JAKARTA (ISL News) - Supply Chain Indonesia (SCI) appreciates Tanjung Priok Port for reaching 23rd position in the global ranking of container ports. This achievement is extraordinary because in 2022 the port will be ranked 281st. Tanjung Priok Port is now ranked third in the ASEAN region after the Port of Tanjung Pjauh Malaysia and Singapore.
Founder and CEO SCI Setijadi said this in connection with the recent release of The Container Port Performance Index (CPPI) 2023 by the World Bank Group together with S&P Global Market Intelligence.
The release also noted the ranking of several other major sea ports in Indonesia, namely Tanjung Perak Port ranked 101, Tanjung Emas Port ranked 150, and Belawan Port ranked 308.
Setijadi stated that comparing the performance of container ports globally is important to encourage improvements in port performance which will influence logistics performance through increasing the efficiency of shipping time and costs, as well as reducing uncertainty and disruption in the supply chain.
The performance of container ports greatly influences the competitiveness of products and commodities in the global supply chain, because as stated in the release, more than 80 percent of global trade volume is sent via sea transportation and more than 60 percent of shipping is by container.
