Workers’ body urges Indonesian president to intervene over terminal concession extension

The International Transport Workers’ Federation (ITF) has urged the Indonesian president to intervene over the extension of the concession for Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT),

With the current deal due to expire in 2019,  the Indonesia Port Company (IPC) has granted a contract extension to Hong Kong-based terminal operator, Hutchison Port Holdings (HPH).

However, the ITF-affiliated JICT Union claims that the that the extension process has been rushed, has lacked transparency and has not been conducted through an open tender mechanism.
