Potential Impact of e-Pass Fee Increase at Nunukan Port on Logistics

Oaktree.id – The issue of increasing the annual e-Pass fee for trucks entering and leaving the container depot at Tunon Taka Port in Nunukan, North Kalimantan, is drawing the attention of business owners and freight truck drivers. Calls for PT Pelindo Nunukan to reconsider the increase from Rp 2 million to Rp 2.5 million per year have raised questions about its potential impact on the smooth flow of logistics in the region.

Even a small fee increase can affect operating cost calculations for logistics businesses. For freight companies, this additional cost may be passed on to customers or even reduce profit margins. Truck drivers, meanwhile, also face an added burden that could cut into their take-home pay.

From a supply chain management perspective, cost efficiency and the smooth flow of goods are key. A fee increase that is not matched by improved services or facilities can create bottlenecks, slow the movement of goods, and ultimately affect the competitiveness of products coming from or going to Nunukan.

At Oaktree.id, we understand how crucial every detail is in logistics management. Our system is designed to help businesses optimize every aspect of their operations, including cost monitoring and the efficient movement of goods. We continue to monitor developments on issues like this to provide our partners with the insights they need to navigate logistics challenges across Indonesia.

We hope constructive dialogue between business owners, drivers, and PT Pelindo Nunukan will lead to a solution that benefits all parties and keeps Nunukan’s logistics network running smoothly.
