Indonesia’s state port operator Pelindo launches ADHARA to connect maritime and logistics systems, enabling integrated services, information sharing, transactions and collaboration across the supply chain
Indonesia’s state-owned port operator PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Persero), or Pelindo, has launched ADHARA, a digital platform designed to connect systems and services across the country’s maritime and logistics ecosystem.
The platform was introduced at an “ADHARA Early Adoption” event on Thursday at the Indonesian Maritime Museum in Jakarta, marking the initial stage of adoption by users and stakeholders in the maritime and logistics sectors.
ADHARA is designed to connect existing digital systems operated by different stakeholders without replacing them, allowing information, transactions and services to be integrated across the logistics supply chain.
“All ecosystem stakeholders have their own systems, but these systems have not been integrated or connected with one another,” Pelindo President Director Achmad Muchtasyar said.
“Through ADHARA, we are integrating existing systems into a unified logistics ecosystem. Efficiency is not merely about cutting costs; it is about optimizing operations to be leaner, achieving greater output, and simultaneously reducing logistics costs,” he said.
The platform allows users to book and pay for logistics services, monitor the movement of vessels, containers and cargo in real time, and submit a single set of documents to access services across the logistics chain.
It also provides tools to optimize logistics capacity and use data and analytics to support decision-making.
ADHARA comprises four interconnected digital solutions: AdhaOrder, AdhaTrack, AdhaAccess and AdhaStore. Pelindo has appointed PT Integrasi Logistik Cipta Solusi (ILCS) to operate the platform.
Mohamad Risal Wasal, the Ministry of Transportation’s director general of transportation and multimodal integration, said integrated and sustainable connectivity was important to strengthening Indonesia’s logistics system.
“Connectivity must be cohesive, integrated, and sustainable. It requires accessibility, sustainability, and resilience,” Risal said.
“We have witnessed the introduction of ADHARA. Hopefully, this platform will help resolve existing issues and foster better cross-sector integration,” he added.
ILCS President Director Natal Iman Ginting said the platform was developed around principles of openness, neutrality, security and technology use to encourage collaboration among maritime and logistics stakeholders.
“ADHARA is a platform that is open to the entire ecosystem; neutral, favoring no specific party; secure, ensuring data protection; and, importantly, smart,” Natal said.
Pelindo said the development of ADHARA forms part of its broader transformation agenda and is aligned with Danantara Indonesia’s strategic direction for state-owned enterprises to improve efficiency, integration and competitiveness through collaboration and digital technology.
By connecting different systems and stakeholders, the platform is intended to create a more integrated, data-driven and user-focused port and logistics ecosystem.
PT Meratus Line, an early adopter of ADHARA, said greater interconnectivity could create opportunities for collaboration and the development of end-to-end services.
“This collaboration can create more end-to-end services and accelerate processes, while also opening up opportunities to introduce new solutions that might have previously been difficult to implement,” said Heri Cahyono, general manager of Liner & Terminal Operations (Nusantara) at Meratus Line.
Pelindo aims to expand ADHARA’s network of connected systems, services and stakeholders, with the goal of making logistics processes simpler, more transparent and more efficient.
