Written by Admin / January 16, 2023

Surabaya (16/01) - Terminal operator company PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP) recorded a flow of containers throughout 2022 of 11.16 million TEUs. This number grew by around 1.08 percent when compared to the same period in 2021 which was recorded at 11.04 million TEUs. The achievement of container flow in 2022 is slightly below the target set by the company of 11.65 million TEUs.

Corporate Secretary of PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas Widyaswendra said that many factors contributed to not achieving the target of the company's container flow. One of them is related to foreign containers which are still affected by the conflict between Russia and Ukraine. In addition, the problem of closing ports due to lockdown policies in a number of cities in China also affected the flow of exports and imports at a number of container terminals in Indonesia.

"Domestic containers have also decreased. This is influenced by a number of factors, one of which is bad weather in several regions in Indonesia," said Widyaswendra, Monday (16/01).
