Tracing the Unloading of Mahindra Scorpio Pickups in Tanjung Priok

REPUBLIKA.CO.ID, JAKARTA – Activities in the Tanjung Priok port area, North Jakarta, appeared normal on Wednesday (25/2/2026). Container trucks were coming and going in the container terminal area as usual, but the rows of Mahindra Scorpio pickup trucks that have been the subject of much discussion were not visible being unloaded.

Republika’s efforts to trace the vehicles to several docks and areas around the vehicle terminal did not reveal any visible unloading activity. Several areas within the port were also marked as restricted areas with limited access.

Republika asked security officers at several entry points to the port area about the location of the units. However, they claimed not to know the exact location of the pickup trucks, which were reportedly unloaded in a shipment of 1,000 units.

“Here, most of the cars are local, not (from India),” said a security officer at the location on Wednesday (25/2/2026).

The officer then suggested that the search be conducted at the IKT dock, which he said was often used for unloading imported vehicles.

“Yes, try looking at IKT, there are none here,” he said.

Meanwhile, another security officer at IKT confirmed that most imported cars are usually unloaded at the dock. However, he emphasised that media coverage in the area requires special permission from the management.

“So, if you want to take pictures or videos here, there are rules,” he said.

“All the cars from abroad come from here, but I don’t know the details. There are many from abroad, not just from India,” he added.

When asked about the reported arrival of around 1,000 Scorpio pickup trucks, the officer did not give a definite answer. “The ship that unloaded today is the Mercury ship owned by BKJ, but I don’t know what cars it was, there are many, and I don’t know about yesterday,” he said.
