Genting Cruise Lines, the Genting Hong Kong subsidiary that operates Star Cruises, Dream Cruises and Crystal Cruises, has signed a new Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s state-owned terminal operator PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III.
The MoU will see Genting and PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III work together to develop facilities at Bali’s Celukan Bawang port in order to allow ships measuring up to 350 meters in length to dock directly. They will also explore opportunities to jointly develop other cruise ports under PT Pelabuhan Indonesia III’s operation.
“At Genting Cruise Lines, we remain highly committed to the development of Indonesia as a key cruise hub for the region, as well as an important source market and destination for the tourism industry,” said Genting Cruise Lines President Kent Zhu.
“We recognize the need for updated cruise infrastructure in the area and have actively taken the lead in pioneering improvements to port facilities in order to ensure the future growth of the cruise business.
“We will continue to work closely with our Indonesian counterparts in creating new opportunities for the local cruise tourism to flourish as evidenced by the successful deployments of our ships to Jakarta, Medan, North Bali and Bintan Island recently, complemented by a series of ongoing collaborations to develop additional ports across Indonesia.”
