Located
only 20km from Singapore and 25km from Johor in Malaysia, Batam is
Indonesia's equivalent to China's SEZ's (Special Economic Zones) - a place
where the nation's economic planners test new economic policies and ideas.
The island is an industrial hub with electronics factories, a large and
growing ship repair industry and an even larger oil service sector. Quite
a few expats head there for work, and pubs and golf courses have sprung up
to serve them. 
Sekupang,
with ferries from Singapore is best used for those catching domestic
connections to the Sumatra mainland and the Karimun Islands. Waterfront
City and Nongsapura mostly serve adjacent resorts while Telaga Punggur is
the main ferry terminal for boats to and from Bintan
