The East Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), operated by International Container Terminal Services, Inc. (ICTSI), officially opened on 02 October 2024 in Lamongan, Indonesia. This strategic development could benefit Philippine exporters by enhancing trade routes between the Philippines, Indonesia, and neighboring regions.
With the EJMT’s advanced shipping capabilities, logistics costs are expected to decrease, offering more efficient transport solutions. This is particularly timely, as Philippine exports to Indonesia surged by 31.3% from January to June 2024, following the implementation of the Regional Comprehensive Economic Partnership (RCEP).
Located in Terminal Umum Tanjung Pakis, the EJMT serves domestic and international trade across key areas in Java. Its modern infrastructure promises to support regional economic growth while unlocking new export opportunities for Philippine businesses. PKC
