S
tate-owned port operator Pelindo II, also known as the Indonesia Port Corporation (IPC), plans to pursue digital transformation over the next five years to evolve into a world-class trade facilitator.
The IPC currently manages 12 seaports in Java, Sumatra and Kalimantan, including Jakarta Bay’s Tanjung Priok Port, Indonesia’s busiest port that handles more than 30 percent of the country’s non-oil and gas exports.
IPC president director Elvyn G. Masassya said the company had plans to integrate its ports under a digital platform and diversified logistical services for traders, including freighter leasing and truck rental.
“One way to do this is to prepare [an online] ‘marketplace’ for our port operating system to provide our customers easier access and the best service,” Elvyn told reporters during a press briefing in Jakarta.
He added that digitizing IPC’s operations would help streamline its services and improve efficiency.
For instance, the company planned to install an automated gate system, or “auto gate”, at Tanjung Priok Port by the end of June.
The auto gate would employ optical character recognition (OCR) embedded in smart cameras to eliminate the need for physical inspections and documentation on containers entering a port.
