As East Java’s new gateway, ICTSI said EJMT stands ready to support the economic goals of local and regional industries
East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), International Container Terminal Service, Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, officially opened for business on October 2.
“Strategically located in Terminal Umum Tanjung Pakis – Pelabuhan Brondong, alongside Lamongan Shorebase, the new terminal will provide another option for our customers in Lamongan, Tuban, and as far as Central Java, serving both their domestic and international trade requirements,” EJMT chief executive officer Patrick Chan said in a statement.
“Backed by a deep-water berth and the largest mobile harbor cranes in East Java, our customers can now deploy larger vessels, allowing them to load more cargo and reduce their overall costs per unit by calling at EJMT,” Chan added.
EJMT was completed in 18 months after construction began in March 2023.

ICTSI said the terminal is now fully equipped to serve diverse trade needs with a 300-meter quay line, deep water draft of 13.5 meters (LAT), a 500-meter swinging basin, and state-of-the-art handling equipment for bulk, project, and containerized cargo.
The terminal also boasts of two of the largest post-Panamax mobile harbor cranes in East Java.
David Lim, chief executive officer of PT Eastern Logistics that operates Lamongan Shorebase, said that with the new international liner connectivity, “our oil and gas clients can import materials directly to Lamongan Shorebase, reducing both transit time and logistics costs.”
“Our heavy lift deck and advanced crane infrastructure enable efficient handling of heavy-lift cargo, supporting energy sector projects across Indonesia, including wind farm installations and offshore platform development,” Lim added.
As East Java’s new gateway, ICTSI said EJMT stands ready to support the economic goals of local and regional industries.
The terminal’s proximity to key industrial centers hopes to drive down supply chain costs while helping reduce greenhouse gas emissions.
Adding further value, the 500-hectare I-Sentra industrial park developed by Jakamitra, situated adjacent to EJMT, offers ample space for new investments, with direct and easy connectivity to the port to further grow East Java’s industrial sector.
ICTSI earlier said part of its approximately $450 million capital expenditure for this year is for the development of EJMT, its joint venture with East Log Holdings, an Indonesian company specializing in offshore oil and gas supply bases.
EJMT, which broke ground in October 2023, is an international gateway designed to support the thriving economies of Lamongan, Tuban and central Java through the handling of containerized, breakbulk and project cargo. Situated in Lamongan Regency 60 kilometers west of Surabaya City, the multipurpose facility sits within the 80-hectare Lamongan Shorebase complex, which supports Indonesia’s specialized offshore oil and gas industry.
