East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), an International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) facility in Indonesia, has successfully welcomed its first containership since operations began at the new deepwater terminal in mid-October.
On 14 December, XinYi Glass made its first contact to Indonesia and chose EJMT for container discharge operations. The shipment is bound for XinYi Glass’s new facility in Gresik.
Patrick Chan, EJMT Chief Executive Officer, said: “We would like to extend our gratitude to XinYi Glass and their management for entrusting EJMT to handle their first vessel call in Indonesia. Having handled our first container call, alongside multiple project vessels, we have demonstrated our capability as a fully multipurpose terminal that can accommodate all types of cargo. We are ready to support East Java.”
EJMT is outfitted with two Konecranes Gottwald ESP.8 mobile harbour cranes, the largest port equipment in East Java.
For bulk cargo operations, the terminal has four 30- and 12-cubic-metre grabs, as well as two 60-cubic-metre automated anti-dust hoppers.
Its equipment portfolio also comprises two Kalmar reach stackers, an empty container handler, three automated Stinis spreaders, four Terberg tractors, and five Tantri trailers.
In October, EJMT selected Sinarmas LDA Usaha Pelabuhan (SLUP) as its preferred towage and pilotage supplier.
