River Mahakam is located in East Kalimantan. It is considered to be the largest river in Indonesia. It holds very important contributions to the people living along the riverside villages an cities.
Its size make it possible for big ships, barges and fleets to sail upstream.
East Kalimantan is the largest coal exporter province in Indonesia. And half of it is now being transported thru the river.
Highway maybe the fastest way to go deep inland but the government haven't yet build a good enough highway. People would rather use water transport to go inland because most of their destination cities are by the river.
