The domestic container handling charge (CHC) at Tanjung Priok will rise by 15% next month after some associations at the port signed an agreement on domestic CHC adjustment on August 16, 2022. The new CHC will be effective on September 15, 2022, as it needs one month for socialization.
The agreement was signed by Indonesia Stevedoring Companies’ Association (APBMI), Indonesia National Shipowners’ Association (INSA), and Indonesia Logistics and Forwarders Association (ALFI/ILFA).
The document was signed at the office of Tanjung Priok Port Authority by the chairman for each association for chapter Jakarta: Chairman of APBMI DKI Jakarta Sodik Harjono, ALFI DKI Jakarta Adil Karim, and chairman of INSA Jaya Capt. Alimudin.
The agreement was acknowledged by the Head of Tanjung Priok Port Authority, Capt. Wisnu Handoko and General Manager PT Pelindo Regional 2 Tanjung Priok, M. Hadi Syafitri Noor and witnessed by know General Chairman of APBMI, Juswandi Kristanto.
After talking to the press after the assignment, Wisnu explained why the stakeholders took this decision (tariff/charge increase). He names at least five factors, including the inflation rate, fuel increase due to the global oil price hike, labor wage increase including docker’s wage, higher investment spending for the improved level of service, and digitalization in port that creates extra cost.
“We understand that now is a hard time for business, including logistics, due to the global economic disruptions. The pandemic Covid-19 outbreak and geopolitical tension have disrupted economic activities, including logistics and transportation. No doubt, these situations, unfortunately, threaten businesses, including the ones doing business in Tanjung Priok. What we decide (CHC adjustment) today is an effort to support the business survive,” said Wisnu.
Hadi Syafitri Noor appreciates the collaboration among port stakeholders, especially in the tariff (CHC) adjustment agreement. He echoes Wisnu that Priok has continued to invest, thus improving the port productivity.
Meanwhile, Adil Karim explained that ALFI/ILFA understands the situation. He said they had discussed this years ago, but the pandemic Covid-19 outbreak forced them to postpone making a decision until now.
“We (ALFI/ILFA) understand this. Moreover, there has been no adjustment since 2016, though the regulation allows to do it every two years. The process has been done according to the mechanism,” he said.
But, Adil urges the stevedoring companies (terminal operators) to continue improving the level of service.
Juswandi Kristanto, General Chairman of APBMI, underlined that the stevedoring companies’ (container terminal) expenses had significantly increased over the last several years. He said the dockers (TKBM) wage has been growing by 45%, fuel increased by 125%, and inflation by 19.46%.
