Jakarta, 12 April 2023 - 2022 will be the first year after the merger of PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) / Pelindo with the company's success in recording efficiency and optimization of IDR 1.3 trillion. This achievement largely came from consolidating and optimizing Pelindo's financial capacity, including optimizing financing, relocating assets, and implementing joint procurement, which resulted in stronger financial capacity as well as integrated asset optimization.

"This achievement is a reflection of the benefits of the Pelindo merger which can only be obtained through synergies between Pelindo Group entities so that the management of all company resources can be carried out more efficiently and provide maximum revenue contribution to the country," said Arif Suhartono, Main Director of Pelindo, at the event. Media Gathering in Jakarta (12/04).

Arif also explained that with centralized management, Pelindo now has better strategic control, making it easier to transform end-to-end operating services such as creating a standardized port operational service system which previously varied between ports. Some of the standardized systems are TOS Nusantara for container services, NPK TOS for non-container services and Phinisi for ship services.

“This transformation has brought benefits to various parties. For Pelindo itself, for example, there has been an increase in operational cost efficiency, potential for additional traffic, increased competency and knowledge. For customers, reducing port stays and cargo stays, for example, can help reduce ship rental and operating costs for shipping line companies, which in turn are expected to contribute to reducing logistics costs and supporting maritime connectivity," he added.
