PT Terminal Teluk Lamong handled 2.29 million twenty-foot equivalent units through September 2026, as new international shipping services and stronger domestic cargo flows boosted terminal activity
PT Terminal Teluk Lamong (TTL), which operates three container terminals in East Java, handled 2,299,342 twenty-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in the first nine months of 2026, up 12.54% from the same period last year.
The increase reflects stronger container traffic and efforts to improve vessel turnaround times, expand shipping connections and optimize operations at TPK Teluk Lamong, TPK Nilam and TPK Berlian, the company said.
TTL recorded a monthly performance record in July, with loading and unloading activity continuing to show growth in August and September.
“The growing number of vessels and clients entrusting their logistics operations to our terminals reflects their confidence in TTL,” said Dahlia Permata Sari, the company’s corporate communications manager.
“This trust must be met with services that are increasingly fast, secure and reliable,” she said.
New international services support growth
International container traffic contributed to the increase, with two new shipping services, CSE and SCJX, introduced between January and September to strengthen TPK Teluk Lamong’s connections to global trade networks.
The terminal also handled 25 non-regular international vessel calls during the period, with a combined cargo volume of 16,014 TEUs, the company said.
TTL aims to attract more shipping lines by improving terminal facilities, vessel services and cargo-handling efficiency, Dahlia said.
A broader range of shipping services could give businesses in East Java more options for transporting goods to and from international markets.
TPK Nilam, which handles domestic containers, processed 415,082 TEUs through September, up from 357,536 TEUs a year earlier, an increase of about 16.1%.
The growth was partly driven by higher cargo volumes on Caraka Tirta Perkasa’s service to Makassar and Meratus’s service to Kendari, the company said.
Service optimization for Tanto vessels operating routes to Ambon and Sorong also supported cargo distribution to eastern Indonesia.
At TPK Berlian, TTL is focusing on improving berth utilization, optimizing loading and unloading equipment, and managing vessel operations to maintain productivity and reduce turnaround times.
Focus extends beyond container volumes
The company said integrated management of the three terminals allows it to adjust capacity and services to the needs of different market segments.
Dahlia said the company was seeking to improve service quality alongside throughput growth, emphasizing the role of terminal operations in the broader supply chain.
“Every container we handle is a link in the supply chain and a component of economic activity,” she said, adding that performance should be measured not only by volume but also by the quality of service provided to vessels and customers.
TTL plans to continue expanding shipping connectivity, improving terminal productivity and optimizing existing facilities to sustain growth and strengthen its competitiveness in the logistics sector.
The company said the three terminals would continue supporting domestic distribution and international trade through integrated operations.
