SURABAYA (ISL News) - PT Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL) recorded positive performance in managing container flows during the period from January to October 2026. The total container flow served through three terminals, namely TPK Teluk Lamong, TPK Nilam, and TPK Berlian, reached 2,579,339 TEUs or grew 12.2% compared to the same period in 2025 of 2,298,980 TEUs.
This growth was supported by the positive performance of all terminals. TPK Teluk Lamong recorded container throughput of 936,231 TEUs, a 22% increase compared to the same period last year. Meanwhile, TPK Nilam recorded 464,966 TEUs, a 16% increase, and TPK Berlian reached 1,178,142 TEUs, a 4% increase.
Positive performance is also reflected in the increase in international container traffic at the Teluk Lamong Port. As of October 2026, international container volume reached 480,293 TEUs, a 67% increase compared to the same period the previous year of 288,156 TEUs. This growth was due to the service of 26 international ad hoc container vessel calls from January to October 2026.
This increase in ad hoc vessel services is an indication of the growing trust of international service users in TPK Teluk Lamong. It also demonstrates the terminal's ability to respond to the increasingly dynamic demand for international container loading and unloading services.
In line with the increase in international container throughput, East Java's international trade activity also showed an upward trend compared to 2025. According to data from the East Java Central Statistics Agency (BPS), as of the third quarter of 2026, exports were recorded at approximately US$21.26 billion, while imports reached approximately US$24.89 billion. The total value of East Java's foreign trade during that period reached approximately US$46.15 billion, up from approximately US$44.49 billion in the previous period.
In domestic services, TTL also recorded positive growth. As of October 2026, domestic container traffic reached 2,099,047 TEUs, a 4% increase compared to the same period the previous year. This achievement reflects the strategic role of TPK Berlian, TPK Nilam, and TPK Teluk Lamong.
The TTL terminals support the smooth flow of domestic containers and connect various regions in western and eastern Indonesia. Through the service and operational network of the three terminals, TTL helps strengthen inter-island trade connectivity, supporting the smooth flow of supply chains in East Java and nationally.
PT Terminal Teluk Lamong's Director of Operations, Fahrus Salam, stated that this achievement requires consistency in maintaining service quality. "Increased container flow requires improved operational management. We continue to strengthen the integration between planning, control, and field supervision to ensure each process is more effective and measurable. This way, productivity can continue to improve without compromising the quality of service to our customers," said Fahrus Salam.
Moving forward, TTL is committed to continuously strengthening its competitiveness by improving service quality, optimizing operational capacity, and strengthening collaboration with all stakeholders. As part of the East Java logistics ecosystem, TTL will continue to play a role in facilitating trade flows and strengthening interregional connectivity through reliable, productive, and efficient container terminal services.
In line with the spirit of the 81st Anniversary of East Java Province, "East Java is Superior, Sustainably Advanced", TTL is optimistic that it can continue to make a real contribution to the East Java economy by supporting the smooth flow of supply chains, strengthening logistics connectivity, and increasing national and international trade activities.
