International Container Terminal Services (ICTSI) recently held a groundbreaking ceremony to mark the official start of development of a new multipurpose terminal in East Java, Indonesia.
The East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT) development will consist of a 300-metre quay line, a breakwater, and a super heavy lift breakbulk deck. The works will also entail dredging of the navigational channel to a depth of 13.5 metres.
The facility will be supported by two post-Panamax mobile harbour cranes and other cargo handling equipment.
Construction of the new terminal is being carried out by EJMT's local partner PP. ICTSI said the facility will be ready to receive its first vessel by September 2024.
