RoRo Melaka-Dumai siap akhir 2011
2010/12/21
MELAKA: Projek pembinaan perkhidmatan feri atau RoRo bagi mengangkut kenderaan di antara Melaka dan Dumai, Sumatera, Indonesia membabitkan kos RM11.2 juta dijangka siap sepenuhnya Disember tahun depan.Ketua Menteri, Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam, berkata kerajaan negeri sudah meluluskan pembinaan projek yang bakal dilaksanakan syarikat Kemajuan Amoy Bhd dan Melewar Integrated Engineering Sdn Bhd itu, tetapi masih belum mendapat kelulusan daripada Kementerian Pengangkutan.
Hadir sama, Timbalan Gabenor Riau, M Rizal Parkis; Pengerusi Jawatankuasa Perindustrian, Perdagangan, Pembangunan Usahawan dan Koperasi negeri, Datuk Md Yunos Husin dan Pengarah Urusan Strait of Malacca Partners Sdn Bhd, Datuk Lim Sue Beng.
Kerajaan Melaka sebelum ini merancang membina terminal perkhidmatan RoRo di Kuala Linggi, Alor Gajah tetapi ia tidak sesuai kerana paras air di kuala itu tidak dalam bagi operasi feri berkenaan.
Pembinaan terminal feri ini adalah projek kerajaan Melaka dan Kerajaan Pusat di kawasan Segi Tiga Pembangunan Indonesia-Malaysia-Thailand (IMT-GT).
Mengulas lanjut, Mohd Ali berkata, apabila projek itu siap, ia menggalakkan pertumbuhan ekonomi Sumatera, Melaka dan juga Malaysia dengan pelancong dari Sumatera boleh memandu sendiri kenderaan mereka di negara ini dan perkara sama berlaku kepada rakyat Malaysia yang melancong ke Sumatera.
“Saya difahamkan, perjalanan RoRo dari Melaka ke Dumai mengambil tempoh empat jam dengan jadual perjalanan feri sehari sekali iaitu pada jam 8 pagi dan perjalanan pulang pada jam 2 petang,” katanya.
Sementara itu, M Rizal berkata, pemerintah Riau sudah menyediakan semua kemudahan bagi perkhidmatan itu dan hanya menunggu maklum balas Kerajaan Malaysia.

MALACCA: The state is hoping for the Federal Government's approval for the longest sea-crossing bridge connecting the peninsula with Dumai in Sumatra.
Chief Minister Datuk Seri Mohd Ali Rustam said the proposed 127.93km highway costing US$12.75 billion (RM40.1 billion), is expected to take 10 years to build.
He said the proposal had been submitted to Prime Minister Datuk Seri Najib Razak, while the Governor of Riau, Rusli Zainal, will secure Jakarta's approval for the bridge to be built on their side.
"This is a very big project, and once completed, the bridge will be the world's longest sea-crossing bridge, which will connect our country with Indonesia.
"And it will definitely open new business opportunities between both countries.
"I hope that the governments of both countries will give the green light to this project.
"I think it should not be a problem as the project will be privately-funded," he said after a Roll-on Roll-off (RoRo) Port Construction Meeting with Riau deputy governor Emrizal Parkis at Majestic Hotel in Melaka Tengah here on Sunday.
The RoRo port construction is another state government project to provide ferry service for passengers and vehicles between Malacca and Dumai.
Ali said the bridge will be built by Straits of Malacca Partners Sdn Bhd, with financial support guaranteed by China Exim Bank and other financial institutions.
He said the bridge will give easier and cheaper means of travel to tourists and citizens of both countries.
Straits of Malacca Partners managing director Datuk Lim Sue Beng said the project involves the building of a 48km-long bridge connecting Malacca to Pulau Rupat; an 8km bridge connecting Pulau Rupat to Dumai; and 71.93km-long highway.
Lim said highway would be four lanes (two on each side) and two emergency lanes (one on each side), built according to normal highway specifications.
Once the approval is given, the parties involved are likely to require four years of thorough research and planning.
The design of the bridge is being put together by Hyunan Provincial Communications, Planning, Survey & Design Institute (HNCDI) of China
The biggest ships could pass through as it will be 76m above sea level during high tide, with travelling time estimated to be about an hour.
It will have two stay-cable bridges and one suspension bridge -- both the longest in the world.
