Declaration of the Indonesian Port Workers Council: Protect the Port as ‘Our Home’

Oaktree.id – On Thursday, February 12, 2026, an important moment took place in Jakarta with the declaration establishing the Indonesian Port Workers Council. With the powerful theme “The Port Is Our Home, Let’s Protect It Together,” the declaration was initiated by activists and labor organizations active in Indonesia’s port sector.

According to Djusman H Umar, Chair of the Federasi BUMN Bersatu, who was also one of the declarants, the council was established primarily to raise awareness and encourage participation in protecting and advancing Indonesia’s ports. As the lifeblood of national logistics, ports play a crucial role in the economy. Ensuring their continued operation and efficiency is therefore a shared responsibility.

At Oaktree.id, we understand how vital ports are to global and domestic supply chains. Operational efficiency at ports—from loading and unloading to customs clearance—depends greatly on effective coordination and skilled personnel. This declaration is expected to bring fresh momentum to efforts to create a more supportive and productive working environment at ports, ultimately helping goods and services flow more smoothly. This aligns with Oaktree.id’s commitment to providing integrated, efficient logistics solutions for businesses in the industry.
