Irianto, push a button to symbolize the launch of “throughput accumulation recording” at PT New Priok Container Terminal 1 (NPCT1) in Jakarta on Monday. NPCT1, a joint venture between state-run port operator Pelindo II and a Japan-Singapore consortium, managed to record 1 million 20-foot equivalent units (TEUs) in accumulation of port “throughput” in just one and a half years after it started to operate commercially in August 2016.
