The seven entities involved in the merger are Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva Multiterminal Indonesia, Pelindo Sinergi Lokaseva Prima Indonesia Logistik, Pos Logistics, Pelni Logistics, PT Kawasan Berikat Nusantara, PT Varia Usaha Dharma Segara, and Krakatau Integrated Logistics.

Aurelius Altius Rosimin, Senior Director of Corporate Strategy at PT Danantara Asset Management (DAM), said the deal is an important milestone in the realization of the National State-Owned Logistics Consolidation initiated by DAM. He added that the merger is also part of DAM's strategy to support Indonesia’s 2025-2045 National Long-Term Development Plan and the government’s Asta Cita agenda.

According to Aurelius, the consolidation of the seven state-owned logistics firms was driven by the need to streamline firms that had previously operated separately, expand their scale of operations, and eliminate service overlaps that had made state-owned logistics operations less efficient.

Going forward, the merger of these firms is expected to form a connected logistics ecosystem from upstream to downstream. The integration of resources across the companies is expected to create a larger combined business scale, improve operational efficiency, and reduce duplicated functions and costs. 

By streamlining operations, the merger also seeks to strengthen the competitiveness of domestic logistics services while lowering Indonesia’s national logistics costs, which continue to exceed the ASEAN average.

The consolidation is expected to provide direct benefits to the national logistics sector by creating a single entity with the capabilities needed to perform a range of logistics functions.

Daud added that efficiency would be achieved because these functions would no longer be spread across multiple companies, allowing the merged entity to offer more efficient pricing across Indonesia’s logistics ecosystem while strengthening operational coordination nationwide.
