Connecting Indonesia to the world

MSC has been operating in Indonesia since 1996. Today MSC has around 180 staff dedicated to servicing the needs of our customers with six offices in the country – in Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang, Belawan, Panjang, and Palembang – which are located close to the main ports of Indonesia. To further extend our business coverage, we are also represented by sub-agents in Padang, Batam, Solo, Bandung, Makassar, and Bali. 

MSC offers the widest port coverage in Indonesia with four independent feeder networks connecting Indonesia ports with transshipment hub ports in Singapore, Tanjung Pelepas, and Yantian, where shippers can then leverage on MSC’s comprehensive global network of services with addition two direct calls in Jakarta bound for Australia and New Zealand.

  • The DG Regulation aims to implement the VGM requirements for container as required by the Amendment to the Safety of Life at Sea (SOLAS).
  • In the event if there is a discrepancy between the weights of the container received before container arrived at the terminal facility at the port and the VGM acquired through the weighing facility in the port, then the VGM that is recognized is the one acquired from the terminal facility in the port.
  • Container exceeding the maximum gross weight as stated by the Safety Approval Plate (CSC Safety Plate) will not be loaded into the vessel.
  • Failure to comply with the DG Regulation is punishable by a sanction in a form of prohibition to load the container to the vessel by the port authority (syahbandar) which may impact the financing including postponement of loading or demurrage or return of container as stipulated by a contract between the parties.
