Bali Benoa Marina Lifts Off

AUSTRALIA, July 7, 2025 /EINPresswire.com/ -- Just one month after the groundbreaking ceremony on 22 May 2025, Marina Development Indonesia (MDI), in partnership with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia, has successfully installed the first four concrete floating pontoons at Bali Benoa Marina on 21 June 2025. This milestone marks the beginning of the marina’s water-based infrastructure phase. The installation, led by SF Marina with technical supervision from MDI, was witnessed by representatives from the Ministry of Transportation and PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik (SPSL), a subsidiary of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia.

“This marks the first full-scale implementation of concrete pontoons in a marina setting in Indonesia, and the Ministry is fully committed to closely overseeing the deployment of this advanced technology,” stated Muhammad Masyhud, Director General of Sea Transportation at the Ministry of Transportation, during a recent private audience with Pelindo and MDI.

A total of 11 concrete pontoons in three size variants—ranging from 14.5 to 34 tons—will be deployed to support 48 yacht berths at Dock B, which is expected to commence commercial operations in November 2025. Each unit is engineered to meet international marina safety standards and is built to withstand the rigours of tropical marine environments.

“We have closely monitored the initial installation to ensure full compliance with both national maritime regulations and global safety benchmarks. The execution has met all criteria for operational readiness,” said Aprianus Hangki, Head of the Benoa Port Authority (KSOP). “KSOP Benoa remains committed to supporting each phase of the marina’s development, underscoring strong collaboration between public authorities and private stakeholders.”

Once completed, Bali Benoa Marina will accommodate up to 180 yachts, including superyachts up to 90 meters, offering premium facilities and contributing to regional economic development.

“The successful installation of the first pontoons reflects our commitment to technical precision and disciplined project timelines. Dock B marks just the beginning of a larger transformation,” said Joseph Prabantara, Business Development Director of Marina Development Indonesia (MDI)
As part of a licensed technology transfer and under direct onsite technical supervision from SF Marina Sweden, SF Marina Indonesia is producing all pontoons locally. Marina Development Indonesia is overseeing the execution to ensure adherence to project benchmarks and to mitigate delivery risks.
Bali Benoa Marina’s waterside operations remain on schedule, with full operational readiness targeted for Q3 2026.

Master Plan Unveiled: A Fusion of World-Class Infrastructure and Balinese Philosophy
During the groundbreaking ceremony, MDI revealed the comprehensive master plan design for Bali Benoa Marina and its 3.3ha waterfront development, comprising:
• A hospitality zone with meeting, incentive, conference and exhibition facilities
• A retail promenade featuring curated local and global brands
• A lifestyle and events hub including food and beverage outlets and marine lifestyle experiences

Project Scope and Timeline
Bali Benoa Marina will be developed in four key phases:
• Phase 1 (Q4 2025): Completion of Dock B with 48 berths, operational utilities and a welcoming station to begin pilot operations
• Phase 2 (Q2 2026): Full rollout of technical services including vessel maintenance, repair workshops, fuelling systems and docking support
