The Port of Los Angeles has launched a partnership with Indonesia to collaborate on data sharing and infrastructure development. A memorandum of understanding (MoU) has been signed between the parties, seeking to promote cooperation on issues of business and trade, digital supply chain efficiency, the environment, and infrastructure development.
Under the new deal with Indonesia, the Port of Los Angeles will collaborate with Indonesia’s state-owned port system PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Persero) on strategies related to port operations, commercial trade competitiveness, and port and rail infrastructure development. In addition, the partners will share best practices on pollution reduction, alternative energy initiatives, and port security and safety programmes. Finally, the partners will also cooperate on digital supply chain efficiency, following the Port of Los Angeles’ lead on using the “Port Optimizer” platform, a digital portal co-developed with GE Transportation to track real-time maritime shipping data for cargo owners and supply chain stakeholders.
