Industries in Semarang and how we support them
Central Java has a strong furniture and wood products industry, especially in Jepara, known for carved teak furniture, and in Semarang itself. The province has also attracted garment and footwear plants and general manufacturing to new estates such as the Kendal Industrial Park and the Batang Industrial Estate. Ziem Logistics supports these exporters with FCL and LCL sea freight via Tanjung Emas, air freight via SRG, CGK or SUB on our own air waybills, and Next Flight Out for urgent machinery parts.

Plan around local peaks in Semarang
Weather and season: Tidal flooding can affect the port area. We build buffer time into routings and switch to alternative airports when needed.
Holidays: In Indonesia, Lebaran (Idul Fitri) with extended collective leave and congestion before and after can slow down customs, airlines and trucking. Book early and send documents in advance around these dates.
