WHO WANT TAKE THE FTZ ADVANTAGES ?

After Indonesian Parliament and Government decide Batam Island Indonesia as free port and trade zone in Indonesia, the question is, who want take the advantage?

If we talk about advantage, it’s meaning about business. As we know together, the business oriented is gains and profits. So, what is the advantage the investors can gate from Batam Island?

After reading the FTZ and Free Port of Batam Island law, I understand that the new regulation is created for the foreign investors. Event local people can gate the little advantage too, that is from the employee opportunity. And Indonesian government just can gate the money from the tax only.

By this facts, so proper if many investor of shipyard industry – especially from Dubai and Middle East – choose Batam Island to invest their money. Because, Batam Island is very strategic place for shipyard industry business. You know why? Batam is only 20 kilometers from Singapore and located beside the Malaka Strain. It’s mean, many cargo ships and tag boat in this area. That all are the good market and good money. The other reason is, the land rent in Batam Island is competitive price. And the important one is the labor salary here is cheap.

But, for you information, if you interesting to invest your money in shipyard industry, better you find the second opinion from independent resources after you gate the government explanations. Because, the problem in shipyard industry right now is the expatriate regulation and environment matters.

Of cause, that’s just the very little information for you. There is more if you need. (!)
