PT. Pelayaran Karana Line

Based in Jakarta, PT. Pelayaran Karana Line operates as a specialized shipping agency and marine logistics provider within the Indonesian maritime sector. Formally established in December 2019, the company functions as the direct operational successor to the business activities previously managed by PT. Pelayaran Samudra Karana Line. This strategic positioning allows the firm to operate as a distinct, modern corporate entity while leveraging the extensive network and operational legacy inherited from its predecessor, effectively bridging the gap between historical expertise and contemporary logistics management. A central pillar of the company’s operations is its ship husbandry division, which encompasses the critical supply and support services often associated with ship chandling. Acting as a "one-stop" interface for international vessel owners, the firm coordinates the procurement and delivery of essential provisions and technical stores. Rather than operating merely as a third-party vendor, the agency integrates supply chain management into its port formalities, ensuring that vessels berthed in major hubs like Tanjung Priok receive fresh water, food supplies, and bunker fuels efficiently during their turnaround windows. Beyond basic provisioning, PT. Pelayaran Karana Line plays a vital role in the technical logistics of the fleet. The company manages the clearance and final-mile delivery of ship spare parts, navigating the complex customs regulations of the Indonesian archipelago to ensure that maintenance components reach the vessel deck without delay. This husbandry scope also extends to crew welfare, including medical assistance and personnel transport. With a service network that handles over a thousand vessels annually across various domestic branches, PT. Pelayaran Karana Line serves as a comprehensive support node, ensuring that the commercial and material needs of ships are met with the reliability required by global shipping standards.
