East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), the Lamongan operation of International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), recently hosted logistics industry representatives to explore trade opportunities between East Java and the broader Eastern Indonesia region, with a focus on freight development, market access and transport connections through Lamongan.
The exchange centered on cargo flows between production centers and consumer markets, access to domestic and international shipping routes, and the role of port, warehousing and bonded facilities in serving companies across different industries.
As activity grows, transport costs, routing options and service reliability continue to shape distribution patterns. Stronger ties between industrial centers, service providers and end markets can expand access to growth areas and improve cargo flows.
Located within the Lamongan Shorebase complex, EJMT provides access to port, warehousing and bonded logistics facilities and is linked to nearby industrial developments, including the Jakamitra Industrial Park i-sentra project.
The terminal began operations in October 2024 and handles containerized, bulk, project and heavy-lift shipments. It serves customers in Lamongan, Tuban and surrounding areas, providing an additional gateway for companies operating in East Java.
The exchange took place during a meeting on Aug. 5 between EJMT and members of ALFI/ILFA. Patrick Chan, former EJMT chief executive officer, joined the meeting.
Both sides agreed to continue consulting manufacturers, freight operators and cargo owners to better understand business requirements and potential cargo flows between East Java and Eastern Indonesia.
