IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK), in collaboration with Indonesia’s Quarantine Agency, has inaugurated a new inspection facility at Tanjung Priok Port, aimed at streamlining logistics services and enhancing oversight of animal and plant product imports.
The new Quarantine Longroom and Office, located at IPC TPK Tanjung Priok Area 2, was launched as part of National Customer Day celebrations. Officials say the facility is designed to deliver faster, safer, and more transparent services to port users—reducing processing time and strengthening monitoring systems at one of the country’s busiest gateways.
“The presence of this Quarantine Longroom is part of our commitment to providing faster, more transparent, and more efficient services,” said Yanuar Evyanto, IPC TPK’s Director of Finance, Human Resources, and Risk Management, at the inauguration ceremony.
“We believe that improving service quality will have a tangible impact on the smooth flow of logistics,” he said further.
The facility is also part of Indonesia’s broader efforts to implement recommendations under the National Strategy for Corruption Prevention (Stranas PK). Officials say the initiative reinforces public sector governance and enhances accountability in quarantine inspections, an area that has faced longstanding challenges.
The inauguration was attended by senior figures from the Quarantine Agency, including Jakarta Quarantine Head Amir Hasanuddin, along with plant and animal quarantine officers and import representatives. The event was marked by the joint inspection of the facility’s first import container, officially starting operations at the Longroom.
“The Quarantine Longroom is a concrete manifestation of collaboration to create a more reliable logistics ecosystem,” Evyanto added. “Together with stakeholders, we are committed to ensuring the safe and smooth flow of goods while maintaining high standards in inspection processes.”
In addition to improving efficiency, the new facility features modern infrastructure intended to raise safety standards during inspections. With standardized and purpose-built spaces, quarantine procedures can now be conducted in a more secure and controlled environment, officials said, reducing risks for both inspectors and service users.
Tanjung Priok is Indonesia’s largest and busiest port, handling over 30% of the nation’s cargo traffic. Initiatives such as the new Quarantine Longroom form part of ongoing reforms to position the port as a logistics hub for the Southeast Asia region.
