EAST Java Multipurpose Terminal (EJMT), operated by International Container Terminal Services Inc. (ICTSI) in Lamongan Regency, Indonesia, has selected Sinarmas LDA Usaha Pelabuhan (SLUP) as its preferred supplier for towage and pilotage services.
EJMT CEO Patrick Chan said, “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 maintaining the highest safety standards.”
SLUP will deploy two Azimuth Stern Drive Z-Peller propulsion system harbor tugs, generating a combined power of 6,200 horsepower, and will provide Maritime Pilot Class 1 services to EJMT and Lamongan Shorebase terminal operations.

David Lim, CEO of Eastern Logistics, said, “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.”
SLUP President Director Azis Muttaqien expressed gratitude to all parties involved. “We hope that 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,” he said.
The partnership began in October to facilitate safe vessel and barge movements within Terminal Umum Tanjung Pakis-Pelabuhan Brondong.
EJMT is designed to support the economies of Lamongan, Tuban, and central Java by handling containerized, breakbulk and project cargo. Located 60 kilometers west of Surabaya City, EJMT is part of the 80-hectare Lamongan Shorebase complex, which supports Indonesia’s offshore oil and gas industry. It is a joint venture between ICTSI and East Log Holdings, an Indonesian firm specializing in offshore supply bases.
