As the Pelindo subsidiary operating\nnon-container terminals, Pelindo Multi Terminal has a role in ensuring\nport services run consistently and reliably, and are able to meet the\nneeds of national strategic industries, including the nickel sector, as\nwell as driving Indonesian products into international markets,\u201d said\nSugeng.<\/p>\n

\u201cSupport for the nickel industry is not only about moving\ncommodities, but about how ports become part of the national industry\nvalue chain. Therefore, Pelindo Multi Terminal continues to strengthen\noperational readiness through facility optimisation, human resource\ncapability development, technology adoption, and the application of high\nsafety standards,\u201d Sugeng explained.<\/p>\n
