As part of its commitment to supporting the Indonesian government’s public transportation development program, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), or Pelindo, facilitated the arrival of a new commuter trainset at Tanjung Priok Port in Jakarta on Thursday, January 30. The trainset, owned by PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI / KAI Commuter), was imported from CRRC Qingdao Sifang Co., Ltd. in China.
Pelindo, through its Subholding PT Pelindo Multi Terminal (SPMT), which specializes in non-container terminal services, ensured the smooth unloading of the trainset, adhering to standard procedures and monitoring the process in real-time.
Ary Henryanto, President Director of Pelindo Multi Terminal, reaffirmed the company’s commitment to providing reliable services for all types of commodities handled through its ports. This includes unloading the commuter trainset efficiently and safely.
“We are proud to support this significant step in modernizing public transportation in Indonesia,” said Ary. “This trainset, which will serve as an essential mode of public transport in Jakarta, marks an important milestone. We hope this collaboration between Pelindo Group and KAI Group will contribute to a more advanced and reliable transportation system for the community.”
The trainset was unloaded from the Xin Da Qiang vessel at TPS Ambon Kade 202 at Tanjung Priok Port. The unloading process is expected to take two days, depending on favorable weather conditions.
Indra Hidayat Sani, President Director of PTP Nonpetikemas, which manages the non-container terminal at Tanjung Priok, also welcomed the arrival of the trainset. He assured that all necessary facilities and experienced teams were in place to handle the trainset with care.
“PTP Nonpetikemas is committed to ensuring the unloading process is completed smoothly, following all procedures, with real-time monitoring in place. The infrastructure and team at our terminal are fully equipped to handle this operation with the precision required,” said Indra. “This unloading process requires close coordination between various parties to prepare the trainset for its operational debut.”
Asdo Artiviyanto, President Director of PT Kereta Commuter Indonesia (KCI), expressed gratitude to Pelindo for their support in enhancing the Greater Jakarta commuter line service. He also praised the smooth and timely unloading of the first trainset.
