PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), or Pelindo, through its subsidiary PT Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva, together with several state-owned logistics entities, signed a Shareholder Agreement (SHA) and Deed of Merger for the consolidation of state-owned logistics in Jakarta on Tuesday (30/6). This strategic step is part of the government’s policy, through the Indonesia Investment Authority (BPI Danantara), to drive the transformation of the national logistics sector. The consolidation of various state-owned logistics entities is expected to create a more integrated service network, expand national distribution connectivity, increase operational efficiency, and provide added value for customers and all stakeholders.

Aurelius Altius Rosimin, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at BPI Danantara, stated that the logistics consolidation is a strategic move aligned with President Prabowo Subianto’s directive to build state-owned enterprises that are more focused, efficient, healthy, and competitive. “Through the consolidation of capabilities, assets, and company networks, this merger is expected to create synergy, improve service quality, and provide greater added value for the country,” Aurelius said on Wednesday (1/7/2026).

In the initial stage of the consolidation, the shareholding structure of the consolidated entity consists of 74.47 percent held by Pelindo Group, 9.24 percent by PT Pos Indonesia (Persero), 9.37 percent by PT Krakatau Bandar Samudera, and 6.92 percent by other entities. As the majority shareholder in the initial stage, Pelindo holds a strategic role in overseeing the integration process until the formation of the national logistics holding. This role is part of Pelindo’s commitment to ensuring the transition process follows the established roadmap while strengthening synergy among state-owned logistics players.

Pelindo President Director Achmad Muchtasyar said the logistics consolidation is a strategic step to strengthen national logistics competitiveness through synergy among state-owned logistics players. “We welcome this consolidation process as part of the effort to build a more integrated national logistics ecosystem. Through closer collaboration among state-owned enterprises, we are optimistic that national supply chain connectivity will be strengthened, logistics costs can be reduced, and customer service will become more effective and competitive,” said Achmad. He added that Pelindo is committed to overseeing the transition process so that it proceeds according to the established roadmap and provides maximum benefits for Indonesia. “We will continue to support this integration, including through strengthening port and logistics service synergies. We believe this consolidation can become an important foundation in building a national logistics system that is more efficient, integrated, and competitive,” Achmad added.

The signing ceremony was attended by the leadership of BPI Danantara, shareholders, directors of state-owned enterprises, and stakeholders involved in the national logistics consolidation process. The signing of the SHA and the Deed of Merger marks an official stage that signals the continuation of the consolidation implementation according to the established roadmap. As part of the consolidation process, seven state-owned logistics entities will merge into one entity as the foundation for the formation of the national logistics holding. The seven entities include PT Multi Terminal Indonesia (MTI) and PT Prima Indonesia Logistik (PIL) from the Pelindo Group, PT Pos Logistik Indonesia (POSLOG), PT Sarana Bandar Logistik (SBL), PT KBN Prima Logistik (KPL), PT Varia Usaha Dharma Segara (VUDS), and PT Krakatau Jasa Logistik (KJL). In this process, PT Multi Terminal Indonesia has been appointed as the surviving entity.

As part of the Pelindo Group, PT Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva (PSL) fully supports the implementation of this consolidation as a strategic step to strengthen the integration of national logistics services. In line with the company’s focus as a provider of integrated logistics solutions and area management, PSL views this consolidation as a momentum to strengthen service synergy while expanding connectivity between ports, industrial estates, and hinterlands. Faruq Hidayat, President Director of PT Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva, said that as part of the Pelindo Group and a shareholder of PT MTI, PSL will optimise its role in supporting the consolidation implementation, particularly through strengthening port-related logistics services and port-to-hinterland connectivity. “This consolidation step brings great hope for the Indonesian logistics world, including for PSL. We are ready to strengthen logistics service synergy through increasingly integrated connectivity, from ports to hinterland areas. Through collaboration among state-owned entities, we are optimistic that we can deliver more efficient logistics solutions and provide added value for customers,” said Faruq.

The consolidation is expected to strengthen the national distribution network through the integration of state-owned logistics services in a more efficient and interconnected ecosystem. This synergy also encourages asset and operational optimisation, thereby contributing to the reduction of national logistics costs, increasing business competitiveness, and implementing sustainability principles through more effective resource utilisation. Going forward, the consolidation of state-owned logistics is expected to be a catalyst in realising a national logistics ecosystem that is increasingly efficient, integrated, and competitive. Through stronger synergy among state-owned entities, Indonesia is expected to have a logistics system capable of supporting national economic growth while increasing competitiveness at the regional and global levels.
