Jakarta, 11 February 2026 – The national logistics sector shows positive development in early 2026, along with growing trade activity and strengthening of Indonesia's maritime infrastructure.

📦 Pelindo Targets 2026 Container Traffic Growth

PT Pelindo Terminal Petikemas targets a throughput of 13.77 million TEUs throughout 2026, an increase of approximately 5% compared to the previous year. This growth is driven by industrial expansion in Sulawesi and Kalimantan regions, as well as increased national import-export activities.

This target reflects optimism toward the stability of domestic and international logistics flows, particularly in the manufacturing and commodity sectors.

🚢 Strengthening of National Shipping Industry

The government is also accelerating the development of the national shipbuilding industry to strengthen Indonesia's maritime distribution system. This initiative aims to improve inter-island shipping efficiency and strengthen national logistics resilience in the long term.

As an archipelagic nation, sea transportation remains the backbone of goods distribution, making the strengthening of fleets and maritime infrastructure a strategic focus.

🏢 BUMN Logistics Consolidation Plans

The idea of consolidating state-owned logistics companies is gaining momentum again, aiming to improve operational efficiency and national competitiveness. This integration is expected to create a more coordinated and integrated distribution system from upstream to downstream.

🚚 Evaluation of Truck Restrictions Policy

Several industry observers are once again highlighting the policy of restricting large truck operations during certain periods. This policy is considered to have an impact on distribution efficiency and logistics costs, thus requiring more comprehensive evaluation to maintain balance between traffic smoothness and distribution continuity.

Jakarta, 10 February 2026 – As we move into 2026, the global logistics industry shows more dynamic movement compared to previous years. The addition of vessel capacity, international route adjustments, and shifting demand patterns have made freight rates more flexible.

This condition is part of the normal cycle in international trade. Changes in capacity and freight rates are natural responses to global market balance, particularly across major trade lanes such as Asia–United States and Asia–Europe.

For Indonesian importers, these dynamics are not obstacles, but factors to be considered in shipment planning. With the right approach and consistent market monitoring, import processes can continue to run efficiently and reliably.

Amid evolving global market conditions, Gerak Lintas Arah stands as a logistics partner committed to ensuring your import process remains structured, transparent, and well-controlled — allowing your business to stay focused on growth rather than shipping complexities.
