As an effort to improve service to its customers, the management of PT AIRIN (Indonesian Air & Marine Supply) has expanded its container yard to 2.2 hectares more with total investment value of Rp 4.5 billion. It also plans to add one unit of reach-stacker with 45 tons capacity in 2009.
Container yard expansion was intended to anticipate whenever Yard Occupancy Ratio (YOR) at Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) and in Koja Container terminal (TPK Koja) was too high, which usually forced the two terminal operators to overbrengen (relocate) the containers to a Temporary Container Yard (TPS) nearby.
Sukardjo, the President Director of PT AIRIN who was accompanied by Sigit Slamet Haryadi (Human Resources and General Affairs Manager) told the Ocean Week that in order to provide and increase its services to the port users, AIRIN has prepared several suitable facilities. “Our container yard has been expanded to reach 6 hectares. In 2009, we plan to add one more reach stacker,” he said.
The decision to expand container yard was taken because PT AIRIN management saw that container depot business was quite prospective. “We have held plenty of cooperation with other private firms in the operation of our installed facilities, such as PT Transporindo, PT Transworld Centralindo Logistics and others,” he said.
However, for the operation of TPS, AIRIN decided to operate it personally, because the TPS has got license from the Ministry of Finance No. 4674/KPU.01/2008 dated September 2008. Meanwhile, for its operational license, it has been given by the Customs Office of Type A Primary Office in Tanjung Priok number S-2334/KPU.01/BD.07/2008 dated September 24 2008.
Sukardjo felt optimistic that with the current facilities, AIRIN would be able to backup export-import containers, including container behandling activities in JICT, which so far was focused in PT Graha Segara. In addition, the location of AIRIN to JICT and TPK Koja is only 1 kilometer.
Meanwhile, Sigit Haryadi revealed that the company has succeeded to exceeding the revenues target in 2008. “In the company’s working and budgeting plan (RKAP) 2008, it was set at Rp 21 billion. But the target now has been exceeded at the seventh month of 2008, so the company now should set higher target next year,” he said.
PT AIRIN, which in the early of its establishment in the 1970s was focused on the ship’s expedition and warehousing, now following the business development in Priok, has changed to be TPS.
Sukardjo also added that the company observed that it needed to hold business diversification, so it decided to enter fumigation and agency business. “Fumigation business has got approval from the Ministry of Agriculture,” he said.
It is expected that the diversification would enable the company to remain existed in the future, so that AIRIN might enjoy a little bit of container throughput via Tanjung Priok, which currently is around 3 million TEUs.
