East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) in Indonesia, successfully welcomed its first container ship following the terminal’s launch in mid-October. This milestone marks a significant step in EJMT’s operations at the new deep-water facility.
The container ship, XinYi Glass, made its inaugural call to Indonesia on Saturday, 14 December, choosing EJMT for its container operations. The cargo onboard is destined for XinYi Glass’s newly established factory in Gresik.
“We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT’s Chief Executive Officer.
“Having successfully managed our first container operation alongside multiple project vessels, we have demonstrated our capability as a fully multipurpose terminal equipped to handle all types of cargo. We are ready to support East Java.”
EJMT is equipped with state-of-the-art facilities, including two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbor cranes—the largest port equipment in East Java. For bulk cargo operations, the terminal utilizes four grabs with capacities of 30 and 12 cubic meters, as well as two automated 60-cubic-meter anti-dust hoppers.
Additionally, EJMT’s equipment fleet includes two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers. Strategically situated 60 kilometers northwest of Surabaya in Lamongan Regency, EJMT is located along the Java Sea, outside the Surabaya Channel.
This advantageous positioning ensures efficient connectivity and accessibility for port users. As East Java’s new gateway, EJMT is poised to serve both domestic and international markets, supporting hinterland customers with reliable and comprehensive port services.
