PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya

What PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya does

PT Terminal Petikemas Surabaya (TPS) is a container terminal operator located at Port of Tanjung Perak in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. Founded in 1992 and operating today as a subsidiary of state-owned Pelindo Group via the SubHolding PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (SPTP), TPS is the largest container terminal at Tanjung Perak, holding 83% of the port's international container market share. The facility serves shipping lines, exporters, importers, freight forwarders, and LCL cargo shippers under Terminal Service Agreement contracts, with two distinct berths — a 1,000-meter international quay (13m depth) and a 450-meter domestic quay (8m depth) — supporting both deep-sea and inter-island trade.

TPS generates revenue from a transaction-fee model across five principal streams: container loading and unloading (stevedoring), yard storage, container receipt and delivery at the gate, Container Freight Station (CFS) services for LCL cargo, and vessel berth services. Pricing is publicly disclosed via tariff circulars (most recent dated 14 January 2026). The terminal's technology stack integrates quay cranes, yard cranes, gate systems, and a control center; in July 2026 it completed a major equipment modernization, deploying 4 electric quay container cranes (e-QCC) and 14 electric rubber-tyred gantries (e-RTG). Supporting digital systems include Clique247 (customer job-order portal), EDI for COPARN data exchange with shipping lines, RFID-enabled gate operations, VMT workflow terminals, and an online vessel scheduling system. Productivity stands at 51 box/ship/hour, exceeding the 48 box/ship/hour minimum set by KSOP Tanjung Perak.

The company's go-to-market is B2B enterprise sales, with direct account management directed at shipping companies and exporters/importers in Eastern Indonesia. Customer engagement is supported by annual TPS Expose events, industry association partnerships (ALFI Jawa Timur, GPEI Jawa Timur), and close coordination with Bea Cukai Tanjung Perak for customs clearance. TPS was the first terminal in Indonesia to implement ISPS Code standards (July 2004) and is pursuing ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 certifications. Recent volume trends show a YoY decline (-8.59% Jan-Jul 2026) but strong sequential recovery (July 2026 up 11.79% MoM).
