Jakarta, June 15, 2026 – IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) recorded a 6.1 percent year-on-year increase in cumulative container throughput during the January–May 2026 period, handling a total of 1,492,721 TEUs, up from 1,406,875 TEUs in the corresponding period of 2025.
In May 2026 alone, IPC TPK posted a 4 percent increase in operational throughput, handling 333,146 TEUs compared with 320,109 TEUs in May 2025. The growth reflects rising cargo distribution activities and international trade volumes ahead of the mid-year period.
Daniel Setiawan, Senior Manager of Corporate Secretariat at IPC TPK, said that the company’s operational readiness and terminal facilities have played a vital role in maintaining smooth logistics flows amid increasing container traffic.
“The increase in logistics activities during May 2026 encouraged us to further optimize terminal services across all IPC TPK operational areas. Operational readiness remains the key to ensuring cargo flows continue safely, efficiently, and without disruption,” Daniel said.
Container traffic growth was recorded across several of the company’s operational areas. During May 2026, Panjang Area posted the highest monthly growth at 18.8 percent, followed by Jambi Area with 15.4 percent. Meanwhile, Tanjung Priok Area 1 and Tanjung Priok Area 2 recorded growth of 5.5 percent and 5.8 percent, respectively, compared with the same month last year.
On a cumulative basis through May 2026, Tanjung Priok Area 1 recorded the strongest growth at 9.7 percent, followed by Panjang Area (7.4 percent), Tanjung Priok Area 2 (5.6 percent), Pontianak Area (3.0 percent), and Jambi Area (1.1 percent).
The sustained growth was also supported by IPC TPK’s strategic efforts to expand its international shipping network. In May 2026, the company officially welcomed the South China Java X-Press (SCJX) service operated by X-Press Feeders, providing a direct connection between Indonesia and South China. The launch of the service reflects the continued growth in trade activity and the increasing demand for logistics connectivity between Indonesia and China.
IPC TPK’s positive performance is in line with Indonesia’s improving trade outlook. According to data from Statistics Indonesia (BPS), the country’s exports reached US$92.15 billion during the January–April 2026 period, representing a 5.48 percent increase compared with the same period in the previous year.
IPC TPK will continue strengthening service efficiency, operational readiness, and shipping connectivity to support the smooth flow of the national supply chain and facilitate the continued growth of international trade.
“By consistently enhancing service quality and pursuing operational excellence, IPC TPK is confident that it will continue making a positive contribution to Indonesia’s logistics ecosystem and deliver greater value to all of our customers and business partners,” Daniel concluded.
