The contribution of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), or Pelindo, to the state rose 5% to Rp7.81 trillion during the 2025 financial year. This amount comprises tax payments, dividends, Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP), and concession fees. The realisation was disclosed at the Annual General Meeting of Shareholders (RUPST) for the 2025 financial year held on Wednesday (17/6/2026). In line with the increased state contribution, Pelindo also posted positive business performance. Throughout 2025, the company recorded operating revenue of Rp35.48 trillion, growing 9% compared to the previous year. This result was underpinned by growth in port activities as well as improved productivity and operational efficiency across various ports managed by Pelindo. Pelindo President Director Achmad Muchtasyar stated that the achievement was the outcome of the company’s ongoing transformation to strengthen the competitiveness of national ports. ‘This achievement is the result of the transformation efforts that Pelindo continues to pursue to enhance service quality, operational productivity, and deliver broader added value for the state and society,’ Achmad said in a written statement on Wednesday (17/6/2026). The performance growth was also reflected in operational indicators throughout 2025. Container throughput reached 19.8 million TEUs, growing 5% year-on-year. Ship calls reached 1.42 billion GT and passenger traffic reached 20.4 million people, increasing by 1% and 5% respectively compared to the previous year. The positive momentum continued into 2026. Up to May 2026, Pelindo again recorded growth in several operational indicators compared to the same period the previous year. Container throughput up to May 2026 reached 8.21 million TEUs, growing 7% year-on-year (YoY). This growth was driven by a 10% increase in international container flows, while domestic flows grew 4%. In the same period, ship calls reached 563 million GT, up 1%, while passenger traffic reached 9.45 million people, growing 7% compared to the same period last year. He said these achievements indicate that logistics, trade, and public mobility activities through ports remain positive amid global economic and international trade dynamics. ‘The performance growth at the start of 2026 shows that Pelindo’s transformation is on the right track. Going forward, we will continue to strengthen services, enhance the competitiveness of national ports, and support the smooth flow of supply chains and Indonesia’s economic growth,’ Achmad explained. Through the 2025 RUPST, Pelindo also reaffirmed its commitment to continuing various strategic programmes focused on increasing port capacity and service quality, business process digitalisation, and improving maritime connectivity. Ultimately, these initiatives are expected to further strengthen Pelindo’s role as a driver of national connectivity, while creating sustainable added value for the state, service users, and all stakeholders.
