Summary: New bonded logistics facility connects manufacturers and exporters in Central Java with Maersk’s warehousing, depot, inland transportation and global ocean network
11 Nov 2026
Semarang, Indonesia: A.P. Moller - Maersk (Maersk) today inaugurated its new consolidation facility in Semarang, Indonesia, strengthening its logistics network in Central Java and expanding the integrated supply chain solutions available to customers in one of Indonesia’s growing manufacturing regions.
Indonesia represents an important market for global supply chains. As Southeast Asia’s largest economy, with GDP of approximately USD 1.45 trillion in 2025 and a population of around 286 million, the country combines significant domestic scale with an expanding role in regional and global trade. Indonesia’s exports of goods and services grew 7.03% in 2025, underlining the growing importance of logistics infrastructure and connectivity to supporting the country’s trade and manufacturing economy.
Indonesia is an important market for Maersk, and we see significant long-term opportunities as the country continues to develop its manufacturing and export capabilities. Our investment in Semarang reflects a simple principle: we want to invest where our customers are growing. Bringing warehousing, depot, inland and ocean capabilities closer to their manufacturing base gives customers greater flexibility and a simpler, more connected way to manage their supply chains.
A facility designed around the needs of exporters
The new Semarang facility spans over 16,000 square metres and provides 15,800 CBM of capacity, with 11,300 pallet positions across a 6-level racking system. Strategically located approximately 4 km from the Port of Tanjung Emas, 10 km from the airport and 0.3 km from Maersk’s container depot, the facility is positioned to connect warehouse operations with road, rail, depot and ocean transportation solutions.
For Maersk, the new Semarang Consolidation Centre reflects its continued focus on strengthening its logistics capabilities in Indonesia and investing closer to where customers manufacture and source their goods. Maersk already operates more than 128,000 square metres of warehousing facilities across 15 sites in Indonesia, alongside ocean and inland transportation, customs clearance, consolidation and depot capabilities.
Supporting Central Java’s growing manufacturing base
Central Java is increasingly developing as a manufacturing and sourcing hub, supported by growing industrial clusters and export-oriented sectors including footwear, garments and furniture. As production and export activity develop in the region, manufacturers require logistics infrastructure closer to their production locations that can support compliant and scalable export operations while giving them greater flexibility over how they manage inventory and consolidate cargo. The Semarang Consolidation Centre has been developed around these requirements.
Operating with a Pusat Logistik Berikat (PLB), or Bonded Logistics Centre, licence, the facility provides customers with a customs-controlled environment for managing cargo while supporting consolidation and other logistics activities.
The PLB capability gives customers greater flexibility in managing inventory and consolidating export cargo, helping them align cargo flows more closely with production schedules and export requirements.
Connecting Central Java with global markets
The Semarang Consolidation Centre forms part of Maersk’s wider logistics ecosystem in the region. Its proximity to Maersk’s container depot provides access to empty equipment and associated depot services, while inland transportation solutions can connect cargo from Central Java to other gateways when required.
Combined with Maersk’s ocean network, the warehouse, depot and landside transportation capabilities create an integrated logistics ecosystem connecting manufacturing origins in Central Java with international markets.
