Pelindo and Port of Los Angeles Sign MoU Covering Digitalization and Green Port Cooperation
Signed 6 November, the MoU covers port business development, Indonesia-US trade connectivity and knowledge exchange including supply-chain digitalization, green port and research cooperation, building on a partnership running since 2019.
State port operator Pelindo and the Port of Los Angeles have signed a memorandum of understanding strengthening business and maritime connectivity cooperation, signed on 6 November by Pelindo president director Achmad Muchtasyar and Port of Los Angeles executive director Eugene Seroka. The MoU covers port and logistics business development, Indonesia-US trade connectivity, and knowledge exchange including supply-chain optimization through digitalization, green port practices, and research and innovation.
The two ports have cooperated since 2019 on the CMA CGM Columbus JAX service linking Tanjung Priok with Los Angeles, a relationship reinforced by a letter of intent signed in August 2026.
Port-to-port MoUs of this kind usually translate into benchmark studies, system modernization reviews and technology procurement on the operator side over following quarters. Digitalization agendas at ports concentrate on gateway documentation, terminal operating data and yard monitoring, where document processing and camera-based monitoring are the practical work items. The value of the agreement depends on follow-through: no programs, budgets or pilot scopes have been announced, and port procurement cycles at the state operator are long.
