The company’s reach extends across the Indonesian archipelago through a network of branch offices located in major trading hubs and specialized industrial ports. This regional coverage includes locations such as Belawan, Surabaya, Banjarmasin, Balikpapan, and Makassar, among others in Sumatra, Kalimantan, Sulawesi, and Papua. This physical presence allows for localized operational assistance and direct oversight of cargo and vessel activities at the quay.
