China still holds the title of having the world's largest container terminal volume, reaching 35 million TEUs. According to statistics from the International Association of Ports and Harbors (IAPH), this nation boasts 13 ports out of the top 50 super-jumbo capacity ports.
Currently, Indonesia's main port, Tanjung Priok, ranks 23rd with a volume of 6.5 million TEUs. The inauguration of phase one of the Kalibaru Container Terminal on September 13, 2016, is expected to add approximately 1.5 million TEUs. It is anticipated that upon completion of the entire terminal in 2019, the total capacity will reach 11.5 million TEUs, moving Tanjung Priok up to 12th place.
Pelindo II President Director Elvyn G. Massaysya stated that the Kalibaru terminal will be the largest in Indonesia, with an 800-meter length, a 32-hectare stacking area, and a 16-meter depth to accommodate large vessels from other countries.
