Padang (Port Code: IDPDG) is the chief port on Sumatra's western coast full of fishing boats and small cargo ships. There are two anchorages for yachts:Teluk Bayur, south of Padang on the northeast side of the bay and Bungus, a little farther away from the main town of Padang, but perhaps a quieter anchorage. Padangbai is lively harbor used as a starting point for ferries and was where the first Dutch fleet found shelter. The beach-fringed village is a veritable melting-pot of Indonesia's myriad cultures and races and of seafarers who came to trade and stayed.
The city’s port, at Bayur Bay (formerly Emmahaven), lies at the mouth of the Padang River at a point 5 miles (8 km) south of the city. Originally a 19th-century bunker port for coal from the Umbilin coalfields in the central part of West Sumatra, it also ships other goods such as rubber, cinnamon, tea, wood products, and palm oil.
