The container freight station extends APL Logistics’ footprint in Indonesia where it 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 new facility underlines APL Logistics’ commitment in providing value-added and pre-retail services to our customers. It forms part of our active delivery of storage solutions as we distinguish ourselves as a logistics leader with sustainable warehousing infrastructure and supply chain systems in Indonesia,” said APL Logistics’ President, Beat Simon.
The container freight station is an 11,000 sq m storage and distribution facility which has an adjoining yard space and cross-docking capabilities. It is located within close proximity to the Port of Jakarta and has an annual handling capacity of 600,000 cu m.
