Logistics Plus Offers New Rail Service in Indonesia
Erie, PA, January 30, 2014- Logistics Plus Indonesia / PT Sentra Logistik has opened a $2.5 million rail freight services facility at the Cikarang Dry Port, West Java. Logistics Plus will manage international forwarding, supply chain management, offshore logistics base, project, and domestic transportation. The Cikarang terminal/station is managed by Cikarang Dry Port (CDP), while the rail facilities and infrastructures are managed by the state-owned railroad company PT Kereta Api Indonesia (KAI).
The new facility provides one-stop services for distribution and logistics needs, including overnight rail service between Jakarta and Surabaya. This venture will also have the added benefit of reducing ever-increasing road traffic on Pantura Road. In 2013, as many as 23 million containers were distributed by rail in Indonesia. Those numbers are projected to reach around 60 million containers in 2020.
The decision to open the facility is an extension of Logistics Plus’ commitment to maintain and help develop a strong, evolving distribution and logistics service in Indonesia and Southeast Asia.
