PTP Nonpetikemas, a subsidiary of PT Pelindo Multi Terminal, has reinforced its role in supporting the national industrial supply chain. This was achieved through handling the import unloading of 21,612 tonnes of steel billet and other commodities at the PTP Nonpetikemas Tanjung Priok Branch wharf in North Jakarta on Tuesday, 26 May 2026, using eco-friendly loading and unloading equipment.

The steel billet raw material was transported using the MV Shanghai Bulker vessel, with a length overall (LOA) of 190 metres, arriving from Nansha Port in China. The cargo is destined for PT The Master Steel Manufactory as part of efforts to sustain the supply of raw materials for the national manufacturing and steel industries.

Loading and unloading operations were conducted with adequate eco-friendly facilities and operational equipment to ensure a safe, smooth, and productive process. Handling this large volume of steel billet underscores PTP Nonpetikemas Tanjung Priok Branch’s readiness to serve national strategic commodity logistics.

PTP Nonpetikemas Tanjung Priok Branch Manager Ruly Arief Dwiyana stated that the activity reflects the company’s commitment to providing reliable and efficient multipurpose terminal services for industrial needs while being environmentally friendly. “To strengthen eco-friendly operational services, PTP Nonpetikemas Tanjung Priok Branch has electrified port loading and unloading equipment,” he said.

Today’s steel billet unloading, he clarified, demonstrates the company’s commitment to supporting the smooth distribution of industrial raw materials through environmentally friendly, safe, productive operational services prioritising zero accidents. Additionally, this aligns with the implementation of ISO 14001 environmental management systems, PROPER assessments, emission control, energy efficiency, waste management based on the 3R principle (reduce, reuse, recycle), and optimisation of eco-friendly loading and unloading processes.

Operationally, PTP Nonpetikemas Tanjung Priok Branch has implemented various innovations, including LED lighting, overhead cranes (OHC) to reduce reliance on fossil fuel-powered equipment, and the electrification of loading and unloading machinery such as Gantry Luffing Cranes (GLC) as part of a transition to low-emission operations.

In line with strengthening operational services, PTP Nonpetikemas continues to enhance service quality and infrastructure readiness to support national logistics needs, particularly strategic industrial sectors driving Indonesia’s economic growth.

Fiona Sari Utami, Company Secretary of PTP Nonpetikemas, stated that the industrial commodity handling activities highlight the critical role of multipurpose terminals in supporting national logistics connectivity and raw material distribution. “As part of the Pelindo Group, PTP Nonpetikemas consistently delivers reliable and integrated multipurpose terminal services to support the distribution of strategic commodities, including steel industry raw materials that contribute to strengthening the national manufacturing sector,” Fiona said.
