The maiden shipment, valued at USD 1.21 million, involved 180 containers of commodities such as alumina hydroxide and coconut products destined for Malaysia, China, South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan.

        "content": "<p>West Kalimantan Governor Ria Norsan officiated the first container\nexport from Kijing Terminal in Mempawah Regency on Monday, 29 June 2026.\nThis milestone marks a significant step in optimising Kijing Terminal as\nan export gateway for West Kalimantan\u2019s leading commodities while\nstrengthening national logistics connectivity. The inaugural export\ninvolved the shipment of various commodities to several countries. From\nKijing Terminal, PT Borneo Alumina Indonesia exported 12 containers of\nalumina hydroxide and PT Unicoco Industries Indonesia shipped two\ncontainers of processed coconut products to Pasir Gudang, Malaysia.\nAdditionally, PT Ferrindo exported 10 containers of whole coconuts to\nYangpu, China, whilst from the Tayan area, PT Indonesia Chemical Alumina\ndispatched 150 containers to South Korea, Japan, and Taiwan. The export\nwas facilitated through container facilities prepared by PT Pelabuhan\nIndonesia (Persero) Regional 2, the operator of Kijing Terminal. The\nterminal had previously received its first container vessel visit on 10\nJune 2026, marking the commencement of container services at Kijing. The\nexport activity was served by MV WGM 256 T, which docked at Pier PK 02\non 28 June 2026, and TK MMSS 2711\/TB Megah 1611, which handled\nsubsequent operational activities on 29 June 2026. Governor Ria Norsan\nexpressed appreciation for Pelindo\u2019s efforts in accelerating the\noptimisation of Kijing Terminal through the provision of container\nservices. He expressed hope that Kijing Terminal would develop into a\nnew export-import hub capable of driving investment and economic growth\nin West Kalimantan. \u2018Let us jointly support the development of Kijing\nTerminal. The Provincial Government is also continuing to encourage the\nacceleration of road access construction to Kijing so that logistics\nconnectivity improves and investment enters West Kalimantan more\nquickly,\u2019 he said. Pelindo\u2019s Commercial Director, Farid Padang, stated\nthat the maiden export from Kijing Terminal demonstrates that the port\nis beginning to gain the trust of business operators as West\nKalimantan\u2019s export gateway. In this initial shipment, 180 containers\nwere dispatched via Malaysia. Going forward, Pelindo will prepare\nlarger-capacity vessels to enable direct exports to destination\ncountries without the need for transit ports. \u2018This is an initial step\nfor all of us. Going forward, the optimisation of Kijing Terminal must\ncontinue to be supported through synergy among all parties, including\nservice users, while always paying attention to operational risk\nmitigation and port governance so that services can continue to\nimprove,\u2019 he said. Executive Director 2 of Pelindo Regional 2, Budi\nPrasetio, said the maiden export was the result of collaboration between\nPelindo, the government, regulators, shipping companies, exporters, and\nall stakeholders in driving the optimisation of Kijing Terminal. \u2018This\nmaiden export is proof that Kijing Terminal is beginning to gain the\ntrust of business operators. We have prepared various supporting\nfacilities, including container handling equipment, so that this\nterminal is ready to provide effective, efficient, and competitive\nservices,\u2019 Budi said in Mempawah. He expressed hope that the\navailability of container services at Kijing Terminal would provide an\nalternative for exporters in West Kalimantan to ship their products\ndirectly through the regional port, thereby making the distribution\nchain more efficient and reducing logistics costs. \u2018The more commodities\nexported through Kijing Terminal, the greater the added value the region\nwill enjoy. The port is not merely a place for the entry and exit of\ngoods, but also a driver of regional economic growth and\ncompetitiveness. We will continue to strengthen collaboration with the\ngovernment, regulators, shipping companies, and service users so that\nthe utilisation of Kijing Terminal continues to increase,\u2019 he said. The\nHead of the Pontianak Class II Harbormaster and Port Authority Office,\nCapt.\u00a0Dwi Wahdiana, noted that with the commencement of container\nservices, Kijing Terminal now serves various types of port activities,\nranging from dry bulk, liquid bulk, and multipurpose to container\nservices. \u2018This is a good initial step. Going forward, all parties,\nincluding service users, need to continue synergising to optimise\nservices while always paying attention to operational risk mitigation\nand increasingly better port governance,\u2019 he said. Mempawah Regent\nErlina has consistently supported the optimisation of Kijing Terminal,\nnoting that the local community will also reap positive benefits from\nthe terminal\u2019s improved performance. \u2018The economy in Mempawah will also\ndevelop, especially regarding the increase in the workforce and the ease\nof access for exporting local produce. For this reason, all stakeholders\nmust collaborate, both from the operational side and supporting\ninfrastructure,\u2019 she said. With the commencement of container export\nservices, Kijing Terminal is expected to increasingly serve as an\ninternational trade gateway for West Kalimantan\u2019s leading commodities\nwhile strengthening Indonesia\u2019s position in the national maritime\nlogistics network. To support the smooth flow of goods, Kijing Terminal\nimplements two shipping route schemes: direct call, a direct shipping\nservice specifically for the route to Pasir Gudang, Malaysia, and\ntransshipment, a transit service via Pasir Gudang to expedite delivery\ntimes for commodities destined for China. This marks a new chapter in\nregional logistics efficiency, recording a total export value of USD\n1.21 million or approximately Rp 21.49 billion.<\/p>",
