Non-container terminal operator PTP Terminal Nonpetikemas, a subsidiary of Subholding Pelindo Multi Terminal (SPMT), has exceeded expectations in 2024, demonstrating exceptional productivity across nearly all its terminals. This success has bolstered the company’s confidence in expanding its operations, including adding more terminals for self-interest (TUKS) and shorebases for offshore activities.
“Current productivity levels have given us the momentum to pursue market expansion, including operating more private TUKS and shorebases,” said Indra Hidayat Sani, President Director of PTP Terminal Nonpetikemas, in an interview with Indonesia Shipping Gazette on December 12, 2024, during a discussion with the Indonesia Port Editors’ Club.

PTP Nonpetikemas continues to play a vital role in supporting national strategic projects (PSN).

“PTP Nonpetikemas also continues to expand its shorebase services, now available at strategic locations in Jakarta, Lhokseumawe, and Banyuwangi, to support the oil and gas sector,” Indra added.
Expansion to More TUKS and Shorebases
Looking ahead to 2025, PTP Nonpetikemas plans to continue expanding its market reach through terminalization strategies and the development of international-standard shorebase services. The company already serves a wide range of domestic and international clients, including Mubadala, Harbour Energy, HCML, Schlumberger, Kangean Energy, Medco Energy, and MGA.
Currently, PTP manages six TUKS, such as TLB Bengkulu, PTBA Teluk Bayur, and Musim Mas Jambi, with plans to expand further. This aligns with the company’s vision to enhance its non-container business and establish multipurpose terminals as key drivers of regional economic growth.
“PTP Nonpetikemas is committed to modernizing its terminals through various strategies, including collaboration with partners like PBM, TUKS, and BUP to improve dock services with a focus on efficiency,” said Indra. “We are prioritizing modern equipment, including dock asset maintenance and joint investments, while adhering to Health, Safety, and Security (K3) principles.”

The company places strong emphasis on education for shipping lines, loading/unloading partners, and trucking services to foster greater synergy within the industry.
Through these strategies, the company aims to increase productivity, reduce costs, standardize equipment, and improve planning and control. “Our goal is to make multipurpose terminals the preferred choice by offering the highest service standards while driving regional economic growth,” concluded Indra.
