History• The old name of Jakarta was Sunda Kelapa. The earliest record mentioning this area as a capital

city can be traced to the Indianized kingdom of Tarumanagara as early as the fourth century. In AD 39, King Purnawarman established Sunda Pura as a new capital city for the kingdom, located at the northern coast of Java. Purnawarman left seven memorial stones with inscriptions bearing his name spread across the area, including the present-day Banten and West Java provinces. The Tugu Inscription is considered the oldest of all of them.

• After the power of Tarumanagara declined, all of its many territories, including Sunda Pura, became part of the Kingdom of Sunda. The harbour area were renamed Sunda Kelapa as written in a Hindu monk's lontar manuscripts, which are now located at the Bodleian Library of Oxford University in England, and travel records by Prince Bujangga Manik. By the 14th century, Sunda Kelapa became a major trading port for the kingdom. The first European fleet, four Portuguese ships from Malacca, arrived in 1513 when the Portuguese were looking for a route for spices, especially black pepper.

• Jakarta's Container Port (JCP), now is known as Jakarta International Container Terminal (JICT) operated by the Hutchison Port Holdings and PT Pelindo II is the largest container terminal in Indonesia and the country's national hub port. In August 2004, the Indonesian Commercial Newsletter announced that the country would build a new port in Jakarta using Japanese technology. Admitting that Jakarta's traditional port, Tanjung Priok, hadn’t been improved for 150 years, the new Port of Jakarta (Djakarta) was needed for import and export traffic. At April 2011, JICT received an Asian Freight and Supply Chain Award (AFSCA) as the best service quality and technology innovation of terminal with less than 4 million twenty-foot equivalent units handling capacity
