Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) distributed 40 qurban animals ahead of Eid al-Adha 1447 Hijri/2026 to communities surrounding Tanjung Priok Port, as the container terminal operator sought to strengthen ties with residents and stakeholders in the port area.
The distribution targeted communities in the terminal’s Ring 1 operational area, social and educational groups under JICT’s guidance, workers, and several institutions supporting activities at Tanjung Priok Port.
JICT President Director Ade Hartono said the program reflected the company’s efforts to maintain social harmony between industrial activities at one of Indonesia’s busiest ports and the surrounding communities.
“The port and the community grow in the same space,” Ade said in a statement on Wednesday. “The sustainability of a logistics area is determined not only by smooth operations, but also by the quality of relationships built with surrounding communities and stakeholders.”
According to Ade, modern port operations require strong social engagement to support balanced economic growth and sustainable trade activities.
“Eid al-Adha reminds us of the values of sharing and solidarity,” he said. “Within the port ecosystem, those values are reflected through mutually supportive relationships between the port, the community, and operational support elements.”
JICT said the qurban distribution process was carried out in coordination with relevant stakeholders and aligned with broader coordination within the PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), or Pelindo, Group.
As one of Indonesia’s main international trade gateways, JICT said it viewed the port not only as a logistics hub but also as part of a broader social environment that requires stability and cooperation with surrounding communities.
“This year’s Eid al-Adha momentum provides an opportunity for JICT to maintain harmony between port activities and the lives of surrounding communities,” Ade said.
