permits and licenses to set up facilities and operations within the park.
Bintan Industrial Estate
Located on Bintan Island, Bintan Industrial Estate is 270 hectare sea fronting industrial estate
with up to 4,000 hectares for expansion. The industrial park features a passenger ferry terminal,
on-site customs office, a dedicated port and the future Bintan Resort Airport (ground breaking
held in May 2012). These unique features ensure the smooth flow of raw materials and finished
goods in and out of the industrial estate, allowing MNCs to meet their "Just in Time" production
schedules.
Besides the attractive incentives of the Special Economic Zone and Free Trade Zone, both
Batamindo Industrial Park and Bintan Industrial Estate offers investors the best of both worlds –
Singapore’s pro-business environment and connectivity to global markets and Indonesia’s
abundant land and labour resources.

Singapore, Bintan Resorts is an idyllic tropical
