📈 Double Launch in January! OOCL Intensifies Its Indonesia Route Network, Sending a Strong Signal

Following the launch of China’s first new route to Indonesia in early April, OOCL officially announced a major development on April 21— The second China–Indonesia route, CIS3, will launch on May 16. , full coverage of the port-of-call sequence:

Xiamen–Nansha–Jakarta–Surabaya–Yantian–Xiamen

Earlier, in mid-April, OOCL was the first to launch the direct East China–Indonesia service CIS1, connecting Shanghai and Ningbo directly to Jakarta and thereby establishing rapid connectivity between East China and Indonesia’s key ports.

💡 Launching two core routes within a single month underscores OOCL’s strong confidence in the China–Indonesia trade market and further highlights the strategic priority Southeast Asia holds in its global shipping network!

🚢 Two routes with precise division of labor, covering the core China-Indonesia trade region

The two new routes each have a distinct focus and complementary strengths, providing comprehensive coverage of China’s core export regions in East and South China and precisely matching the logistics needs of different enterprises:

✅ CIS1 Route (East China Dedicated Line) Focusing on the East China foreign trade cluster, this service departs from Shanghai and Ningbo directly to Jakarta, Indonesia, offering a streamlined route and exceptional transit times—perfectly tailored to meet the export needs of machinery, construction materials, and light industrial products from the East China region.

✅ CIS3 Route (South China Dedicated Line) : By anchoring at Xiamen, Nansha, and Yantian—three major hub ports in South China—and simultaneously calling at Indonesia’s two core ports—Jakarta (the capital and consumption hub) and Surabaya (the second-largest city and eastern manufacturing center)—we achieve dual coverage of both the consumer market and the industrial hinterland in Indonesia from South China. With end-to-end point-to-point direct services, transit links are drastically reduced, maximizing transportation efficiency!

OOCL officials also emphasized that the core competitive advantage of the new route is “ Direct, reliable connection "and" Shorter transit time —directly addressing the core demands of Chinese and Indonesian trading companies for timeliness and reliability!

🔥 Surging Demand! China-Indonesia Trade Enters a Golden Era of Development

OOCL is significantly expanding its Indonesia service network, driven by the sustained robust growth in China–Indonesia bilateral trade. A confluence of favorable factors is steadily boosting market demand:

RCEP Benefits Continue to Materialize China has been Indonesia’s largest trading partner for 13 consecutive years. Under the RCEP framework, tariffs have been progressively reduced year after year, significantly lowering trade costs between the two countries and boosting bilateral trade vitality.

Indonesia’s Investment Boom in Industry Indonesia is experiencing a surge in investment in nickel ore processing, electric vehicle batteries, infrastructure development, and other sectors, driving large-scale exports of Chinese machinery, equipment, and raw materials.

Short-Haul Routes Become a “Safe Haven” : Current volatility in the Middle East has tightened long-haul shipping capacity, while short-haul routes in Southeast Asia have been less affected, making the region a “safe zone” that liner operators are prioritizing. As a core market in Southeast Asia, Indonesia has naturally become a key focus for such strategic deployments.
