Surabaya — In response to shifting global supply chains, the Indonesian government, in collaboration with private logistics consortiums including PT APM, is accelerating the development of maritime infrastructure to strengthen the country's position along the critical Euro-Asia trade corridor. The focus is primarily on upgrading deep-sea ports capable of accommodating ultra-large container vessels (ULCVs) from European and East Asian shipping lines.

The Euro-Asia corridor is one of the busiest maritime routes globally. By modernizing port facilities, digitizing customs clearance processes, and establishing integrated industrial zones near major hubs, Indonesia aims to transition from a transit point into a primary manufacturing and transshipment hub. This strategic move is expected to cut logistics dwell times by up to 30%.

PT APM’s Shipping and Logistics divisions are actively aligning their operational frameworks with this national blueprint. By providing end-to-end freight solutions and advanced warehousing capabilities, APM ensures that domestic industries can efficiently plug into this massive Euro-Asia network, thereby reducing overall export costs and delivery times.
