Sale of 20ft and 40ft Shipping Containers in Jakarta (Indonesia)

About the Location: Jakarta – The Economic Heart and Logistics Engine of Indonesia

Jakarta is the capital and largest metropolis of Indonesia, forming the Jabodetabek agglomeration (Jakarta, Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, Bekasi) with a population of over 30 million. The city serves as the absolute center of financial, trade, and logistics activity in the archipelago. A key role is played by the Port of Tanjung Priok, which handles over 70% of the country's total container freight. The region's industrial profile is defined by automotive manufacturing, fast-moving consumer goods (FMCG) production, textiles, and the rapidly growing e-commerce sector.

Fun fact: Due to geographical features and land subsidence in northern Jakarta, the use of elevated, watertight, and moisture-resistant solutions, such as shipping containers placed on concrete blocks, has become the standard for reliable warehousing, protecting cargo from seasonal flooding (banjir).

Important: We Strictly Do Not Deal with "As-Is" Condition Containers

In conditions of extreme tropical humidity, heavy monsoon rains, and high port infrastructure congestion, using worn-out equipment is unacceptable. Our fleet consists only of inspected, watertight, and reliable containers. You will never receive equipment with through-corrosion, deformed doors, or damaged flooring, which is critical for preserving cargo quality.

Always Available at Our Sites and Partner Terminals in Jakarta:

• 20DC — Standard 20-foot containers (optimal for heavy equipment, auto parts, and compact storage)

• 40DC — Standard 40-foot containers

• 20HC / 40HC — High Cube containers (ideal for electronics, furniture, and bulky cargo)

• Refrigerated Containers (Reefers) — for the food industry, pharmaceuticals, and agro-exports (available upon request)

We process transactions in 1 business day. Containers are sold in the following conditions: NEW, IICL, CW (Cargo Worthy).

How to Buy a Container in Jakarta?

1. Selection: Describe your task to the manager (local storage, export, buffer zone). We will select the appropriate type and condition.

2. Contract: We sign a purchase agreement fixing the price, the container's BIC number, and the handover conditions.

3. Payment: We accept payment exclusively via non-cash transfer in US Dollars (USD) through international bank transfer (SWIFT).

4. Pickup: You collect the container from the agreed terminal in Jakarta on FCA (pickup) terms, or coordinate its handover directly to your logistics partner.

Local Expertise: Jakarta Terminals and Container Arrival Routes

Understanding the region's infrastructure allows us to guarantee transaction transparency and stable equipment availability:

1. Jakarta Container Terminals

We work directly with operators of key logistics hubs, ensuring convenient conditions for inspection and pickup:

• Tanjung Priok Port: Includes major operator terminals such as JICT (Jakarta International Container Terminal) and Koja Container Terminal (KCT). We have established interaction protocols for the swift removal of customs-cleared equipment.

• Private Inland Depots in Cakung and Cibitung (Bekasi): Specialized sites in the Greater Jakarta industrial zones. Here, we conduct pre-sale inspections, allowing clients to pick up equipment without the multi-hour traffic jams and bureaucratic delays characteristic of entering the seaport.

2. Equipment Arrival Routes

The container fleet in Jakarta is formed through several logistics flows:

• Direct deep-sea lines: Vessels from ports in China (Shanghai, Qingdao), the Middle East, and Europe.

• Domestic inter-island lines (Domestic Feeder): Regular connections with the Port of Tanjung Perak (Surabaya) and other archipelago hubs.

• Regional cabotage: Short sea voyages from Singapore and Port Klang (Malaysia) to balance the fleet.

Who Benefits from Buying a Container in Jakarta: Industry Scenarios

1. E-commerce and 3PL Logistics Operators: Jabodetabek is the main hub for giants like Tokopedia and Shopee. Purchasing your own containers allows companies to create flexible buffer storage zones within distribution centers, avoiding strict limitations and high storage rates inside Class A warehouses.

2. Automotive Industry and Component Suppliers: Nearby industrial zones in Bekasi and Karawang serve assembly plants for Toyota, Honda, and Hyundai. For storing precision metal parts, electronics, and hydraulic systems, we provide watertight containers that guarantee the absence of moisture and corrosion.

3. FMCG and Food Distribution: Jakarta is a distribution center for consumer goods. Storing packaging materials, dry ingredients, or finished products requires food-grade standard containers. We supply only clean containers (IICL and NEW conditions) with no traces of previous chemical cargo, mold, or foreign odors.

4. Construction and Infrastructure Companies: Amid large-scale infrastructure development (MRT subway lines, high-speed railways, and toll roads), a container is a vandal-resistant, fire-safe, and mobile solution for storing expensive tools, generators, and materials on-site without the need for capital building permits (IMB).

5. Agricultural Commodity Traders: The region is actively involved in the export of palm oil, rubber, and spices. For temporary storage and consolidation of these goods before port shipment, we recommend dry, watertight containers (CW condition or higher) that protect the products from tropical moisture.
