Halal Logistics Implementation Strengthened
Global logistics company Gateway Container Line is strengthening its commitment to supporting the development of a cross-border halal ecosystem through the implementation of a halal logistics system that guarantees the safety and integrity of products throughout the supply chain.
This commitment was announced during the launch of the book and discussion forum “Authentic Halal Brand (AHB) Book Launch: From Values to Halal Ecosystem Impact”, a collaborative effort between IHATEC Publisher and Inspark Indonesia, organised by Halal Review in Jakarta.
The Director of Gateway Container Line, Hesty Rosmawanty, stated that the application of halal logistics is a strategic step for the company to respond to the implementation of mandatory halal policies in Indonesia, while simultaneously meeting the increasing needs of international partners for certified supply networks.
“We operate a halal consolidation business and focus on small-scale shipments of various types of goods within a single container. The main challenge is ensuring that every product remains clean, undamaged, and entirely uncontaminated by others. Therefore, we have decided to adopt halal logistics,” said Hesty.
According to her, halal certification is no longer merely a regulatory requirement but has become a long-term investment that builds customer trust and strengthens a company’s competitiveness in the global market.
“For Gateway, halal logistics is a long-term reputation investment because customer decisions are ultimately based on trust,” she added.
Gateway Container Line is a national logistics company that has expanded its services to various countries, including Southeast Asia, India, China, the Philippines, and Vietnam. The company handles the shipment of various commodities through a consolidation system that requires strict supervision to maintain product quality and halal status.
Through the implementation of halal logistics standards, the company ensures that the entire distribution process is transparent and protected from the risk of contamination by non-halal elements. This system is expected to provide security guarantees for businesses looking to market their products in international markets.
Hesty added that the implementation of halal logistics also opens wider opportunities for domestic industry players to develop authentic halal brands and increase their competitiveness in the global market.
“With a safe and reliable logistics system, we are ready to be a strategic partner for various industry players who wish to expand their product markets to an international level,” she said.
Strengthening the implementation of halal logistics is considered a vital element in building an integrated halal industry ecosystem, ranging from production and storage to distribution. This step is expected to increase consumer confidence and strengthen Indonesia’s position as one of the world’s halal industry hubs.
