NEA transport research and training is an independent organization that carries out innovative research, provides advice, organizes training courses and develops strategies in the fields of transport, infrastructure, logistics and traffic. Currently NEA is undertaking multiple projects within Indonesia; this research will strive to contribute to the project in port Tanjung Priok, Jakarta.
The hinterland of the port of Tanjung Priok is heavily congested, these congestion issues are causing the port of Tanjung Priok to stagnate. The opportunities in optimizing the use of the existing infrastructure are to be investigated.
Personnal background and motivation:
My name is Vincent Hinssen, I’m a twenty-five year old student at the university of applied sciences in Breda specialization international logistics and economics. My interest in international logistics was triggered by my work experiences in Malawi, where I noticed the significance and crucial role of logistics within societies. Eventually that lead me to a job within the logistic department of ExxonMobil in Budapest where I got in touch with logistics for the first time.
After some years of field experience I decided to go back to study within the Netherlands at the international logistics and economics program at the University of applied sciences in Breda. The cooperation and experiences with the other international students raised my interest in the Asiatic region and cultures. Therefore I decided to aim for an internship within this specific region preferably within the field of physical distribution/Intermodal transport. The type of assignments offered by NEA in combination with the huge knowledge within the organization of NEA was exactly what I was looking for.
Objective of the internship:
The aim of this research is to come up with several proposals for the improvement of the hinterland connections of port of Tanjung Priok, in order elevate the performance of port Tanjung Priok. The project scope restricts an expansion of the infrastructure. Therefore the congestion issue is to be resolved by optimizing the use of the available hinterland connections, storage facilities and analysing the inbound and outbound flows.
