As the gateway, hence Tanjung Perak have become the center collector
and goods distributor to east Indonesia area especially for East
Java province.

hinterland area the potential East Java is Tanjung Perak harbor
that also as the center sea transport of east Indonesi. Ahead,
Ocean ships unload and load its goods through lighters and boats,
which can reach Jembatan Merah (the first port by then) that reside
in Surabaya city through Kalimas River. Because the development

plan of Tanjung Perak harbor in order to give the opportunity
to the ocean ships to unload and load directly without lighters
and boats help. However this plan is then refused because the
cost is too high.

a suggestion about the execution of development plan of Tanjung
Perak harbor.
After 1910, hence the development of Tanjung
Perak harbor is started. During its development, there are a lot
of demand for apply dock, which have not been entirely completed.
Thereby, hence it had executed its expansion. Since at that time,

development and has important role, not only for the improvement
of commerce traffic in East Java but is also all of east Indonesia
area.
