CMA CGM’s Indonesia depot in Cakung handled 150,000 TEU (twenty-foot equivalent units) in nine months of operation.
The company’s fourth and largest container depot in Indonesia started operations in August last year, according to a statement.
Occupying an area of 35,000 sqm with an operating capacity of more than 4,000 TEUs, the depot caters primarily to commodity exports such as paper and rubber, as well as manufactured products such as garments, footwear and electronic items, among others, from Indonesia.
More than just dry container stuffing, the Cakung depot specializes in handling non-dangerous liquid shipments in Flexitank containers which CMA CGM has shipped from Indonesia. It offers a solution for shipments that complies with stringent food product specifications, the company said.
The depot offers a less than 20-minute turnaround for liquid shipments’ vehicles discharging and container pickup from the facility, thanks to fully-automated vehicle entry and exit systems.
Solar energy-powered
The one-stop facility also conducts pre-trip inspection, container pre-cooling, reefer monitoring, and container cleaning and repair. With its wastewater recycling system, the facility reuses up to 70% of recycled water from container washing. Each day, up to 15,000 liters of water are recycled.
Currently running its machinery on biofuel, the facility will soon be installed with rooftop solar panels to power its office operations and depot lighting in the second half of 2022. This will make the Cakung depot one of the first in Indonesia to be solar-powered.
