As the manager of the Kijing Terminal, PTP Nonpetikemas Pontianak Branch affirms its commitment to maintaining the reliability of operational services, occupational safety, and increasing terminal productivity to support the smooth flow of logistics in the West Kalimantan region, especially in Mempawah Regency and its surroundings.
PTP Nonpetikemas President Director, Indra Hidayat Sani, said that the visit of the Pelindo President Director was a positive encouragement for all PTP Nonpetikemas employees in strengthening the role of Kijing Terminal as a strategic logistics hub in the western region of Indonesia.

"We are committed to making Kijing Terminal efficient, reliable, and competitive. By improving operational performance and optimizing assets, we are optimistic that this terminal can drive more efficient logistics flows, open new business opportunities, and create a sustainable economic impact for the people of West Kalimantan," he added.
