The impact of global financial crisis in the United States has not been felt yet in the activities at Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT). The terminal operator currently even prepares the anticipation to face the skyrocketing of cargo throughput by the end of 2008.
Wisnu Pranoto, Commercial Director of JICT told Ocean Week recently that the company currently concentrates on its performance.. It included preparing the anticipation if there would be skyrocketing of container throughput in November and December 2008 via JICT.
“The third wee of October 2008 (after the Iedl Fitri days), the activities in JICT start to be normal and container throughput has begun to increase. YOR now is still normal, around 60%,” he said.
According to him, who is also ex-General Manager of Pontianak Port , in two weeks after Iedl Fitri, the activity via this terminal was a bit down, because the containers that should be shipped to Jakarta were still held in Port Kalng as well as in other ports.
As an effort to anticipate the high increase at the end of 2008, he has prepared several things, such as preparing more container yard spaces.
Wisnu was optimistic that the target of production that was 1.980 million TEUs this year via JICT was possibly to be realized. He expected that it could break 2 million TEUs. When answering the question about the implementation of CHC tariff hike in Tanjung Priok from US$70 to US$83 per September 1, which then delayed to October 1, Wisnu clearly stated there’s no delaying anymore for the implementation of CHC hike. But within the one-month transition period, JICT would provide discount. “However, per October 1, 2008, the new CHC tariff is fully applied,” he said.
In the near future, Wisnu Pranoto said, JICT management would add more facilities to anticipate the growth of container throughput. Starting next year (2009) more heavy equipment would come, such as 4 more Container Cranes (CC), 18 RTGs, and 100 Head Trucks. Then, in 2011, there would be more 12.4 hectares container yard. In 2008, the expansion works has reached 3 hectares. Then, there would be also new gates in 2011, gate in from 12 to be 24, and gate out would be 12. So, total there would be 36 gates.
“It’s expected that by adding more facilities, after 2011, JICT will be already able to handle around 2.8 million TEUs,” Wisnu said.
