Port Overview

Benoa port is located close to Denpasar and attends to passenger cruises vessels, freighters and traditional Indonesia coasters.. The port has a new berth intended for use by larger cargo vessels (containerized and bulk) and passenger services. A recently completed toll bypass road has aided in easing access between the Port and to the Ngurah Rai International Airport.
Benoa port is the most suitable port for the receiving of containerized cargo for Bali. The other ports on the island are set up for RoRo operations, bulk commodities (cement) and passenger movements.
