Earlier this month, the International Container Terminal Service started operations at its East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT) in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia. The facility has been developed to handle a wide range of bulk, project, and containerised cargo.

EJMT is an expansion to the port infrastructure in Indonesia, featuring a 300-meter quay line, a deep water draft of 13.5 meters, a 500-meter swinging basin, and equipment for handling bulk, project, and containerised cargo. According to ICTSI, the terminal features two of the biggest post-Panamax mobile harbour cranes in East Java.

“Strategically located in Terminal Umum Tanjung Pakis – Pelabuhan Brondong, alongside Lamongan Shorebase, the new terminal will provide another option for our customers in Lamongan, Tuban, and as far as Central Java, serving both their domestic and international trade requirements. Backed by a deep-water berth and the largest mobile harbour cranes in East Java, our customers can now deploy larger vessels, allowing them to load more cargo and reduce their overall costs per unit by calling at EJMT,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT chief executive officer.

“With new international liner connectivity, our oil and gas clients can import materials directly to Lamongan Shorebase, reducing both transit time and logistics costs,” David Lim, Eastern Logistics chief executive officer, said. “Our heavy lift deck and advanced crane infrastructure enable efficient handling of heavy-lift cargo, supporting energy sector projects across Indonesia, including wind farm installations and offshore platform development.” Eastern Logistics operates Lamongan Shorebase.

The new multipurpose terminal has been developed close to key industrial centres, and its proximity to the 500-hectare I-Sentra industrial park developed by Jakamitra is expected to drive growth for East Java’s industrial sector.
