[110612.EN.SEA] JICT’s New Gate System To Cut Waiting Times

Jakarta: Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT), the biggest terminal operator at Jakarta's Tanjong Priok port, yesterday unveiled a new auto-gate system (JAGS) which it hopes will significantly cut transaction times at the gate and waiting times in the parking area.

The system replaces check booths at the entry and exit gates, which previously required loading cards, with an automatic checkpoint machine using radio-frequency identification cards and tickets. JICT has so far signed up 12,000 trucks for access to the terminal.

JICT plans to raise annual handling capacity from 2.5m teu to 2.8m teu.
