JAKARTA INDONESIA (ISL News) - IPC Container Terminal (IPC TPK) continues to record a positive trend in operational performance towards the end of 2025. Throughout the January–November 2025 period, the container volume handled by IPC TPK grew 13.32% to 3,269,607 TEUs, an increase compared to the same period in 2024 of 2,885,249 TEUs.
IPC TPK Corporate Secretary, Pramestie Wulandary, stated that the improved performance reflects the company's consistent commitment to improving service quality and operational effectiveness across all work areas. "Continuously growing performance is an indicator of increasingly efficient logistics flows at the port. For us, performance figures are not merely internal achievements, but a reflection of the smooth distribution of goods from upstream to downstream," she said.
Performance improvements were recorded across nearly all operational areas. The Non-Tanjung Priok area, which includes Sumatra and Pontianak, recorded 11.09% growth in the January–November 2025 period compared to the same period the previous year. Meanwhile, the Tanjung Priok area showed even higher growth, at 13.86%.
This positive performance was driven by increased export activity of several leading commodities across various regions. In Panjang, refined glycerine saw significant growth of 438.6%, followed by a 201% increase in coffee exports. Meanwhile, in Palembang, rubber and coconut exports grew by 119% and 105%, respectively. In West Sumatra, gambier and cassava also saw increases of 58.3% and 25.4%, respectively. At Tanjung Priok, growth was driven by the presence of several new international and domestic services, which strengthened container flows.
Accordingly, data from the Central Statistics Agency (BPS) shows that Indonesia's export value reached US$234.04 billion in the January–October 2025 period, a 6.96% increase compared to the same period in 2024. Non-oil and gas exports reached US$223.12 billion, an 8.42% increase, while imports reached US$198.16 billion, a 2.19% increase. With these achievements, Indonesia's trade balance recorded a surplus of US$35.88 billion.
"Our focus is on maintaining operational reliability to ensure our customers receive service assurance amidst increased port activity. As the year draws to a close, we are ensuring all terminals remain operating optimally to ensure the smooth flow of goods," Pramestie concluded.
