IPC TPK Records 850,000 TEUs in First Quarter of 2026
Jakarta (ANTARA) - PT IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) recorded a total throughput of 850,768 TEUs in the first quarter of 2026, representing a 0.9% growth compared to the same period in the previous year, which stood at 843,187 TEUs.
“IPC TPK has optimised loading and unloading activities ahead of the restriction period, as well as ensuring the acceleration of goods flow after the restrictions end. This strategy allows us to maintain smooth distribution while minimising potential build-ups at the terminal,” stated Corporate Secretary of IPC TPK, Pramestie Wulandary, in her statement received in Jakarta on Wednesday.
This achievement demonstrates the company’s operational resilience amid logistical dynamics during the Eid al-Fitr momentum, including goods transportation restrictions to support the smooth flow of the national homecoming.
In March 2026, the loading and unloading flow was recorded at 250,352 TEUs, experiencing a decline of around 14% compared to the same period in the previous year at 290,923 TEUs.
Nevertheless, performance in the domestic segment showed a positive trend, with volume growing 3.5% from 623,532 TEUs in March 2025 to 645,084 TEUs in March 2026.
This increase reflects the maintained domestic distribution activities and the driving force of domestic consumption during the Ramadan and Eid al-Fitr period.
In contrast, international container flows experienced a decline from 219,655 TEUs in March 2025 to 205,684 TEUs in March 2026, or down by around 6.4%, influenced by adjustments to global shipping schedules and cross-border goods distribution dynamics during that period.
By region, throughput growth was evenly recorded in several operational areas of IPC TPK, including Tanjung Priok Area with 1% growth, Pontianak Area with 1.6%, Panjang Area with 2%, and Teluk Bayur Area recording the highest growth of 5.3%.
“Going forward, IPC TPK will continue to strengthen collaboration and data-based planning to ensure smooth national logistics and support Indonesia’s economic growth,” stated Pramestie.
