Tanjung Bemban is a submarine cable landing point located in Indonesia, situated in the island region near the Strait of Malacca — one of the world's most heavily trafficked maritime corridors. Three submarine cables make landfall here, connecting Tanjung Bemban to Singapore and to other points within Indonesia. The concentration of cables oriented toward Singapore reflects the short but strategically dense cross-strait corridor between Indonesian territory and the major regional hub of Singapore.
Among the cables landing at Tanjung Bemban, JAKABARE and RISING 8 are the most prominent in terms of length and scope, each linking Indonesia and Singapore within a regional bilateral corridor. The third cable, INSICA, is a shorter system connecting directly to Singapore. Together, these three cables establish Tanjung Bemban as a focused bilateral hub within the Indonesia–Singapore submarine cable corridor.
JAKABARE is a submarine cable spanning 1,330 km with a ready-for-service (RFS) year of 2009. It connects landing points in Indonesia and Singapore, forming one of the earlier bilateral links represented at this landing point.
RISING 8 is a submarine cable measuring 1,104 km, with an RFS year of 2026. It similarly connects Indonesia and Singapore, representing a newer addition to the cable infrastructure at Tanjung Bemban and reflecting continued investment in cross-strait connectivity between the two countries.
INSICA is a shorter submarine cable at 100 km, also with an RFS year of 2026, connecting Tanjung Bemban directly to Singapore. Its comparatively brief length underscores the geographic proximity of the two countries across the Strait of Malacca.
Within Indonesia's submarine cable network, Tanjung Bemban ranks among the upper tier of the country's 139 landing points by cable count, hosting 3 cables. Compared to major Indonesian landing points such as Batam (20 cables), Jakarta (9 cables), Tanjung Pakis (9 cables), Manado (8 cables), Dumai (7 cables), and Makassar (6 cables), Tanjung Bemban is a more focused landing point rather than a broad multi-corridor hub. Its cables are exclusively oriented toward the Singapore corridor, distinguishing it from peers that serve a wider range of international destinations.
Tanjung Bemban functions as a dedicated bilateral cable terminus, with all three of its submarine cables connecting Indonesia to Singapore. The two 2026-vintage cables — RISING 8 and INSICA — represent a wave of new infrastructure arriving alongside the older JAKABARE system from 2009, indicating that this landing point is actively receiving new investment in the Indonesia–Singapore corridor. The combination of a mature cable and two forthcoming systems makes Tanjung Bemban a point of both established and emerging connectivity.
Within the broader Indonesian submarine cable graph, Tanjung Bemban's role is narrow in geographic reach but notable in cable density relative to most of Indonesia's 139 landing points. Its exclusive orientation toward Singapore underlines the intensity of the bilateral submarine cable relationship between the two neighboring countries across the Strait of Malacca.
