately
collect and store the waste.
3) Treatment project
Page 106
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
General industrial solid waste should be treated at waste sanitary landfill site after weight
reduction treatment, remnant treatment and harmless treatment.
Measures such as weight reduction treatment, remnant treatment and harmless treatment
should be taken.
Poisonous and harmful solid waste, with great hazard and difficulty in recycling, should be
treated as the key point of solid waste control. Management on poisonous and harmful
solid waste should be strengthened. The systems of poisonous and harmful solid waste
discharge declaration and of pollution charges should be thoroughly implemented.
Traceable accounts and formalities should be produced in processes of waste generation,
use, collection, transportation, storage and disposal and should be supervised and
managed by environmental protection administration. Hazardous waste should be stored
in accordance with relevant regulations. Specific storage site should be arranged.
Measures for to prevention of expansion, run-off and leakage should be taken. It is strictly
forbidden to pile up hazardous waste with non-harmful solid waste.
Hazardous waste, after being pre-treated by enterprises in the planning area, should be
collected by qualified institutions with License for Hazardous Waste and be transported to
poisonous and harmful solid waste disposal center by specific transport tools and be
treated by secure landfill or incineration disposal. Medical waste, as one of hazardous
wastes, should be centrally collected and treated at poisonous and harmful solid waste
disposal center.
② Put up an “Advance Notice” in the residential area near the construction site to
explain reasons and make an apology for understanding.
⑤ For fixed equipment with higher noise value, sound insulation or barrier shall be
constructed.
Page 107
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
⑥ Construction equipment with strong noise are prohibited to be used before 6 a.m.,
during 12 to 14 at noon, and after 10 p.m.
It is recommended for industrial enterprises in planning area to actively take noise control
measures form the aspects of sound absorption, sound insulation, sound elimination and
vibration reduction.
① Equipment selection
Select good-quality and low-noise production equipment to reduce noise source intensity.
② Sound absorption
Porous sound absorbing materials (or structures) of absorption decoration are lined or
hung in the plant. When sound wave sends to the surface of sound absorbing materials, it
will enter into the hole smoothly to generate vibration of the air and material fine fiber in
the hole. The sound energy will be converted to heat energy by friction and viscosity
resistance and be consumed. In this way the noise of the plant will be reduced. The
common sound absorbing materials are organic cotton, mineral cotton, cotton wool, cane
fiber board, foamed plastic, micro-pore acoustic tile, etc. The noise reduction of sound
absorption measure normally is 4 ~ 10dB.
③ Sound insulation
Sound insulation means cutting off the noise transmission path by using sound insulation
materials or components to prevent it from entering into noise-receiving area, which
reduces the noise in noise-receiving area. Sound insulation is one of the important
measures of noise control. The common sound insulation forms are acoustic room,
acoustic enclosure, acoustic shielding, etc.
④ Sound elimination
⑤ Vibration reduction
After the vibration generated by the equipment operation is transmitted to the base, it will
be spread all around along the building structure from the equipment base and generates
noise.
The basic approach for vibration reduction is avoiding rigid connection. For example, the
Page 108
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
noise generated by the equipment vibration can be reduced by installing spring or rubber
shock absorber between equipment and base for eliminating the rigid connection between
them. Eliminate the rigid connection among pipelines can reduce the noise transmission
along the pipeline. For examples, the canvas joint connection between inlet/outlet of
draught fan and air ducts and the flexible synthetic rubber joint connection between
inlet/outlet of water pump and pipeline can reduce the noise transmission along the
pipeline. Moreover, take corresponding measures at the elevator and through-wall points
of pipelines such as air ducts and water pipes to prevent the vibration transmission along
the pipeline.
Driving motor vehicles shall be equipped with eligible horns. The noise of whole vehicle
shall not over the vehicle noise emission standards. Strictly control tractor’s transportation
operation in the park. The installation and usage of alarm sirens of special vehicles such
as fire engines and engineering rescue vehicles shall comply with the regulations of public
security bureau. When performing any urgent task or in the sections where prohibit using
alarm sirens, the vehicles shall not use alarm sirens. The vehicles shall control the volume
when use loudspeaker at transport hub such as station to reduce the noise influence on
surroundings. Do road greening to reduce traffic noise by the scattering and absorption
function of greenbelt and to reach the purpose of blocking out and reducing noise.
High power loudspeakers are prohibited in public area. The volume of required sound
system shall be controlled to reduce or eliminate its effect on environment, to avoid the
situation of noise interfering with normal work environment and to reduce its influence
degree on surrounding acoustic environment sensitive spots.

