Indonesia is the largest automobile market in the ASEAN and is on course to become one of the largest in Asia. Vehicle cargo through the country’s main ports has therefore been rising from 141,871 cars in 2005 to an estimated 534,857 cars in 2013 presenting the need for logistical infrastructure to support this burgeoning element of the Indonesian economy.

IPC recognises the crucial role that it has to play in Indonesia’s surging automotive industry and is making the necessary investments to expand the capacity of its car terminal at Tanjung Priok, the country’s main port. The company has invested $53 million USD to expand the existing car terminal from 15.66 hectares by a further 13.4 hectares and thus increase its annual capacity by an additional 350,000 vehicles. The new car terminal is therefore suitably equipped to handle increased volumes of vehicle cargo with greater efficiency through advanced IT systems such as bar code tracking for goods identification. This highly valuable piece of infrastructure will also provide the necessary foundations for Indonesia to further enhance its position as an automotive manufacturing base for global car brands to access the local and regional market.
