East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), International Container Terminal Services, Inc.’s (ICTSI) operation in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, has appointed Sinarmas LDA Usaha Pelabuhan (SLUP) as its preferred towage and pilotage supplier.
Under this partnership, SLUP will deploy two Azimuth Stern Drive Z-peller propulsion system harbor tugs with total engine power of 6,200 horsepower and provide Maritime Pilot Class 1 services to support EJMT and Lamongan Shorebase terminal pilotage operations.
“We are very pleased to begin our partnership with SLUP, which shares our commitment to meeting customers’ needs by using modern and efficient equipment and observing the highest safety standards,” said Patrick Chan, EJMT chief executive officer.
David Lim, Eastern Logistics chief executive officer, explained that “SLUP’s tugs are equipped with first-class firefighting capabilities, including dual monitors for water or foam. This will greatly enhance our port’s emergency marine response capabilities.”
“We extend our deepest gratitude to all parties involved in this new agreement. We hope that in the future, the synergy and collaboration between SLUP as BUP, Lamongan Shorebase, and EJMT as Terminal Umum, will maximize the maritime sector’s role in driving regional economic growth,” said Azis Muttaqien, SLUP president director.
The new partnership commenced in October, supporting safe vessel and barge movements within Terminal Umum Tanjung Pakis – Pelabuhan Brondong.
