East Java Multipurpose Terminal receives its first container ship

International Container Terminal Services Inc's (ICTSI) East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT) has received its first container ship, with the XinYi Glass making its inaugural call to Indonesia.

“We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT Chief Executive Officer. “Having handled our first container call, alongside multiple project vessels, we have demonstrated our capability as a fully multipurpose terminal that can accommodate all types of cargo. We are ready to support East Java.”

EJMT is equipped with two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbour cranes – the largest port equipment in East Java. The terminal has four 30 cu m and 12 cu m grabs and two 60 cu m automated anti-dust hoppers for bulk operations, as well as two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers.

EJMT, located 60 kms northwest of Surabaya, is a joint venture between International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and East Log Holdings, an Indonesian company specialising in offshore oil and gas supply bases.

As the new gateway to East Java, EJMT, within the 80-hectare Lamongan Shorebase complex which supports Indonesia’s specialised offshore oil and gas industry, will serve hinterland customers in both domestic and international markets.
