With the establishment of PT Yang Ming Shipping Indonesia, Yang Ming plans to reinforce the local operations for import, export and tranship cargoes in Indonesia.
Yang Ming has a total of six services in the country, three self-owned services (CTI, TSE and SE5) and three joint services (SS1, SSX, and TPI) via exchange slots with partners. Yang Ming’s services cover a selection of four major ports in Indonesia – Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang and Belawan.
