First Quarter of 2023, Pelindo Regional 4 Records Total Goods Reaching 168.24%

MAKASSAR, 7 June 2023 - PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero) Regional 4 noted that the number of loading and unloading of goods at all managed ports in eastern Indonesia reached 168.24% in the first quarter of this year compared to the same period last year. As of April 2023, the number of goods that disembark and board ships at ports in Regional 4 is 14,904,734 tons/m3. Of course, the smooth distribution of goods in all ports in 11 provinces in Eastern Indonesia (KTI) has sparked this quite significant achievement.

However, not only loading and unloading of goods, as of April 2023 or in the first quarter of this year Pelindo Regional 4 also noted that passenger flows also experienced quite high achievements compared to the first quarter of 2022. Where the number of passengers going up and down at the port managed by Pelindo in Regional 4 was recorded as many as 1,936,723 people or reached 129.79% compared to the same period last year. Regional Head 4 of Pelindo Enriany Muis said, the increase in performance was of course also supported by the accelerated port stay and cargo stay which was increasingly showing significant changes in all the main managed ports in Regional 4.

"After the merger, Pelindo, especially Regional 4, has indeed focused on implementing change management which aims at national standards based on planning and controlling as well as cooperation with subholdings," Enriany explained. According to him, this has an impact on port performance. He gave an example, currently at the Port of Ambon, the port stay which was previously 3 days, has now been reduced to only 1 ½ days. Then also at Makassar Port, previously the port stay was 2 days, now it is only 1 day and at Tolitoli Port from 3 days to 2 days.

Service Standardization Pelindo Regional 4 Operations Division Head, Yusida M. Palesang added, "To support the achievement of optimal performance, we have also carried out service standardization and digitalization."
