Jakarta, 19 May 2026 – IPC Container Terminal (IPC TPK) opened the Second Quarter of 2026 by recording an increase in operational performance. The throughput realization through April 2026 successfully reached 1,159,575 TEUs, up 6.7% compared to the same period in the previous year of 1,086,766 TEUs.
The increase in IPC TPK’s throughput is in line with the growth trend in national trade. Data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) show that the value of Indonesia’s imports in the January–March 2026 period grew 10.05% year-on-year, while the national trade balance still recorded a surplus of US$5.55 billion.
On the other hand, amid the dynamics of the global supply chain that still face challenges, including rising logistics costs as well as uncertainty in international shipping lanes due to the escalation of conflict in the Middle East region, these conditions have also affected global sea shipping activity and prompted adjustments to a number of international maritime routes. Nevertheless, IPC TPK continues to maintain service reliability and operational efficiency in order to ensure that the smooth flow of goods remains well preserved.
The Senior Manager of the Corporate Secretariat of IPC TPK, Daniel Setiawan, said that the company continues to maintain service optimization and operational efficiency in order to support the smooth flow of national logistics distribution.
“We continue to maintain service optimization and efficiency in order to support the smooth flow of goods as well as to safeguard the competitiveness of national logistics,” said Daniel.
On a year-on-year basis, the performance improvement in April 2026 was very significant, namely 26.78% compared to the previous year. In April 2026, operational performance was recorded at 308,810 TEUs, a rapid increase compared to April 2025, which reached 243,579 TEUs.
The highest increase occurred in the Tanjung Priok region, particularly at IPC TPK Tanjung Priok 2 Area, which grew 36.7%, as well as Tanjung Priok 1 Area at 24.3%. This growth was driven by additional ad hoc services and an increase in volume from a number of shipping lines.
Meanwhile, IPC TPK Palembang Area also recorded growth of 18.7% in line with the increase in export and import activities of a number of commodities such as rubber, wood products, coconut, and metal boxes.
Amid the growth in container flow, IPC TPK also continues to strengthen its strategic measures across various operational regions. In April 2026, IPC TPK Teluk Bayur, together with PTP Nonpetikemas Teluk Bayur Branch, forged a synergy in the utilization of the quay and loading and unloading equipment in order to support the smooth flow of logistics services in West Sumatra.
Meanwhile, IPC TPK Jambi Area also supported the smooth export of cinnamon through the optimization of services at the Container Terminal of Talang Duku Port in order to expand international market access for the region’s flagship commodity.
According to Daniel, the company will continue to focus on maintaining operational stability and infrastructure readiness in order to anticipate the dynamics of the logistics industry going forward.
“We continue to strengthen infrastructure readiness and service standardization across all terminals so that we remain able to maintain the smooth flow of goods amid the continuously evolving dynamics of global logistics,” concluded Daniel.
