East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in Indonesia, handled its first container ship since starting operations at the new deep-water terminal in October.
The container ship XinYi Glass made its inaugural call to EJMT on December 14 for its container discharge operations. The cargo is destined for XinYi Glass’s new factory in Gresik, Indonesia.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia,” EJMT chief executive officer Patrick Chan said in a statement.
“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,” Chan added.
EJMT, which officially opened for business on October 2, is equipped with two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbor cranes – the largest port equipment in East Java. For bulk cargo operations, the terminal employs four 30- and 12-cubic-meter grabs and two 60-cubic-meter automated anti-dust hoppers. Its equipment fleet also includes two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers.
The terminal is also fully equipped to serve diverse trade needs with a 300-meter quay line, deep water draft of 13.5 meters (LAT), and a 500-meter swinging basin.
Strategically located 60 kilometers northwest of Surabaya within the Lamongan Regency, EJMT faces the Java Sea and is positioned outside the Surabaya Channel, offering efficient connectivity and accessibility for port users. As the new gateway to East Java, EJMT said it will support hinterland customers in both domestic and international market.
EJMT is ICTSI’s joint venture with East Log Holdings, an Indonesian company specializing in offshore oil and gas supply bases.