The most important market risk for this project is whether the market can satisfy the
investment returns. Bitung is in the economic margin of Indonesia with limited resources
and insufficient population and labors; Sulawesi’s contributions to the nation’s economy is
less than 5% with instable regional development basis, so it has no competitive advantage
in attracting external production factors and certain difficult in industry introduction. A part
of industries in the industrial park are for East Indonesia market with small market
demands. Meanwhile, Bitung’s market competitiveness is not prominent, so its market
share is hard to reach to the ideal status. Indonesia established 8 special economic zones
and 13 industrial parks. Many resources are separated invisibly during Indonesia’s rapid
development, which causes an obstacle to form joint forces to promote the development
of some special economic zone or industrial park. Special Economic Zone Morota and
Palu with relatively short distance have some similarities with Bitung in the position of
industrial development and are the direct rivals in the industrial park of this project.
Interest rate risk means the risk of possible loss due to the reduced project value or
income, directly or indirectly, caused by interest rate changes during the operation of the
project.
Exchange rate risk means the risk of the loss for project benefits, directly or indirectly
caused by the exchange rate fluctuations during the operation of the project.
Exchange risk means the risk of free convertibility of the project nation currency and free
remittance of project benefits. Generally, the investors hope to remit the project benefits in
domestic currency form or hard currency form and the lending bank also want to repay the
loan by the same currency with the loan.
In recent years, the average exchange rate of IDR to USD has dropped consistently while
the exchange rate of USD to RMB has also declined continuously. Such kind of financial
environment is badly unfavorable for the overseas project invested domestically.

Inflation shows in the economic life of various nations and in contrast, the inflation rate is
much lower in developed countries than developing countries.
Investment has the stable price and invariable monetary value as the precondition and
foundation; however, the inflation can cause the rises in prices and then the investment
cost of the project will increase by different rates and finally the benefits will be influenced.
In accordance with the current inflation in Indonesia domestically, there will be some
certain inflation risks within the years of the construction and operation for the investment
of the project.

Indonesia implements the multi-party system. Currently, Indonesia has numerous parties
and complex political interests. The election often ends with concession, usually jointly
holding power by multi-party. In the general election in 2014, Joko Widodo was elected
president. The Democratic Party of Struggle he represents consists of persons split off
from the original Indonesia Democratic Party and also is the representative of Indonesia’s
secular political power. The governing theories of all parties aren’t exactly in conformance,
which causes certain risks for the policy continuity and political stability.
Indonesia is in tropical zone with the climatic environment easy to show such natural
disasters as heavy rainfall and mud-rock flow under the influence of tropical anticyclone.
Serious flood is the greatest natural environmental risk for this project. Bitung’s climate
can be divided into rainy season (from October to April of next year), prevailing west wind
and northwest wind, and dry season (from May to September), prevailing east wind. The
rainfall reaches the most from January to March with the rainfall more than 2,800mm
within 26-day rainfall per month averagely, causing many floods and influencing the
production and life.
There are still some social risks for the investments in Indonesia currently. On one hand,
since China and Indonesia reestablished diplomatic relations, the bilateral relation has a
generally healthy and stable development and both political mutual trusts are
strengthened consistently with reciprocal visits and contacts of both leaders, but
meanwhile, a few large-scale Chinese exclusion events, in which the latest one in 1998
caused thousands of Chinese being killed, once happened. At present, Indonesia still
insists on placing a part area in southwest of South China Sea into its “Natuna Sea”, so
the Chinese exclusion event incited by some Indonesia’s nationalism sentiments is also a
problem.
On the other hand, Indonesia, as the biggest muslim country globally, has some
Page 130

religionary extremists and terrorists which are not large in number but are strict in
organization and relatively strong in destructive power. Currently, Indonesia is the biggest
source of foreign combatants of “Nation of Islam”. Since the 21st century, Indonesia has
suffered from successive terrorist attacks. Terrorist bomb occurred in Bali in October
2002, in Marriott Hotel in Djakarta in August 2003 and at the gate of the Embassy of
Australia in Indonesia in September 2004 and the terrorist attack occurred in Djakarta in
July 2009, etc. Some countries, such as America and Australia, give a safety precaution to
their citizens going to Indonesia to remind them to enhance their vigilance in Indonesia.
This project mainly involves in a new area of about 2,000ha in Special Economic Zone
Bitung and North Minahasa and newly-constructed port area. The overseas waterborne
transportation industry has flourished in recent years with rich and mature design and
construction experience but the basic facilities in this area are relatively backward, data
for natural conditions is insufficient, such base materials as terrain, geology and hydrology
in this phase are not enough and the supporting water and electricity are undefined, so
there is a certain engineering technology risk.

