A Year of Merger, Pelindo Saves Up To Hundreds Of Billions

Surabaya, October 6, 2022 - The merger of BUMN Pelindo on October 1, 2021 is said to be able to provide savings for the company. One of the savings is obtained from asset optimization carried out by the subholding PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP). During the year, the savings from asset optimization are said to be at least Rp500 billion.

SPTP Corporate Secretary Widyawendra said the value of the savings was obtained from a number of equipment relocations carried out by the company. The relocation of port support equipment is carried out by the SPTP to meet the minimum requirements for equipment at the container terminal in need. Until September 2022, at least SPTP has relocated 3 units of container lifting equipment on the pier (quay container crane/QCC), 4 units of container lifting equipment in the stacking field (rubber tyred gantry/RTG).

"This asset optimization is carried out to support the standardization of container terminals by meeting the minimum requirements for equipment, rather than having to make new purchases through procurement which requires large costs and a lot of time," said Widyaswendra, Thursday (06/10).

It is stated that the new value of the QCC type tool ranges from Rp. 140 billion to Rp. 160 billion per unit. Meanwhile, for the type of RTG, it ranges from Rp. 40 billion to 50 billion. The number of assets optimized by PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas until 2025 reaches 99 equipment which will be relocated to a number of container terminals throughout the company's work area.
