        "content": "<p>Finance Minister Purbaya Yudhi Sadewa has revealed the causes behind\nthe accumulation of thousands of containers at Tanjung Priok Port. He\nmade these remarks following a direct inspection of the Tanjung Priok\nContainer Terminal on Saturday (6\/6\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya explained that one of the primary causes is a surge in the\nvolume of incoming imported goods in recent periods. As a result, he\nnoted, the processes for service and cargo release have become slower,\nleading to container congestion within the port area.<\/p>\n<p>In addition to the import surge, Purbanya also discovered that\ncertain goods have completed the administrative process but have not\nbeen promptly collected by their owners. He stated that some importers\nallow goods to remain at the port for extended periods.<\/p>\n<p>He suspects that several business actors are intentionally leaving\ngoods at the port because storage fees are deemed cheaper than renting\nwarehouses outside the port area.<\/p>\n<p>Purbaya emphasised that such practices cannot be permitted, as they\nhave the potential to hinder the smooth operation of loading, unloading,\nand national logistics distribution.<\/p>\n<p>Consequently, Purbaya has requested the Directorate General of\nCustoms and Excise to review new regulations regarding the time limits\nfor goods storage at the port. The government is also considering the\nimposition of sanctions on goods that remain stagnant for too long.<\/p>",
