Port of Tanjung Perak is one of the gateways of Indonesia which becomes goods collector and distribution from and to Eastern Indonesia. Because its strategic location and the existence of surrounding hinterlands, this port constitutes the center of inter island shipping for Eastern Indonesia.
Previously the oceangoing vessels did loading and unloading activities at Madura Straitand then freighted the cargoes by the means of barges and boats to Jembatan Merah (the first port in that time) situated along Kalimas river, at the heart of Surabaya City.
Due to the increases of trade, cargo and transportation traffics, the facilities available at port were inadequate. Therefore in 1875 Ir W de Jonght planned to build the port of Tanjung Perak so that the leading and unloading activities could be carried out directly without using barges and boats. Yet this plan was rejected since it needed a lot of funds.
During the 9th century the port construction could not be found while cargo transport traffic settled in jembaran Merah were sustained in the increased number. The Plan of port construction introduced by Ir W de Jongth was neglected.
In the first 10 years of the 20th century Ir WB Van Goor made a more realistic plan, that was, all oceangoing vessels might move closer to the quay (berthing). Two experts were expected to come from the Nether;ands, anmely, Prof DR Krauss and GJ de Jong and to give any proposals on port construction planning of Tanjung Perak.
After 1910 the physical construction of Tanjung Perak Port was initiated and during the accomplishment of port construction the demand of using incomplete-built quay rose in number.
The finishing of quay construction facilitated the oceangoing vessels to do their loading and unloading activities at port. Port Kalimas later functioned to be a port with providing service for traditional transports and sailing boats, in the meantime the port at Jembatan Merah was gradually abandoned.
Therefore, starting from that time Port of Tanjung Perak started to take part in contributing economic development in a quiet large scale and to have important role in increasing trade traffic both in East Java and the whole parts of Eastern Indonesia.
To support the task, the construction of inter island terminal was completed in 1983 known as MIrah Terminal. For the interests of inter island passengers, there was a passenger terminal located at North of Jamrid area. NEst to the passenger terminal, a fery terminal was built for the service of passenger was built and for the service pf passenger Surabaya-Madura destination on 24 hours service.
Time was passing and Port of Tanjung Perak has showed its strategic role as national gateway port. Then a container terminal was planned to build and its physical construction was finished in 1992.
Container terminal is acknowledged as Terminal Petikemas Surabaya. Those various facilities put port of Tanjung Perak in the movements of continuously supporting the development of Surabaya and the territories around.
