Sea freight case studies
LOGOManufacturing · Sample
- Problem
- Shipments to 12 distributors in Sulawesi were often 5–7 days late.
- Solution
- Weekly LCL consolidation from Surabaya on a fixed vessel schedule.
- Result
- Late deliveries down from 31% to 4% in 3 months
- Problem
- Vessels to Sorong sail only once a week, so one missed sailing meant two weeks without stock.
- Solution
- Vessel space booked two sailings ahead, with buffer stock at a Surabaya depot.
- Result
- 0 days out of stock
Frequently asked questions
This is a real risk. The most common causes are incomplete documents, unloading queues and weather. We prevent it by checking documents two days before loading, tracking berthing schedules daily, and telling you as soon as anything shifts. The free storage period and the charges after it are stated in the quote, so there are no surprise bills.
Cargo insurance is optional, and we recommend it for every sea shipment. The premium is based on the invoice value, with cover up to IDR 5 billion per shipment. Without insurance, compensation follows only the carrier’s liability limit, which is usually far below the value of the goods.
The estimates in the table are port-to-port sailing times. Waiting time for the vessel and land delivery are added in the quote, along with a confirmed departure date.
From 1 m³. Smaller shipments can still go at the minimum rate, which we state in the quote.
Some goods are prohibited or need special permits, such as explosives and certain chemicals. Permitted dangerous goods must come with an MSDS. See the full list on the Prohibited goods page.
Yes. Use your job number on the Track shipment page. The status shows the container number, vessel name and every movement at the port.
