Indonesia’s East Java Multipurpose Terminal welcomes first container ship
The East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) in Indonesia, celebrated a milestone by successfully handling its first container ship since beginning operations at the newly developed deep-water terminal in mid-October.
On Saturday 14 December, XinYi Glass made its inaugural call to Indonesia, selecting EJMT for its container discharge operations. The cargo is destined for XinYi Glass’s new manufacturing facility in Gresik, Indonesia.
EJMT boasts state-of-the-art equipment, including two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbor cranes—the largest of their kind in East Java. For bulk cargo handling, the terminal utilizes four grabs with capacities of 30 and 12 cubic meters and two 60-cubic-meter automated anti-dust hoppers.
Its operational fleet also features two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers.
Strategically situated 60 kilometres northwest of Surabaya in Lamongan Regency, EJMT faces the Java Sea and lies outside the Surabaya Channel. As East Java’s newest gateway, EJMT is well-positioned to support hinterland customers across domestic and international markets.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia,” stated Patrick Chan, EJMT’s Chief Executive Officer.
Patrick Chan added, “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.”
