Our Container Shipping Services to Jakarta
Full-Container-Load (FCL) Shipping
Most high-volume exports bound for Jakarta move in FCL. Importers of electronics, machinery and large retail consignments choose a full 20 ft or 40 ft container for better security and predictable landed costs. Typical port-to-port transit: Los Angeles → Jakarta = 30–40 days; Rotterdam → Jakarta = 25–30 days
Less-than-Container-Load (LCL) Shipping
Jakarta’s thriving SME scene makes LCL a popular option for smaller loads of textiles, pharmaceuticals and specialty foods arriving via consolidation hubs such as Singapore and Port Klang. Door-to-door LCL from Singapore can land in Jakarta in as little as 7–10 days including de-consolidation.
Alternative: Air Freight to Jakarta
Need 3-to-5-day delivery? We also quote air freight into Soekarno-Hatta International Airport, one of Asia-Pacific’s busiest cargo hubs with a new dedicated freight village. Ideal for high-value electronics, urgent samples or e-commerce replenishment.
