HPI plans JICT expansion




PT Hutchison Ports Indonesia (HPI) plans to invest US$100M in the expansion of the Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) at Tanjung Priok port.
HPI CEO Stephen Ashworth told reporters that the expansion plan was part of an agreement signed by the company and its joint venture partner PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) II in 1999.
The plan includes the building of a new entry gate complex controlling trucks coming in and out of JICT and the neighbouring Koja Container Terminal, both of which are operated by HPI under a 20 year concession agreement that expires in 2019.
JICT handled 2.3M TEU last year, while throughput at the Koja terminal was 800,000 TEU, well beyond its nominal annual capacity of 650,000 TEU. The expansion plan is designed to boost annual capacity at JICT to 2.8M TEU and to over 1M TEU at Koja.
