Port of Tanjung Priok, Maritime terminal in North Jakarta, Indonesia

The Port of Tanjung Priok is a maritime terminal in North Jakarta that handles containers, general cargo, and bulk goods across multiple specialized terminals. Ships from around the world dock here daily to load and unload their cargo.

The port was founded in 1877 to replace the older Sunda Kelapa harbor and better connect Jakarta to international markets. Since then it has grown into Indonesia's largest and most important port.

The port's name comes from the Tanjung Priok district of North Jakarta, and its container terminals carry their own names: JICT, run with Hutchison Port Holdings, and TPK Koja, MAL and MTI. JICT, the national hub terminal, received an Asian Freight and Supply Chain Award in April 2011 for service quality and technology innovation among terminals handling under 4 million TEU.

Visitors can best explore the port from designated viewpoints or through organized harbor tours, as security restrictions apply to most areas. It is wise to check beforehand which sections are open to the public.

The port is part of the Maritime Silk Road, a route running from the Chinese coast through the Suez Canal to the Mediterranean and on to Trieste, with rail links to Central and Eastern Europe. Its JICT terminal received an Asian Freight and Supply Chain Award in April 2011 for service quality and technology innovation among terminals handling under 4 million TEUs.
