The Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association (INSA) Greater Jakarta chapter, known as INSA Jaya, convened a coordination meeting on Thursday aimed at reinforcing collaboration among key stakeholders at Tanjung Priok and Marunda Ports, two of the busiest maritime hubs in Indonesia.
Held under the banner of “INSA Jaya Coffee Morning with Agencies & Stakeholders,” the event gathered port authorities, government agencies, and private sector operators at INSA Jaya’s headquarters. The meeting was chaired by INSA Jaya Branch Executive Board Chairman Andi S. Patonangi and Secretary M. Erwin Y. Zubir.
Participants included representatives from the Tanjung Priok Immigration Office, the Harbormaster and Port Authority (KSOP) of both Tanjung Priok and Marunda, and state port operator PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo). Also in attendance were executives from classification bureau PT Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI), PT Jasa Armada Indonesia (JAI), PT Integrasi Logistik Cipta Solusi (ILCS), and PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim (SPJM).
“This gathering is part of our ongoing commitment to foster synergy between stakeholders so that we can collectively address operational challenges and improve the efficiency of maritime logistics,” said Andi S. Patonangi in his opening remarks.
Participants emphasized the need for enhanced communication between shipping companies and port authorities, particularly on matters relating to the smooth provision of pilotage and tugboat services.
Discussions also focused on the commitment of port service agencies to maintaining 24/7 operational readiness, a critical component in ensuring the seamless flow of cargo and vessel movements. Additionally, stakeholders underscored the importance of compliance with maritime safety regulations, including the timely issuance of vessel safety and classification certificates.
The meeting comes as Indonesia continues to prioritize improvements in port infrastructure and logistics efficiency as part of broader efforts to support national economic growth and reduce supply chain bottlenecks.
