Jul.14--MAERSK's forwarding arm, Damco, has opened a commercial office in Balikpapan, a seaport city on the east coast of the island of Borneo, in the Indonesian province of East Kalimantan to provide convenient access to the local airport, seaport, nearby provinces and downtown.
The Balikpapan branch is the fifth office that PT Damco Indonesia is operating joining Medan, Jakarta (head office), Semarang and Surabaya. It is located at Grand Sudirman, Panin Tower 11th Floor, Klandasan Illir, Balikpapan.
"It will allow the hire and housing of the logistics experts we need to support our key customers within the sectors such as industrial manufacturing; machinery, oil; gas, mining and retail," said PT Damco Indonesia managing director Peter Gunzelmann.
East Kalimantan is one of the richest areas of Indonesia in terms of natural resources, especially oil, natural gas (LNG), coal and timber, and the most significant of the five Kalimantan provinces in terms of business potential.
