Indonesia’s state-owned container terminal operator IPC Terminal Petikemas has undergone a three-day security assessment by the National Counter-Terrorism Agency to evaluate compliance with national standards and strengthen protection at the country’s vital port infrastructure.
IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) has completed a three-day assessment of its Security Management System conducted by Indonesia’s National Counter-Terrorism Agency (BNPT), as part of efforts to strengthen security at port facilities designated as national vital assets.
The assessment covered IPC TPK’s operational areas in Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, and included a review of existing security procedures and their implementation across the container terminals.
Yanuar Evyanto, IPC TPK’s director of finance, human resources and risk management, said the assessment would help ensure the company’s security procedures comply with national standards for preventing potential security threats.
“We welcome and appreciate the presence of the BNPT assessment team at IPC TPK. This assessment is a crucial strategic step for us to ensure that all security procedures at our container terminals meet national standards for the prevention of security threats,” Yanuar said.
The assessment began with an opening session and a presentation on security systems implemented across IPC TPK’s Tanjung Priok operations.
On the second day, the BNPT team, accompanied by IPC TPK management, conducted on-site inspections at five operational areas: Tanjung Priok Terminal Zones 1, 2 and 3, the International Terminal and the Domestic Terminal.
The inspections aimed to verify whether security procedures documented by the company were being implemented in daily terminal operations.
The three-day assessment concluded with a presentation of findings by the BNPT team to IPC TPK management, providing an evaluation of the company’s port security management system.
Yanuar said IPC TPK would follow up on the assessment findings by reviewing and improving its existing security guidelines and procedures.
“Moving forward, IPC TPK remains fully committed to fostering a terminal operational environment that is secure, conducive, and free from threats—thereby ensuring absolute security for all service users and supporting the smooth flow of the logistics supply chain in Indonesia,” he said.
The company said its efforts to strengthen port security were intended to support the safety of terminal users and maintain the continuity of Indonesia’s logistics supply chain.
