Abstract
The Port of Kuala Tanjung will provide a logistical diversification opportunity in which the need for freight services for both export, import, and inter-island distribution through port will continue to increase. Seeing the magnitude of this potential, it is hoped that Kuala Tanjung Port can become an alternative International Hub Port in Western Indonesia that can provide added value for economic growth significantly. As a potential port to become an international Hub Port, Kuala Tanjung must have a large cargo demand, coming from its own hinterland as well as shifting from other nearby ports. The largest potential hinterland of Kuala Tanjung Port is in the form of oil palm and rubber plantations with derivative goods. Kuala Tanjung Port is predicted to accommodate 65% of total goods production in North Sumatra, both containerized and bulk liquid.

Summary
Kuala Tanjung Port has the potential to become a hub of logistics for the Asia Pacific region (Coordinating Ministry for Economic Affairs, Republic of Indonesia). The development of the Port of Kuala Tanjung as the International Hub Port has been proclaimed by the government in the Blueprint of the National Logistics System (Sislognas) which is part of the Masterplan for the Acceleration of Economic Development and Expansion of Indonesia (MP3EI) and the Concept of Sea Tollway. Kuala Tanjung Port will be developed as an Industrial Gateway Port that integrates a harbor with an industrial area of 3,000 Hectare and Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (SEZ). It has a natural depth location of -14 m LWS at a distance of 2.7 km from the coast with the waters around the port open directly to the Strait of Malacca. The natural condition of the surrounding area is considered the criteria as the International Hub Port, in addition to the growing industrial clusters around it [1-6]
