"To help the government realize MP3EI, we are going to optimize the operation of Tanjung Perak Port`s Jamrud terminal and Teluk Lamongan port in Surabaya," PT Peindo III President Director Djarwo Suryanto here on Tuesday.
He said the effort to implement the MP3EI in Pelindo III`s opertaional area, especially at Jamrud terminal, will be made by procuring six "Harbor Mobile Crane/HMC" units.
"The procurement of the heavy-duty equipment is to step up loading and unloading activity in the port area so as to help improve the national economy, especially in East Java," he said.
Two of the six HMC units, were expected to arrive early next month and the other four in stages later.
"But we are optimistic that by September 2011 all of HMC units will be fully operational and thus helping to increase the productivity of loading and unloading activities here," he said.
