Marina Development Indonesia (MDI), in partnership with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia, has successfully installed the first four concrete floating pontoons at Bali Benoa Marina — marking the beginning of the marina’s water-based infrastructure phase.

The installation, completed on 21 June 2025 and 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.”

— Muhammad Masyhud, Director General of Sea Transportation, Ministry of Transportation

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 the new Dock B facility. As part of a licensed technology transfer under direct onsite technical supervision from SF Marina Sweden, SF Marina Indonesia is producing all pontoons locally. Full operational readiness is targeted for Q3 2026.

“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.”

Master Plan: A Fusion of World-Class Infrastructure and Balinese Philosophy

MDI has also revealed the comprehensive master plan for Bali Benoa Marina and its 3.3-hectare waterfront development. Once completed, the marina will accommodate up to 180 yachts, including superyachts up to 90 meters, and will deliver premium facilities contributing to the region’s economic development.

The master plan comprises a hospitality zone with meeting, incentive, conference, and exhibition facilities; a retail promenade featuring curated local and global brands; and a lifestyle and events hub including food and beverage outlets and marine lifestyle experiences.
