Singapore-based APL Logistics has opened a new container freight station (CFS) in Jakarta, Indonesia, to increase its share of the growing logistics market in the country.
The new CFS located at the Tungya Collins Terminal in Cakung, North Jakarta, offers export consolidation and warehousing services. It also complements APL Logistics’ existing facilities across Asia as a sourcing hub for both international and domestic distribution.
The CFS is an 11,000-square-meter storage and distribution facility that has an expansive yard space with cross-docking capabilities.
Strategically located close to the Port of Jakarta (Tanjung Priok), the custom-built facility has an annual handling capacity of 600,000 cubic meters.
“Indonesia is a major hub for international sourcing and there is an increasing demand for effective, quality assured warehousing and distribution. The new facility underlines APL Logistics’ commitment in providing value-added and pre-retail services to our customers,” said APL Logistics president Beat Simon.
APL Logistics now offers warehousing services across five locations in Indonesia, coordinating with some 280 factories to consolidate and export cargo for overseas buyers. In the last three years, the company said, its cargo-handling volume in Indonesia has been growing by 10% annually.
