AMBON INDONESIA (ISL News) – PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) through the Ambon Container Terminal (TPK) distributed Social and Environmental Responsibility (TJSL) assistance in early 2026. The assistance provided included 100 basic food packages, compensation, educational assistance, and support for the construction of houses of worship for the community around the operational area of the Ambon Container Port.
100 basic food packages were distributed in Kudamati Village. Assistance was distributed to the Ambon Blessings Service House Foundation, while assistance for a place of worship was provided to the Nurul Huda Mosque in Jalan Baru Village, Ambon.

"Our routine TJSL programs include donations to orphans, educational assistance, basic food aid, support for places of worship, and other assistance programs as a manifestation of the company's concern," Yandi said.
Yandi also explained that the Ambon TPK is also implementing a coastal community empowerment program through the development of lobster cultivation in Poka Village. This program is a synergy between Pelindo Terminal Petikemas Ambon, BPPSDMKP, BPPP Ambon, and Mutiara Pelindo to support community economic empowerment.
"The assistance distributed includes cultivation facilities and infrastructure, lobster seeds, and training for coastal fishermen and women's groups," he added.
