Container terminal operator IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK), a subsidiary of PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP), recorded its highest-ever container throughput in 2025, handling 3.59 million twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), up 13.2% from the previous year, the company said.
The state-owned port operator handled 3,597,487 TEUs during the year, compared with 3,177,939 TEUs in 2024, marking a record since the company’s establishment and underscoring its role in supporting Indonesia’s logistics and export-import flows, particularly in the western part of the country.
The growth was driven by improved operational efficiency, service transformation and the expansion of shipping services, IPC TPK said, as Indonesia’s trade activity showed steady gains.
“This achievement is not just a number, but a tangible demonstration of customer trust in IPC Terminal Petikemas’ services,” Corporate Secretary Pramestie Wulandary said.
She cited continuous innovation, service quality improvements and the launch of new regular and ad hoc services as key contributors to the performance.
The company’s momentum carried into the final month of the year, with December throughput reaching 327,880 TEUs, a 12% increase from 292,690 TEUs in the same month of 2024.
Domestic containers accounted for 247,153 TEUs, while international volumes reached 80,727 TEUs, reflecting balanced growth across both segments.
During 2025, IPC TPK introduced 25 new services, aimed at expanding cargo transport capacity and improving connectivity for both domestic and international trade, the company said.
Operational performance improved across nearly all of its terminals. Throughput at Tanjung Priok, Indonesia’s busiest port, rose 13.74%, while the Panjang terminal posted a 24.5% increase. Teluk Bayur recorded growth of 16.74%, Pontianak rose 7.4%, and Palembang increased 6.1%.
The company’s performance aligned with broader national trade trends. Data from Indonesia’s Central Statistics Agency (BPS) showed non-oil and gas exports rose 7.07% to $244.75 billion between January and November 2025, while imports increased 4.37% to $188.61 billion, resulting in a non-oil and gas trade surplus of $56.15 billion.
Pramestie said the record throughput provides a foundation for future growth. “This historic achievement will serve as a stepping stone for IPC Terminal Petikemas to continue innovating and strengthening its role in supporting the smooth flow of national logistics,” she said, thanking customers and stakeholders for their support.
