The visit to Tanjung Priok showcased digital port planning and explored emissions-reduction initiatives and potential logistics partnerships between Indonesia and Japan
IPC Terminal Petikemas (IPC TPK) hosted a delegation from the International Maritime Organization (IMO), Indonesian shipping company PT PBM Dharma Lautan Nusantara and two Japanese logistics firms to showcase its integrated port planning system and explore opportunities to improve operational efficiency and reduce maritime emissions.
The delegation, which included representatives from Daiichi Chuo Kinkai Kaisha and Suzuyo & Co., Ltd., visited IPC TPK’s Integrated Planning & Control facility at Tanjung Priok Terminal to review the company’s centralized approach to port operations.
Daniel Setiawan, senior manager of the corporate secretariat at IPC TPK, said the visit reflected international interest in the company’s digital transformation and centralized planning system.
He said the system was designed to improve operational productivity while addressing challenges facing the global logistics industry.
Discussions with the IMO delegation focused on potential cooperation in implementing the Blue Solutions Project in Indonesia, an initiative linked to efforts to reduce emissions from maritime transport.
IPC TPK presented its Integrated Planning & Control system as a tool for coordinating vessel berthing and cargo handling in real time. More efficient planning can help reduce vessel waiting and idle times, potentially lowering fuel consumption and exhaust emissions in port areas.
The visit also provided representatives from the Japanese logistics firms with an opportunity to observe port operations and assess IPC TPK’s planning and service systems.
According to IPC TPK, the visit could provide a starting point for exploring future business cooperation and strengthening logistics connections between Indonesia and Japan.
The company said its integrated planning approach was intended to support more transparent, reliable and efficient port operations while contributing to wider maritime sustainability goals.
Daniel said IPC TPK hoped collaboration among international maritime organizations, logistics companies and port operators would help create a more efficient and environmentally sustainable maritime sector.
