Majority of the Special of Economic Exclusive Zone [KEK] highly appreciated the courage of the Governor of Bengkulu Agusrin in driving the Province of Bengkulu to become a Free Economic Zone. The Governor of Benkulu Agusrin urged the Parliament to set up the Province of Bengkulu as Free Trade Zone.
Aguarin stated that he would set up an integrated team to lobby the Minister of Trade to make Bengkulu a center of the world trade, relying on commodities like rubber and coal. According to the Parliament, the Province of Bengkulu was one of the provinces to be prioritized as exclusive economic zone. There were three locations which would be the heartbeat of the exclusive zone, i.e. the Pulai Baai harbour, the Linau Bintuhan Harbour and the Engano. Even without the exclusive zone project, the Government of Bengkulu would continue to build the Pulau Baai harbour, the Linau harbour and the railway. A contract had been signed with the PT Batu Bara Bukit Asam to transport coal by train to Pulau Baai Harbour for exporting.
