ICTSI East Java Terminal explores stronger trade links with Eastern Indonesia

East Java Multipurpose Terminal, ICTSI’s Lamongan operation, has 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 the Lamongan gateway. The meeting took place on August 5 between EJMT and members of the Indonesian Logistics and Forwarders Association. Discussions centred on cargo flows between production centres 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. Growing commercial activity between East Java and Eastern Indonesia is generating increased demand for more efficient transport networks across the archipelago, prompting industry groups to examine ways to improve cargo flows. John Largo, EJMT CEO, described growing interest in shipping routes linking East Java and Eastern Indonesia, noting that regular engagement with cargo owners and service providers helps the terminal understand where demand is increasing and where improvements can be made.
