JAKARTA (ISL News) - Three years after the merger on October 1, 2021, Pelindo's assets were recorded to have increased by 6 percent to IDR 123.2 trillion in the first semester of 2024. This asset growth is in line with the strengthening of Pelindo's financial performance over the past three years.
Group Head of Pelindo Corporate Secretariat, Ardhy Wahyu Basuki said that Pelindo's asset growth was driven by, among other things, an increase in fixed assets from investment activities and revenue from the operation of the Belawan New Container Terminal (BNCT) in collaboration with Dubai Port.
"After the merger, Pelindo has successfully recorded several assets obtained from Strategic Projects such as Makassar New Port, Bali Maritime Tourism Hub, Cibitung-Cilincing Toll Road, and continued the Kalibaru Terminal project in Jakarta. In addition, it also executed the operation of BNCT in Medan, which had a positive impact on increasing assets," said Ardhy.
Based on Pelindo's 2021 annual report, Pelindo's assets were recorded at IDR 116.2 trillion, then at the end of 2023 reached IDR 118.3 trillion, and increased again in the first semester of 2024 to IDR 123.2 trillion.
"We continue to strive to improve asset optimization to support the company's operational and financial performance," explained Ardhy.
Based on Pelindo's revenue achievements in 2023, global economic media Fortune placed the company on the Fortune 500 Southeast Asia list in 2024. In this ranking, Pelindo is ranked 5th in the Shipping Industry category in Southeast Asia, and ranked 157th among the 500 companies with the largest revenues in the Southeast Asia region.
Recently, the Ministry of SOEs also announced a list of SOEs with the Largest Tax Contributions and the Largest Profits in 2023, placing Pelindo in 10th position with a tax contribution of IDR 5.6 trillion and 12th position with a profit of IDR 4.01 trillion.
"We are optimistic that Pelindo will continue to grow in the coming years, along with the company's increasingly solid service transformation and business expansion, so that it can further contribute to the Indonesian economy," concluded Ardhy.
