Regional Pier. The Central Government through the Ministry of Transportation has allocated a state budget of Rp 95 billion since 2008 to build a regional dock at a capacity of 500 tons in the Bade District of Edera, Mappi Regency, Papua Province. Construction of the 100 meter long pier is currently entering the finishing stage. The Rp 95 billion fund is also to build other supporting facilities such as buildings in the port area. The port was built with the intention that large ships carrying merchandise from outside could lean and later this port would become a center for the distribution of goods to other areas around Mappi Regency and Boven Digoel Regency. The Digul River crosses Boven Digul Regency, Mappi Regency then empties into the Aru Sea. At present the freighter cannot dock to the riverbank due to the lack of an adequate port. Ships anchored in the middle of the river and goods were carried ashore using small boats. - JP / Nethy Dharma Somba / Adi / 19

Dermaga Regional. Pemerintah Pusat melalui Kementrian Perhubungan mengalokasikan dana APBN sebesar Rp 95 M sejak tahun 2008 untuk membangun dermaga regional di berkapasitas 500 ton di di Bade Distrik Edera Kabupaten Mappi Propinsi Papua. Pembangunan dermaga sepanjang 100 meter tersebut saat ini memasuki tahap finishing. Dana Rp 95 M tersebut juga untuk membangun sarana penunjang lainnya seperti gedung di kawasan pelabuhan. Pelabuhan tersebut dibangun dengan maksud agar kapal besar yang membawa barang dagangan dari luar bisa sandar dan nantinya pelabuhan ini akan menjadi pusat pendistribusian barang-barang ke wilayah lainnya di sekitar Kabupaten Mappi dan Kabupaten Boven Digoel. Sungai Digul melintasi Kabupaten Boven Digul, Kabupaten Mappi kemudian bermuara ke laut Aru. Saat ini kapal barang tidak bisa sandar ke pinggir sungai karena tidak tersedianya pelabuhan yang memadai. Kapal berlabuh di tengah sungai dan barang-barang dibawa ke darat menggunakan perahu-perahu kecil. - JP/Nethy Dharma Somba/Adi/19
