The anti-trade union stance in Indonesia’s ports industry is increasingly being taken up by dockworkers in other countries as an issue that needs addressing urgently

The labour union at Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) took its fight to Hutchison’s Watsons stores in Jakarta this week, but the Indonesian Government appears committed to supporting JICT’s attempt to lower its labour costs.

It is understood that Indonesian state port operator PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Pelindo II) is looking to implement the same yard system used at the APMT Virginia terminal at a new terminal at the Port of Tanjung Perak (Surabaya).

PT Hutchison Ports Indonesia (HPI) plans to invest US$100M in the expansion of the Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) at Tanjung Priok port.

Indonesian state port operator PT Pelindo II will spend up to US$342M to expand handling capacity at its Tanjung Priok port in Jakarta.
