Forwarders deal signed

JAKARTA (JP): State-owned PT Asuransi Jasa Indonesia agreed
yesterday to provide insurance coverage to forwarding companies
under the Indonesian Forwarders Association.

The insurance company signed an agreement yesterday to provide
insurance coverage for a year for documents being forwarded by
the association's members.

The association's president, Chris Kanter, said yesterday the
new cooperation would support the forwarding industry in the
country, which had become more sophisticated and demanded
improved efficiency.

"The activities of the association's members are no longer
segmented, we have become more diverse using various means of
transportation," Chris said. (das)
