As it enters its third year following the Pelindo merger, PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik (SPSL) has demonstrated strong operational growth through the third quarter of 2024. The company reported a remarkable 79% growth in its multimodal services, followed by a 50% increase in storage and a 24% rise in warehousing.
This growth aligns with Indonesia’s overall economic progress in 2024, which has driven higher cargo volumes across various SPSL services. Warehouse operations have particularly flourished at major ports such as Tanjung Priok, Tanjung Perak, and Tanjung Emas.
A positive trend is evident in SPSL’s multimodal services, especially within special economic zones like the Sei Mangkei Special Economic Zone (KEK). Increased industrial activity in the area has bolstered demand along key routes, including Belawan-Sei Mangkei-Belawan, Sei Mangkei-Kuala Tanjung-Sei Mangkei, and Belawan-Pematang Siantar-Belawan, all operational since 2023.
“This performance improvement stems from our ongoing transformations, innovations, and the standardization of operations,” stated Kiki M. Hikmat, Senior Vice President of the Corporate Secretariat at PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik, during a press event in Jakarta on November 4. “These efforts reflect our commitment to providing integrated logistics solutions.”
SPSL is dedicated to enhancing supply chain efficiency by integrating logistics networks across strategic areas, including Belawan, Sei Mangkei, Kuala Tanjung, Pematang Siantar, and Padang Halaban. The company’s multimodal solutions are effective in reducing logistics costs and accelerating delivery times, thus boosting the competitiveness of local products in both national and international markets.
To further advance the national logistics industry, SPSL plans to implement X-ray-based container scanner technology in 2024. This technology will facilitate the inspection of export and import containers in the Common Area, streamlining processes while ensuring compliance with regulatory policies to prevent smuggling.
Kiki also highlighted the successful full operation of the Pelindo Tower building, which achieved an occupancy rate of 80.4% as of the third quarter of 2024. This facility is expected to enhance operational efficiency within the logistics sector.
Through collaboration with various stakeholders—including regulators, private industry partners, state-owned enterprises (BUMN), and global entities—PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik aims to deliver competitive logistics services that meet market demands. “Three years after the Pelindo merger, PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik remains committed to providing excellent service free from fraud, corruption, and extortion, while making a meaningful contribution to society and the environment,” Kiki concluded.
