Maersk opens new logistics consolidation centre in Indonesia

Maersk has inaugurated a new consolidation centre in Semarang, Indonesia, expanding its warehousing and cargo handling capabilities in Central Java as the region continues to develop as a manufacturing and export hub.

The new facility covers more than 16,000 square metres and offers 15,800 cubic metres of storage capacity, with 11,300 pallet positions arranged across a six-level racking system. Located approximately four kilometres from the Port of Tanjung Emas, the centre is designed to connect warehousing operations with container depot services, inland transportation and Maersk’s international shipping network.

The Semarang Consolidation Centre operates under a Pusat Logistik Berikat (PLB), or Bonded Logistics Centre, licence, allowing customers to manage cargo within a customs-controlled environment. The arrangement supports inventory management and cargo consolidation, providing manufacturers with additional flexibility in coordinating shipments with production schedules and export requirements.

Central Java has become an increasingly important manufacturing location for industries including footwear, garments and furniture. The development of export-oriented production in the region has increased demand for warehousing, customs services and inland connections capable of linking manufacturing sites with international markets.
