In the ASEAN Transport Strategic Plan 2015-2025 the establishment of an ASEAN Single Shipping
Market and the promotion of maritime safety, security and strategic economic corridors within ASEAN
are defined as strategic goals. It also envisages establishing an integrated, efficient and globally
competitive logistics and multimodal transport system, for seamless movement of passengers by road
vehicles and cargo within and beyond ASEAN.
The MPAC 2015 distinguishes three levels of connectivity:
1) Physical connectivity. Improving infrastructure critical to transport, communications and energy;
2) Institutional connectivity. Providing trade, investment and regulatory framework to enable optimal
growth and prosperity;
3) People-to-People connectivity. Expanding educational opportunities and promoting human
resource development, preserving Asian culture, and promoting increased tourism across the
region.
In the MPAC 2015, 47 regional ports are targeted to improve performance and capacity, as illustrated
i Of these 47 ASEAN ports, 14 are situated in Indonesia and most of them also part of the
Sea Toll Road project.
