The equipment will be used at the under-construction Lamong Bay terminal in Surabaya, which is scheduled to be opened in 2014.
The new terminal is being built as part of a nationwide freight transport programme launched by the Indonesian government to improve the movement of goods across the country’s waterways.
Pelindo III project manager Prasetyadi said the equipment from Konecranes will help manage container flow at the terminal and improve overall productivity.
"A safe and uninterrupted container flow in the terminal is our customers’ uncompromised need, just like predictable operational costs are for us," Prasetyadi said.