10.1 Conclusions
(1) The leading industry and industrial system of the SEZ are put forward by analyzing
the appropriateness of the industry in the Park and the development status and
industrial development direction of industries in Bitung city, and combining the
location feature of the Project. A comprehensive industrial system includes leading
industries, auxiliary industries and basic industries. The leading industries include
food processing industry, household light-manufacturing, furniture and building
material industry as well as port logistics industry which is the supplementation of
front port. It develops the port comprehensive service system with all features of
logistics industry chain and integrates the development of storage, packing, free
trade, processing, marketing, wholesale, exhibition, shipping exchange and
information management which involve in the function of several links. The auxiliary
industries refer to the industry supporting the development of the leading industry,
including hardware mechanical and electrical manufacturing and shipbuilding
industry. The basic industries mean the industry providing basic service for
enterprises and staff so as to maintain the operation of the Park, including providing
such basic services as park management, catering and retailing.
(2) It analyzes the main industries of the SEZ from four aspects with market potential
and development trend, target market, competition pattern and market strategy,
comprehensively analyzes the market of the Special Economic Zone and then puts
forward reasonable construction scale. The total developed area of the SEZ is about
2,000 hectares, 3 supporting terminals for the container of 50,000 DWT and 1
multi-purpose terminal for the container of 50,000 DWT. The prediction throughput of
the recent is 250,000 TEU for container , 350,000 tons for general cargo and
350,000 tons for bulk cargo per year.; in the long-term stage, the throughput will be
1,000,000 TEU for container , 450,000 tons for general cargo and 2,000,000 tons for
bulk cargo per year..
(3) It puts forward economical and reasonable technical schemes on engineering for
general layout, marine structure, process equipment, ground treatment and road
,and works out environmental protection measures for water, air, noise and solid
waste by analyzing the environmental factors at such three stages as planning,
developing and operation. The total investment cost is 4,100,000,000 dollars.
(4) The development mode of the special economic zone includes two parts including
Park and Port. The former’s land is provided by the Indonesian government for free
Page 133
Special Economic Zone Bitung and North Minahasa, North Sulawesi Feasibility Study
and invested and built by CCCC. The latter is invested and built by CCCC and the
North Sulawesi Government. CCCC will assume the purchase cost for port
equipment and cost for port operation; and North Sulawesi government shall be liable
for financing of the main civil work of the new port.
CCCC will undertake the engineering construction of the SEZ with EPC model.
CCCC will independently develop and operate the SEZ. The “SOT” mode will apply
to the part of the Port. CCCC gets the right of management as well as corresponding
operating revenue of the Port by paying concession fee to the North Sulawesi
Government. Upon the expiration of the concession, CCCC will transfer the
ownership of the Port to the North Sulawesi Government for free or renew the
contract. However, the North Sulawesi Government will annually collect concession
fee from CCCC so as to recover capital and get part of the profits from the
investment in the Project.
(5) According to accounting calculation, under the fixed concession fee of the port, its
investment profitability can meet the reference value of the financial evaluation index
for the general overseas investment project, and have the debt paying ability and
financial viability. In the event that the investment profitability of the Park is lower
than reference value of the financial evaluation index for the overseas investment
project and lower than the industrial reference value, investment profitability and
have the debt paying ability and financial viability under the situation of making up
funding gap. It is suggested to get the support from the local government from the
following aspects so as to improve the income level of the Project:
¾ Reduce the concession fee of the new port, to increase the fee for the Park;
Moreover, the starting area needs a long cultivation time, so it can be built in the mode of
small-scale progressive development. Reduce the income at the initial stage to increase
the revenue of the Project and relieve stress of repayment of principle and interest.
(6) It puts forward feasible and practical countermeasures through the analysis on such
risk factors as politic, market, finance, natural and social environment and
engineering technologies.
10.2 Recommendations
(1) The feasibility study report will be improved according to the suggestion and
