ICTSI Services its First Container Ship in Indonesia

East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), an International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) facility in Indonesia, has successfully welcomed its first container ship since operations began at the new deepwater terminal in mid-October.

On Saturday, December 14, XinYi Glass made its inaugural call to Indonesia, selecting EJMT for container discharge operations. The cargo is destined for XinYi Glass's new factory in Gresik.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT Chief Executive Officer. “Having handled our first container call, alongside multiple project vessels, we have demonstrated our capability as a fully multipurpose terminal that can accommodate all types of cargo. We are ready to support East Java.”

EJMT is equipped with two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbor cranes, the largest port equipment in East Java. For bulk cargo operations, the terminal has four 30- and 12-cubic-meter grabs, as well as two 60-cubic-meter automated anti-dust hoppers. Its equipment fleet also comprises two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers.

EJMT is strategically located in the Lamongan Regency, 60 kilometers northwest of Surabaya, facing the Java Sea and outside the Surabaya Channel, providing effective connection and accessibility for port users. As the new entrance to East Java, EJMT will serve customers in both domestic and international markets.
