Nippon Yusen Kabushiki Kaisha (NYK), a leader in the global logistics market, and PT. Puninar Jaya (Puninar Jaya), a top-notch logistics provider, have launched a joint venture company, PT. NYK Puninar Auto Logistics Indonesia (NPALI) which will offer total logistics solutions — i.e., transportation, storage, pre-delivery inspection, and customs clearance — for complete built-up units (CBUs) of vehicles being shipped to and from Indonesia, as well as domestic distribution throughout the islands of Indonesia.
Puninar Jaya was found to be the best partner for the joint venture because of its 44 years of experience in the Indonesian logistics market and the company’s strong deployment of property and equipment. NYK, itself, has been active in the shipping industry for 128 years and blends a global Ro-Ro network with state-of-the-art quality control to provide advanced CBU services in regions throughout the world. Moreover, the company offers domestic Ro-Ro operations within Indonesia, so NPALI is expected to quickly become one of Indonesia’s foremost CBU logistics providers.
In Indonesia, auto sales and production volume have seen rapid growth, and demand in the country’s metropolitan areas, as well as in the country’s smaller islands, has been increasing. NPALI will be able to use NYK’s domestic Ro-Ro services within Indonesia to offer door-to-door logistics services, which is certain to result in greater customer satisfaction. According to NPALI president director D. Budijanto, “Combining NYK’s extensive services with Puninar Jaya’s high-quality operations and local network, NPALI will become a total logistics provider and the only provider able to support customers in the area by offering seamless services.”
