After such a long time did not write in this blog. Here I am, already about 1 year assignment in Saudi Arabia.
Building the greatest chemical complex ever built in single phase.. "A Game Changer" in the industries.
Most of Expat are from US and EU, being the only one Indonesian in the Club, I feel blessed that I have a cultural sensitivity with our team, the Saudi..
Fact.1. In my opinion, understanding the culture is very important for the success of project implementation. You will know the rational behind the situation and could be useful to identify improvement in future.
Contribution of Strong "Oil" income and spending:
Fact. 2. Road Transportation equipments are vary, most brand new from Europe manufacturer for fuel and chemical distribution... Look very nice. But law enforcement and driver qualification is something need to be improved
Fact. 3. Road condition relatively good... Hope Indonesia to get improve
Fact. 4. SeaPort facility also very good, all prepared for long term development with good spare capacity.. the exception is 2 main ports: Dammam and Jeddah.. They experience some congestion, but is it the port or the process... let see. 2015 finding: process improved in Dammam..
Fact. 5. Airport, relatively huge and empty... but long immigration queue... 2015: improve queue
Fact. 6. Waterway.... it is a desert.... No water way... :-)
Fact. 7. Railway.. great plan in place... great execution to be seen. 2015: Passenger train Mekkah Madinah... how about the land bridge linking Dammam to Jeddah?
Fact. 8. Customs operations, import take about 10 days to clear.. Export only 2 day gate opening.. What is the challenges.. let me learn more.
Fact. 9. Surveyor services, availalbe with international reputable operators
Fact. 10. ISOtank cleaning facility, very limited option 2 operator with 3 location in East Coast... more to come.. let see.. 2015: many promises, but slow execution.
Fact. 11. Forwarding agent and customs broker. Various quality and capabilities are available... local and international brand.... :-)
Fact. 12. Man Power in logistic sector... mostly expat... favorite Indian, Pakistani (Majority), Philipinos (less)...
Fact. 13. Consultant firm... plenty... seem a trend to use this service... I could have sufficient knowledge for this kind of work later... 2015: I think I am ready... :-)
What else... perhaps good enough for time being
