The recent conclusion of the MotoGP Mandalika event has not only been a resounding success but has also breathed new life into the world of motorcycle racing. The international stage that MotoGP Mandalika provides has brought a sense of immense pride to Indonesia, transcending various sectors, with a significant spotlight on the crucial logistics industry.
At the heart of the triumph of MotoGP Mandalika 2023 is PT Angkasa Pura Logistik (APLog). Their pivotal role in orchestrating the seamless execution of the event cannot be overstated. Their engagement spanned the entire spectrum, from handling the arrival of cargo to the meticulous management of the return of motorcycles and the complete MotoGP racing apparatus. This comprehensive logistical process unfolded from October 13 to October 15, 2023, forming an indispensable part of the event’s logistical backbone.
Rudy Fachrudin, General Manager of SBU Cargo Service at APLog, shed light on the intricate logistics operation. He described the precise loading and re-exporting of the MotoGP Mandalika 2023 cargo, a highly orchestrated affair that unfolded from October 17 to October 19, 2023, predominantly via air transportation. This meticulously planned process entailed collaboration with five flights operated by three esteemed airlines: Silk Way Airlines, Atlas Air, and Malaysia Airlines.
Following the air transport phase, the logistics effort extended to sea transportation. Shipments were meticulously scheduled to set sail from Lembar Port in Lombok, West Nusa Tenggara, commencing on October 23, 2023. These cargo shipments were destined for Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya, East Java, before they would be further distributed to a multitude of international destinations. Remarkably, the entire logistics operation, handling an impressive total of approximately 600 tons of MotoGP Mandalika 2023 logistics, was executed without a single accident, showcasing the exceptional competency of APLog.
The effective management of air and sea cargo for international special events is a task that Angkasa Pura Logistik (APLog) is no stranger to. Their proficiency in logistics has garnered the trust and appreciation of Dorna Sport, the commercial rights holder for the MotoGP World Championship, and MGPA. This trust and endorsement have culminated in a continued partnership, with APLog serving as the official logistics partner for MotoGP Mandalika for a second consecutive year, reinforcing their commitment to ensuring the seamless and efficient execution of international events of this magnitude.
The success of MotoGP Mandalika 2023, made possible by the harmonious collaboration between event organizers and logistics experts, not only bolsters the reputation of Indonesia in the global sporting arena but also underlines the nation’s capabilities in the field of logistics, ensuring that all aspects of this grand event function with unparalleled precision and safety.
