PEKAN BARU (ISL News) - Arief Hermawan, President Director of PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim (PJM), conducted a Management Walkthrough (MWT) at Perawang Port, Pekanbaru, on Thursday (November 5, 2026). The visit aimed to ensure operational readiness, evaluate service processes, and strengthen the implementation of the company's transformation at the operational level.
During the visit, Arief was accompanied by SVP Corporate Secretary Amy Purwa A, SVP K3L and Quality Management Systems Moh. Subiyan, and SM Region 1 Sindu Lusiantoro Pranoto. The activity also involved workers from the Pekanbaru Unit in person and the Sei Pakning Unit online.

In addition to reviewing operational activities, Arief also provided guidance to management and employees regarding the importance of accelerating the company's transformation. In line with Danantara's directive, PJM's transformation is aimed not only at improving business performance but also at strengthening work culture, professionalism, employee competence, and service effectiveness.
"Transformation must be visible in our daily work, not just in achieving company targets. Every operational process must be carried out with discipline, prioritizing safety, and focusing on service quality. We must continue to build an adaptive, collaborative, and professional work culture to make PJM even more competitive," said Arief.
Arief also emphasized the crucial role of all employees in implementing the company's transformation. He stated that successful transformation requires alignment between management policies and implementation on the ground, supported by open communication and effective coordination between work units.
Through MWT activities, management can have direct dialogue with workers, identify operational constraints, and ensure that improvement steps are carried out according to service needs.
This activity is part of PJM's efforts to improve operational reliability, strengthen the work safety culture, and ensure that service standards are consistently applied across the company's operational areas.
With this strengthening, PJM is committed to providing safe, reliable, and efficient maritime services while increasing the company's competitiveness and providing added value for service users.
