Patimban Global Gateway Terminal (PGT), operated by a consortium including Africa Global Logistics (AGL), has welcomed the inaugural call of MSC’s first regular weekly 
container service at Patimban Port. This new scheduled connection marks a significant milestone in the terminal’s development and a further step in establishing Patimban as a complementary international gateway to Tanjung Priok.

 
The inaugural call of the MSC Aria III (Voyage 628R) marks Patimban’s entry into international scheduled liner shipping and confirms the terminal’s growing operational readiness. Operated under MSC’s Seahorse Service, the weekly route connects Patimban with major Asian hubs (Shanghai, Ningbo, Shekou, Laem Chabang, Pasir Gudang and Singapore) providing West Java’s importers and exporters with enhanced access to regional transshipment centres and global shipping networks. 


Positioned by the Indonesian government as a strategic complement to Tanjung Priok, Patimban Port is central to the country’s efforts to improve logistics efficiency and support the fast-growing industrial estates of West and Central Java. PGT continues to invest in the terminal’s facilities and capabilities to accommodate rising trade flows, with the commissioning of its ship-to-shore gantry cranes and RTGs expected by December 2026 to further enhance productivity and capacity. 

We are very proud that MSC has chosen Patimban for this regular weekly service. This is an important first step, while we await the commissioning of our ship-to-shore gantry cranes and RTGs, expected to be operational by December 2026, which will further enhance the port’s productivity and capacity.
