Samudera

What Samudera does

Samudera (PT Samudera Indonesia Tbk, IDX: SMDT) is an Indonesia-rooted integrated shipping, port, and logistics group founded in 1950, operating through 150+ subsidiaries and offices across Indonesia and Asia with 6,000+ employees. The group is organized around three pillars — Shipping (container liner/feeder, bulk and tanker, offshore support and salvage, ship management and crew management of ~1,000 seafarers), Ports (stevedoring, cargodoring and terminal operations at DSN Tanjung Priok under a 25-year BOT, Wharf 303-305, TPK Palaran under a 50-year BOT, and the incoming Patimban Global Gateway Terminal JV with Africa Global Logistics and Toyota Tsusho under a ~40-year PPP concession), and Logistics (inland haulage, dry and cold warehousing with 7,200 pallet positions, distribution centers, 3PL, project logistics and container depot services).

Underlying technology includes the proprietary Electronic Terminal Operating System (ETOS) for real-time terminal visibility, an integrated WMS and TMS supporting cold-chain and EV-truck charging operations, the Samudera Connect customer platform, the Samudera Insight industry news portal, and the SIDIA chatbot powered by third-party Lenna AI. The group maintains an extensive ISO certification footprint (9001, 14001, 22301, 27001, 37001, 37301, 45001) and is widening into maritime education through the 2026 acquisition of AKMI Suaka Bahari Cirebon.

Samudera earns revenue primarily through transaction fees across six streams: container shipping freight, bulk/tanker charter fees, port service fees per ton/container, logistics service contracts, ship management fees, and supporting services (property, consulting, IT, outsourcing). Pricing is custom quote-based on multi-year B2B contracts, with GTM executed through direct enterprise sales for shipping/ports/logistics and a channel/agency model (Samudera Agencies Indonesia) representing global shipping lines at Indonesian ports. Recent FY2025 financials are USD 801.7M revenue (+9% YoY), USD 93.7M operating profit, USD 52.1M net profit (+3% YoY), and USD 1.426B total assets, with fleet renewal funded via three phases of Sustainable Ijarah Sukuk issuance.
