Indonesia’s Terminal Teluk Lamong is expanding equipment electrification, shore power, solar energy and environmental programmes as the country pursues its 2060 net-zero target.
Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation has backed efforts by PT Terminal Teluk Lamong to cut emissions through equipment electrification, renewable energy and environmental management as the country works toward its 2060 net-zero emissions target.
Dr. Capt. Antoni Arif Priadi, the ministry’s Expert Staff for Technology and Energy, inspected the terminal’s Green Port initiatives during a visit on Thursday, including electric container-handling equipment, energy efficiency, digitalisation and environmental management.
Antoni inspected electric-powered container loading and unloading equipment operating at the wharf and container yard, which the company says is intended to reduce emissions and improve energy efficiency.
He also highlighted the terminal’s cooperation with Indonesia’s National Research and Innovation Agency (BRIN) to assess biodiversity and map marine biota in waters surrounding the terminal.
“The use of environmentally friendly energy, combined with research collaboration on coastal ecosystems with BRIN, is tangible evidence of TTL’s commitment to becoming a modern and sustainable Green Port,” Antoni said.
TTL has installed shore connection facilities that allow vessels at berth to use electricity supplied from the terminal instead of auxiliary engines. The system is designed to reduce vessel exhaust emissions while ships are docked.
The terminal also operates an independent wastewater treatment plant, known as IPAL, and reuses treated domestic wastewater for purposes including irrigation, the company said.
Solar power installations have also been deployed at several facilities and buildings within the terminal area as part of its use of renewable energy.
Arizal Hendrawan, head of the Supervision and Enforcement Division at the Tanjung Perak Port Authority Office (KSOP Utama), said the regulator supports cleaner energy and environmental initiatives at the terminal.
“KSOP Utama Tanjung Perak consistently supports the use of environmentally friendly energy and innovative programmes aimed at environmental conservation and improving operational quality at Terminal Teluk Lamong,” Arizal said.
PT Terminal Teluk Lamong’s president director said the company’s transition towards a Green Port was part of its strategy to improve operational efficiency and sustainability.
“TTL continues to adopt technology, electrify equipment, use environmentally friendly energy and strengthen environmental management as part of its operational transformation. We believe operational excellence and sustainability must go hand in hand to support the achievement of the 2060 Net Zero Emission target,” he said.
During the visit, Anang Januriandoko, TTL’s Senior Manager of Management Systems and HSSE, presented the company’s Green Port initiatives, including equipment electrification, energy efficiency and environmental management programmes.
TTL uses electric-powered equipment for container handling at the wharf and in the container yard. The company said the move is aimed at reducing emissions from terminal operations while improving energy efficiency.
The measures are part of TTL’s broader efforts to incorporate environmental, social and governance (ESG) considerations into its operations while supporting Indonesia’s target of achieving net-zero emissions by 2060.
