Pelindo Oversees Teluk Lamong Flyover Readiness to Strengthen East Java Logistics
PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), through its subsidiary PT Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva, is overseeing operational preparations for the Teluk Lamong flyover (FOTL) following the completion of construction, in order to strengthen connectivity and smooth logistics flows in East Java.
Dewi Fitriyani, Senior Vice President of Corporate Secretariat at Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva (PSL), said the company continues to support enhanced connectivity in port-based strategic areas to facilitate the flow of goods, strengthen regional integration, and improve regional competitiveness.
“One of the strategic infrastructures now entering the operational preparation stage is the Teluk Lamong flyover, which has been physically completed. This is connectivity infrastructure linking Teluk Lamong Terminal with the main road network around it,” Dewi said in a statement in Jakarta on Monday.
The infrastructure has reached 100 per cent physical progress and is currently in the operational preparation stage before it can be fully utilised to support smooth logistics and port activities in East Java.
Dewi said the development of the FOTL forms part of efforts to strengthen connections between the port, industrial estates, distribution centres, and the main transport network.
Integrated connectivity is an important factor in creating efficiency in the movement of goods, reducing logistical obstacles, and supporting supply chains in the port’s hinterland.
As a Pelindo subsidiary focused on port support services and integrated area development, PSL, through its business entity PT Akses Pelabuhan Indonesia (API), is also supporting pre-operational readiness for the Teluk Lamong flyover.
This support involves ensuring all technical, operational, safety, and governance aspects of the FOTL’s operation are prepared according to established standards before the infrastructure officially begins operating.
“Going forward, the FOTL is also planned to be integrated with the West Outer Ring Road (JLLB), Gelora Bung Tomo access, and the Romokalisari Toll Road,” she explained.
This integration is expected to strengthen hinterland connectivity, support smooth distribution of goods, and improve logistics movement efficiency in East Java and its surroundings.
Dewi said the development of connectivity towards port areas is a key element in creating an integrated, value-adding port ecosystem.
In addition, the construction of this access infrastructure has long been awaited by service users, as it will smooth access to Teluk Lamong Port, which currently experiences very heavy traffic.
“A port does not only function as a transport node, but also as a driver of regional growth,” she asserted.
Therefore, Dewi continued, the company continues to support infrastructure and connectivity development that strengthens the integration of port areas with industrial, trade, and port service activities, so as to create sustainable added value for the national and regional economies.
She added that the company will continue to support the development of port-based area connectivity through collaboration with various stakeholders.
These efforts form part of the company’s commitment to delivering integrated infrastructure to support smooth logistics, strengthen regional connections, and foster an increasingly efficient and competitive port ecosystem.
