New Mhcs For Ictsi’S East Java Multipurpose Terminal

East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), a subsidiary of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI) located in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, has recently received two new Konecranes Gottwald post-Panamax ESP.8 mobile harbour cranes (MHC). The new cranes will enhance EJMT’s capability to handle bulk, project, and container cargo as the terminal prepares to commence operations in September.

“We are pleased to collaborate with Konecranes for our new post-Panamax MHCs. The equipment is central to our ongoing development of the Lamongan terminal, which, upon completion in September, will serve as a new domestic and international gateway for our customers,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT chief executive officer.

Equipped with a diesel-electric hybrid system, the cranes combine their diesel engine and three-phase generator with a secondary power source based on electrostatic short-term energy storage media called ultracaps. The ultracaps provide short-term energy during peak power demand periods to reduce the equipment’s diesel consumption.

 “We are happy that we were able to convince EJMT with our state-of-the-art drive technology. The cooperation was excellent from the beginning, and we are confident that both cranes will provide the handling flexibility and rates EJMT is aiming for,” Holger Wagner, Konecranes regional sales manager for APAC, said.

The hybrid MHCs are the latest additions to EJMT’s equipment fleet, which includes reach stackers, empty container handlers, container spreaders, tractors and trailers. EJMT is also set to take delivery of grabs and hoppers by late August.

Situated in Lamongan Regency 60 kilometres west of Surabaya City, the multipurpose facility sits within the 80-hectare Lamongan Shorebase complex, which supports Indonesia’s specialized offshore oil and gas industry. EJMT is a joint venture between International Container Terminal Services, Inc. and East Log Holdings, an Indonesian company specializing in offshore oil and gas supply bases. ICTSI broke ground on the project in October 2023. The development consists of a 300-meter quay line, breakwater, super heavy lift breakbulk deck, and dredging of the navigational channel to -13.5 meters.

ICTSI’s unaudited financial results for H1 2024 show a 13% increase in port operations revenue to US$ 1.32 billion and a 34% growth in net income to US$ 420.55 million.
