"SPJM as an inseparable part of Pelindo, can maintain the profitability of the profit achievement in 2023 and strive earnestly, from year to year since it was formed after the Pelindo merger, maintaining its commitment to continue to organize services to improve from day to day," said Arief Prabowo, President Director of Pelindo Jasa Maritim.
"In 2023, SPJM pocketed business revenues that grew 104.98 percent of the budget," continued Arief.
The profit achievement is a contribution from various services provided by SPJM, with 3 (three) main services dominating, including the delay service which was realized at 150.70% of the budget, the electricity service which achieved 103.16% of the budget target, and the fuel surcharge service which is dominant in SPJM, as well as its two subsidiaries, JAI and PMS.
"We hope to continue to support economic growth through the Company's role as a service provider in the maritime sector, especially in terms of ship services, port equipment services, and utility services, all of which are expected to maintain port performance in Indonesia," Arief continued.

This achievement also shows the effectiveness of centralized and standardized operational management in each port, including the support of the latest Phinnisi technology, which is an end-to-end ship service operating system platform , which is one of the pillars in realizing the objectives of the National Logistic Ecosystem (NLE), has succeeded in providing a significant impact on the shipping and logistics industry, significant cost efficiency and service time.
By continuously maintaining equipment availability, ports can play a full role in reducing port stay (the length of time a ship waits at the port) and cargo stay (the length of time a cargo is needed at the port). These two things greatly contribute to national logistics performance which of course also has an impact on the nation's economic growth.
