In anticipation of increased parcel distribution needs from both\nhouseholds and businesses ahead of the peak delivery period expected in\nthe third week of Ramadan, KAI Logistics has implemented various\noperational strengthening measures to ensure safe, smooth and timely\ndelivery whilst managing rising demand volumes.<\/p>\n
\u201cEach year, the Eid season becomes one of the periods with quite\nsignificant increases in logistics activity. The public\u2019s need to send\nparcels to their hometowns, including personal vehicles such as\nmotorcycles and pets, as well as increased distribution of consumer\ngoods, all drive increased shipping volumes during this period,\u201d said VP\nof Corporate Secretary KAI Logistics (Kalog), Dwi Wulandari, on Saturday\n(14 March).<\/p>\n
According to Dwi, operationally, the company has implemented several\nstrategic measures, ranging from inspection of facilities and\noperational readiness, service readiness inspections, optimisation of\nloading and unloading processes, and increased utilisation of the\ntrucking fleet. These include strengthening safety aspects and\ncoordination at service points, and increasing readiness of operational\nresources. These measures are implemented to ensure all distribution\nprocesses run smoothly despite increased shipping volumes.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn terms of capacity, we are providing approximately 400 tonnes for\nround-trip journeys to support logistics during the Eid transportation\nperiod. The company is optimistic that with this capacity, we can still\nserve increased and surging demand for parcel delivery,\u201d she\nexplained.<\/p>\n
It should be noted that all deliveries to certain destinations will\ncease operations from Wednesday (18 March). Kalog Express services will\nresume operations on 25 March 2026. Additionally, the company is making\noperational adjustments to maintain transport capacity availability\nduring high-demand periods.<\/p>\n
On Wednesday (18 March), Kalog will continue operating delivery\nservices with capacity of up to 20 tonnes through the Blambangan Express\nand Sri Tanjung trains. This policy is implemented as a precautionary\nstep to maintain distribution smooth operation and ensure the public\u2019s\ndelivery needs continue to be served amid increased demand.<\/p>\n
\u201cIn addition to strengthening operational readiness, we also urge the\npublic to plan parcel deliveries earlier to avoid congestion as we\napproach peak delivery period. Earlier planning is expected to help the\npublic obtain more optimal services whilst ensuring parcels arrive on\ntime at their destination cities,\u201d she said.<\/p>\n
Dwi added that the company has noted trends of increased deliveries\nsince entering the second week of Ramadan. One service experiencing\ngrowth is motorcycle shipments, with 2,300 units distributed,\nrepresenting approximately a 5% increase compared to the first week of\nRamadan, which reached 2,217 units.<\/p>\n
This increase is expected to continue through the peak delivery\nperiod ahead of Eid. Pet transport has also shown increasing trends with\nsimilar growth, with 9,732 pets distributed since the beginning of\nRamadan through 9 March 2026.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe remain committed to providing safe and reliable logistics\nservices to the public during the Ramadan and Eid periods. Support from\nour railway-based distribution network is one of the advantages in\nmaintaining reliable delivery, particularly in responding to increased\nlogistics needs that typically occur during the homecoming period,\u201d she\nadded.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/kai-logistics-prepares-400-tonne-capacity-to-anticipate-surge-in-parcel-deliveries-during-peak-season-1773593594", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
