SINGAPORE (Yosefardi) – PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Persero) (IPC), Mitsui & Co, Ltd., Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK Line) and PSA International Pte Ltd have agreed to jointly participate in the construction and operation of a new container terminal at Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta, Indonesia.
This new terminal will be developed and operated by the newly established project company PT New Priok Container Terminal One.
The Republic of Indonesia has in recent years experienced dramatic economic growth accompanied by a rapid increase in container traffic. Jakarta’s Tanjung Priok Port is the most important and largest port in Indonesia, handling the majority of Indonesia’s international container traffic. To support the vibrant trade, there is an immediate need to increase the port capacity and handling capability.
The new terminal will have an annual handling capacity of approximately 1.5 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) of containers, an overall berth length of 850 metres, and a 16-metre draft upon completion, allowing the terminal to accommodate the advanced mega container vessels plying the oceans today.
IPC is the largest port operator in Indonesia. It has 12 port branches mainly located in the western part of Indonesia.
