The Latest Issue:
November Recap
This edition identifies five shifts that will influence decisions on compliance, routing, and cost efficiency in the months ahead.
Digital Integration Accelerates: Tech adoption defines competitiveness as traceability, documentation accuracy, and temperature-critical transport become the operational baseline.
Ports Maintain Year-End Resilience: Stable throughput in key gateways helps safeguard discharge windows through the peak season.
Smarter Hub Development Expands Options: Growth in regional terminals provides new multimodal routes and reduces reliance on long-haul road networks.
ODOL Rules Reshape Road Logistics: Stricter enforcement prompts route optimization, tighter payload control, and higher safety expectations.
Holiday Demand Shifts Cargo Composition: FMCG, packaging, and cold chain dependent goods drive seasonal movements and operational prioritization.
Across all trends, the message is consistent: resilience now depends on better planning and better data.
In our ARKA Perspective, we assess how operators can adapt early, strengthen compliance, and capture more efficient multimodal routes in 2026.
What’s Inside:
October Highlights
Our second issue examines the shifts driving new complexity and opportunity in Indonesia’s chemical logistics:
Regulatory Reset: Revised import permit rules from the Ministry of Trade aim to streamline processes, but early rollout reveals compliance gaps and uneven implementation.
Inland Shift: Congestion at Tanjung Emas is accelerating the rise of dry ports in Central Java, with ICD rerouting reshaping domestic logistics.
Cost Pressures in Focus: Tank shortages, repositioning inefficiencies, and rising empty-move ratios are redefining the true cost of service.
Each of these developments is actively reshaping how supply chains move, and how logistics decisions get made on the ground.
ARKA Insider breaks down the trends behind the change: sharp, operational, and made for decision-makers.
What’s Inside: September Highlights
Our first issue unpacks the forces reshaping Southeast Asia’s chemical logistics:
Trade Deregulation: Easing of import controls opens new doors and compliance challenges.
Port Infrastructure Shifts: Eastern Java ports rise as alternatives to Surabaya and Jakarta.
Changing Cost Dynamics: Tech-enabled transparency is driving service value and pricing pressure.
These aren’t future trends. They’re reshaping supply chains as we speak.
ARKA Insider delivers the intelligence behind them: bite-sized, compliance-first, and built for leaders on-the-go.
