Commenting on JICT’s accomplishment, JICT President Director Arif Siregar said, “We are very proud of the new record. It reflects the commitment of every JICT employee to deliver the best services to our customers. It also demonstrates JICT’s capability to handle large vessels against the backdrop of our on-going expansion programme, which includes the construction of additional yard space, the procurement of new quay and yard equipment and the implementation of nGen, a proprietary terminal operations system of HPH.”
Upon completion in 2013, JICT will have an additional 12 hectares of container yard space and an automated gate complex that will connect directly to the Jakarta Outer Ring Road (JORR) for more efficient movement of trucks in and out of the terminal.
