The port, which is located in Depapre District, Jayapura Regency, Papua Province, does indeed serve a new sea highway route or route T-9. The route covers Merauke-Kokas-Sorong-Supiori-Depapre Jayapura Regency (round trip / PP).

The port is also equipped with two multipurpose fields covering an area of 5,900 m2 and 4,490 m2. Meanwhile, around the port, an eight meter wide road has been built to get in and out of the trailer trucks. However, the road is not yet connected to the Depapre-Sentani road, which is the responsibility of Papua Province.

This is part of President Jokowi's national strategic program (PSN), namely the new sea highway route. creating connectivity for the Papua region and also reducing price disparities for people in disadvantaged, frontier, outermost and border areas (3TP), "said Expert Staff to the Minister of Transportation Buyung Lalana.
Buyung also hopes that the presence of KM Logistik Nusantara 2, which stops at Depapre Port, can continue to be connected by utilizing air bridges or pioneer flights, and subsidized land transportation through Perum Damri.
