IPC Terminal Petikemas Ready to Handle Ramadan Logistics Surge
Ahead of the holy month of Ramadan 1447 Hijriah, IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) is strengthening its operational readiness through enhanced services and optimised terminal facilities to anticipate a potential increase in cargo volumes, particularly basic necessities and consumer commodities.
IPC TPK is collaborating with partner companies to bolster production capacity by deploying two additional rubber-tyred gantry crane (RTGC) units at the Terminal Support Area in Tanjung Priok. The equipment additions are aimed at increasing flexibility in container handling and boosting production capacity at stacking field line two, enabling faster receiving and delivery processes as well as more efficient container arrangement, thereby minimising the risk of congestion during periods of heightened goods flow.
Beyond facility upgrades, IPC TPK is also optimising operational work patterns through adaptive scheduling arrangements, strengthening coordination with port stakeholders, and utilising golden time — periods without vessel activity — for preventive equipment maintenance. Spare parts availability is being ensured to maintain equipment reliability and prevent operational disruptions.
Pramestie Wulandary, Corporate Secretary of IPC TPK, said the company is committed to ensuring that all service processes run optimally throughout Ramadan. Given the predicted increase in field activities, IPC TPK is also tightening oversight of occupational health and safety (K3) aspects to safeguard field staff who are fasting whilst maintaining high productivity levels.
"We are ensuring that all service processes run optimally throughout the holy month of Ramadan," Pramestie stated.
The heightened preparations come against a backdrop of robust throughput growth. Through the end of January 2026, IPC TPK's container throughput reached 299,891 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs), up from 280,743 TEUs in the same period the previous year, representing year-on-year growth of approximately 6.82 per cent.
IPC TPK operates container terminals at six locations across Indonesia: Tanjung Priok (Jakarta), Pontianak (West Kalimantan), Panjang (Lampung), Palembang (South Sumatra), Teluk Bayur (West Sumatra), and Jambi.
