About Surabaya
Surabaya's Tanjung Perak port serves East Java and acts as the distribution point for Indonesia's eastern islands. It is reached through a dredged channel, which limits vessel size compared with Jakarta. For consignees in the east it saves a long domestic leg that routing via Tanjung Priok would require.
First Base Freight handles both import and export cargo through Surabaya — inbound from any country and outbound to any country. Indicative sea transit on our the UK lane is 30–37 days; transit on any other routing is confirmed at quote stage. For rates, container options and the wider Indonesia lane, including air freight and customs clearance, see the country page — or request a quote for this port.
