Port of Kota Baru

Kotabaru’s maritime activity serves the northern part of Pulau Laut, where water transport links the island with surrounding coastal communities. The port name covers a local shipping area with several facilities, rather than one uniform terminal.

The town’s Panjang harbour is identified by the local transport authority as a traditional port. Passenger movements there include journeys towards Tanjung Samalantakan and Bakau, reflecting its role in everyday connections around the coast. Pelindo separately lists the Stagen passenger terminal in the Kotabaru area.

These waterfront locations serve different parts of the local transport network. The departure harbour matters for passengers and cargo handlers alike, because the general Kotabaru name can refer to facilities at different points along the island’s shoreline.
