Pelabuhan Saudagar is a location in Just Cause 2.

Description

This is a military controlled commercial port and, once captured, a Roaches faction stronghold.

The name means "Merchant Port" in Malay. Pelabuhan Saudagar is the largest port in Panau. It was once a prosperous seaport for business purposes during Papa Panay's rule on Panau until Pandak Panay's regime took over the island. Now it is a local Military stronghold, and is only used by the government.

'Razor' Razman hopes to take over the port for his own personal uses. It is the first stronghold takeover offered by the Roaches and is relatively easy to complete because there's a small military presence there. It has several warehouses filled with shipping containers and several oil cisterns that can't be destroyed. There are also several industrial chimneys by the silos, that can be destroyed for money and Chaos points. Cranes are found in lots there, these offer the same reward when destroyed as the chimneys.

The chimneys are strange. They are not found close to industrial buildings, just standing beside the cisterns. They could be a part of a district heating station, but that's only a suspect. Some of these glitch also when you reach there after destruction, with smoke streams emitting from the empty air space.

The area consists of about 5 docks, 7 warehouses, around 7 oil cisterns of the large variant, 7 cranes scattered around the place, a lot of large container stacks, 10 industrial chimneys and two container ships stationed in the southern and middle docks. Six of the cranes, most container stacks, and two or three of the warehouses are found in the southern and middle four docks. This part of the harbor is likely used for container trading mostly, while the northern single dock consists of four of the oil cisterns, most chimneys, a lone closed warehouse and a lone crane. This is most likely the oil harbor.

There is also a gun mount with a minigun so you can take out a lot of destructibles within this area. That and the fact this is right next to Panau City's Dock District, makes chaos easy to achieve.

Completion

• 3 Fuel Depots.
• 10 Industrial Chimneys.
• 7 Cranes.
• 3 SAMs, which don't count towards the completion of this stronghold and will shoot at government aircraft (after you've taken this place over), but do count towards the total amount of SAMs destroyed.
• 6 resource items (32% of the completion):
  • 2 Weapon Parts.
  • 2 Vehicle Parts.
  • 1 Armor Part.
  • 1 Cash Stash.

Vehicles

• 2 MV V880s during the mission that takes place here.
• 1 UH-10 Chippewa during the mission that takes place here. It is up to you if you want to hijack this vehicle or destroy it during the mission.
• 2 Dalton N90s after the mission, parked outside.
• 1 Hamaya Y250S after the mission.
• 1 Mullen Skeeter Eagle after the mission.
• 2 MV Quartermasters before the mission, parked outside.
• 2 Container ships near the technician area and the southern docks.

Location

This harbor is located in the Docks District of Panau City, at about X:1510; Y:13440. It has a large spanse over the eastern coast of the city. It runs along the coast, runs under a bridge and continues shortly on the northern coast of the city.

Trivia

• The M1 highway bridge is too low for some of the tankers stationed in the harbor. The bridge is 23 meters tall, while the boats being around 30 meters high. This is probably an error in programming.
  • Maybe the tankers were already stationed there when the bridges were built?
  • The M1 highway creates a ring of bridges connecting all the districts of Panau city. This means that, assuming all the bridges are the same height, the two boats are completely stuck within the this ring.
• This stronghold is one of the most notable ones for being situated right next to Panau City - Docks District.
• Logically, if you pass over the harbor on the highway bridge, you don't get pre-heat. Although if you jump over the side of the bridge then you get pre-heat. It makes sense because anyone - civilians and the military, use the bridge as a public road.
  • Also on the junction where the harbor is to the city, you get pre-heat, even though you are quite far away from the harbor.
• The eastern side of the port is completely unsecured. In a realistic naval port - especially a military one, there would be zero chance of an unsecured opening to a military base. This may have happened because...
  • The Panauan Government... (in lore):
    • May have/more than likely cut corners and skimmed funds "off the top", leading to the civil engineers in the Panauan military running out of allocated time, funding, and resources.
    • Probably used civilian contractors to build the base. However, the blame of the eastern side being unsecured and unfinished will still land on the Panauan government. The only way civilian construction companies can be at fault is if they are equally as corrupt or incompetent
  • The game developers... (realistically):
    • Forgot to put the wall on the eastern side, rendering it unsecured.
    • Cut corners for game limits. This also explains why this port, alongside other bases around Panau, is astonishingly low manned.
