Russian Railways will complete the construction of the Indonesian island of Kalimantan line in 2019. “The project is so beneficial economically that we and the banks involved in its financing feel quite comfortable. All the investment will pay off within six years. Cargo will go by rail to a seaport from the vast areas of the island of Kalimantan, which is the largest in Indonesia and very rich in natural resources and minerals,” Russian Railways spokesman Denis Muratov said.
In the future, Russian Railways could take part in other projects to upgrade Indonesia’s railway infrastructure. The authorities want four projects covering up to 4,000 kilometers of track, said the spokesman.
