Indonesia’s leading car terminal operator PT Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal Tbk (IDX: IPCC) has started the year with impressive operational results, reflecting its continued growth and strong market position.
In January 2025, IPCC recorded an 8.7% increase in cargo handling compared to the same period last year, successfully managing 81,273 units—an addition of 6,504 units. This increase includes vehicles such as Completely Built-Up (CBU) units, buses/trucks, and heavy equipment.
In addition to strong cargo performance, the number of ship calls to IPCC also saw a notable rise, up 11.6% year-on-year, with 268 vessel calls in January 2025—28 more than in January 2024.
This growth is attributed to several factors, including the absence of safety issues that impacted certain brands in the previous year and the influx of new automotive brands from China. Furthermore, a surge in the export of vehicles from brands with production facilities in Indonesia also contributed to the positive results.
In terms of specific cargo types, IPCC handled a total of 17,620 units of truck and bus cargo in January 2025, marking a healthy 17.3% increase year-over-year. This uptick, while slightly moderated, aligns with ongoing domestic mining activities and the completion of national strategic energy projects, such as those in Gresik and Morowali, which have driven demand for larger vehicles.
The Company’s performance in handling CBU cargo also remained robust, with 64,236 units processed in January 2025—a rise of 6,598 units or 11% compared to the previous year.
Heavy equipment cargo showed even more impressive growth, up by 24.3%, totaling 2,624 units. This segment’s growth was driven by both exports and imports, with well-established brands like Hitachi, Caterpillar, Sumitomo, Hyundai, and Komatsu leading the charge.
Bagus Dwipoyono, IPCC’s Director of Operations and Engineering, emphasized the importance of continuous transformation and standardization to maintain the company’s performance.
“We are focused on ongoing improvements, including optimizing our business processes, expanding stacking yard capacity, and enhancing operational support facilities. Additionally, we are planning to maximize the use of the IPCC Jakarta Branch’s dock to increase the frequency of international ship visits,” Bagus said.
Echoing this, Endah Dwi Liesly, Senior Manager of IPCC Corporate Secretary, expressed confidence in the company’s outlook for 2025, highlighting the strength of its operational fundamentals.
“Based on our performance in January, we are optimistic about continuing to build on last year’s successes. Our strategic initiatives, such as the implementation of PTOS-C at international and satellite terminals, will further strengthen our operations and ensure continued growth,” she said.
With a solid start to the year, PT Indonesia Kendaraan Terminal Tbk is well-positioned to maintain its momentum, driving efficiency and growth across all segments while continuing to support Indonesia’s evolving logistics and automotive industries.
