According to him, the sea highway route that enters Depapre Port is a new route, covering Merauke-Kokas-Sorong-Supiori-Depapre, Jayapura Regency (round trip).

"The sea highway concept accelerates the distribution of logistical materials connected to several ports with the principle of loading and unloading. Staple commodities are brought from one area, then other commodities are brought back," he said.

That is, rice from Merauke Regency before the sea highway had to be taken to Surabaya first and then shipped back to Jayapura, however, with this sea highway, rice from Merauke could directly enter Jayapura. "Then it is distributed to various areas in the central mountains or northern Papua region," he said.
