It is located on the delta at the mouth of the Mahakam River, about 19 kilometers upstream from the river mouth. There are several waterways for navigation, but the Muara Bayor River is the most common. Large ships up to 120 meters long and 6 meters in draft can dock here. It has long been a distribution center for forest products from the hinterland, and has traded with Java and Singapore, but since the early 20th century, it has developed rapidly with the development of oil and coal in the vicinity.
