What Pelindo does
Pelindo (PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero)) is Indonesia's integrated state-owned port operator, formed through the October 1, 2021 merger of four predecessor port SOEs (Pelindo I–IV) with PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II as the surviving entity. The company manages a national network of cargo ports and 63+ passenger terminals organized into four Regional divisions — Regional 1 (Sumatra), Regional 2 (Java, Kalimantan, Sulawesi), Regional 3 (Java, Bali, Nusa Tenggara, Kalimantan), and Regional 4 (Sulawesi, Maluku, Papua) — handling 19.8 million TEUs of containers, 1.42 billion gross tons of vessel traffic, and 20.4 million passengers in 2025. Operations are delivered via four business-cluster subholdings: PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas (container terminals), PT Pelindo Multi Terminal (non-container, bulk, multipurpose, vehicle, and passenger terminals), PT Pelindo Solusi Logistik (logistics, area development, and JIIPE industrial-estate integration), and PT Pelindo Jasa Maritim (pilotage, towing, and harbor services), supported by adjacent entities in healthcare, education, digital services, and pension fund management. Underlying technology is operational rather than AI-centric, centered on Terminal Operating Systems (TOS), the IBS customer portal, p-eproc e-procurement, Truck Booking and Truck Identification systems, and Single Billing Payment platforms, with the OPTIPI cost-optimization initiative and Stranas PK anti-corruption digitalization (single submission, truck booking, single billing across four pilot ports) as the principal transformation programs.
Revenue is generated primarily through regulated, transaction-based fees for cargo handling (stevedoring, crane operations, warehousing, stacking, delivery/receiving), vessel services (berthing, pilotage, tugboat, water/waste), port passes and facility/equipment rentals, and concession/PNBP frameworks as a state-owned enterprise. Pricing is set by government regulation and concession agreements rather than by market, with FY2025 revenue of Rp35.48 trillion (up 9% YoY) and Rp7.81 trillion contributed back to the state via taxes, dividends, PNBP, and concession payments. GTM is enterprise-direct across cargo owners, shipping lines, ferry operators, and government counterparties, augmented by cooperative arrangements (notably the INA/DP World consortium on international routes, sister-port MoU with Johor Port Authority, and an MoU with PTPN III/KAI on Kuala Tanjung-SEK rail-linked logistics) and TJSL/Maritimepreneur programs that extend reach to UMK and remote-region communities.
