Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL) enjoyed 8% ship calls increase in August, compared to the same month in 2023. During the month, total ship calls to this terminal reached 132 units (1,284,253 GT), increasing from 122 units (1,179,349 GT).
This helped the terminal to achieve 10.8% increase by year to date (YTD). From January to August, total ship calls had reached 809 units, increasing from 730 units in the same period last year.
The terminal operational improvement has supported a faster loading/unloading process and shortened port stay, thus making a more efficient service.
Such efficient service has encouraged shipping lines to open new serviced or add existing services and attracted more ship calls to come.
In January-August 2024, TTL had some new services, including PT Meratus Line service of Surabaya – Tangkiang – Kendari, PT SPIL’s Balikpapan – Palu Service, and Tanto’s Makassar-Kendari Service.
Not only domestic, TTL also had some international new service during the period, including International CIX Service (Intra Asia), Wanhai Line – InterAsia Line, and KMTC’s Service to Middle East and India Sub Continent.
Those new services, in addition to bringing benefits in higher ship calls, would expand TTL logistics network and add options in distribution points for customers.
TTL also enjoyed container throughput during the period. In January-August (YTD), total container throughput reached 581,525 TEUs, increasing 6.4% year-on-year, from 546,324 TEUs in January-August, 2023. The throughput in August increased 10%, from 72,722 TEUs (August 2023) to 79,948 TEUs.
Commending such achievements, PT Terminal Teluk Lamong President Director David Pandapotan Sirait explained that such customers’ trust had proven TTL’s service excellence and efficiency. “New services are the manifesto of customers’ trust. And that is the results of our improvement in operational and our service excellence,” said David.
