The highest increases occurred in the Tanjung Priok area, particularly in the IPC TPK Tanjung Priok Area 2, which grew 36.7%, and Tanjung Priok Area 1, which grew 24.3%. This growth was driven by additional ad hoc services and increased volumes from several shipping lines .
Meanwhile, the IPC TPK Palembang Area also recorded growth of 18.7% along with increasing export and import activities of a number of commodities such as rubber , wood products , coconut , and metal boxes .
Amidst the growing flow of containers, IPC TPK continues to strengthen its strategic initiatives across its various operational areas.
