The Bandah Aceh to Palembang corridor is the only domestic corridor in the IMT-GT.
However, this does not mean that there is actually freight moving between Bandah Aceh and
Palembang. Freight flows are concentrated between Bandah Aceh and Medan. Medan is the
main trading hub for the north Sumatra region. Most of the imported goods from foreign
countries transit via the port of Belawan as ports in Aceh have limited capability for
containerised freight.
