Japan → Jakarta: service and transit time
Tanjung Priok in Jakarta is the largest port in Indonesia and the gateway to the consumer and industrial areas of Java. Direct services run from Japan. Transit is around 10–25 days, varying by carrier, schedule and season. Delays can occur due to weather, port congestion or omitted calls.
Besides the direct sailings, we can offer transhipment services that transfer at a nearby hub port. Transhipment takes longer than a direct sailing, but sailings are more frequent, space is easier to secure and the freight cost can be lower. Tell us whether you want to prioritise transit time or cost and we will adjust our proposal.

40HC ocean freight rates to Jakarta and what moves them
South East Asia is a short haul with frequent sailings, so rates are comparatively stable among the routes we list. There is competition between carriers, which also means comparison produces real differences.
We compare rates from multiple carriers side by side and present the best available at that moment. Card payment is supported, so you can book without straining your cash flow.
Ports, customs and inland transport for Indonesia
Some commodities require an import licence for Indonesia. Please confirm the local import requirements in advance.
We will guide you through the required documents and deadlines, so please ask even if this is your first shipment to Indonesia. For inland destinations, confirming drayage and onward transport in advance makes the schedule easier to plan.
Tanjung Priok’s Kalibaru (New Priok) container terminal opened in 2016, built to handle larger vessels and lifting the port’s overall handling capacity from around 5 million to 7 million TEU a year. A dedicated freight rail line also connects the port to the Cikarang dry port inland.
SOC container also available
Equipment turns over well in South East Asia, so carrier-owned containers (COC) normally work.
Other routes in SE Asia
We also handle other routes to SE Asia. If the destination is not yet fixed, we will compare options on the all-in cost including the inland leg.
