Australian Logistics Firm Bluefreight Expands Into Indonesia

“Melbourne Based Bluefreight Goes from Strength to Strength with the Addition of the Indonesian Operation”

[ClickPress, Wed Jul 13 2005] Jakarta, Indonesia – Melbourne, Australia, based Bluefreight Pty Ltd, a Global Expeditors Network (GEN) member, has just expanded into Indonesia by taking a substantial share of their logistics partner, PT Indonesia Intercontinental Tradelink (Icontrade). A spokesman for Bluefreight was noted that “this expansion is in line with Bluefreight’s overall freight strategy of strengthening their trade lanes in order to provide the best results for their customers, whether they be in Australia, Indonesia or anywhere else in the world.” Icontrade is in the process of re-branding as Bluefreight Indonesia.

Icontrade, also a GEN member, has traditionally been strong with shipping wood product exports from Indonesia. Bluefreight in Australia hopes to capitalize on this strength and make a major push into the Australian furniture logistics market, which they already have their own strength in. “Indonesia has had lots to struggle with in the past few years,” said Richard Dexter, a Melbourne based director of Bluefreight, “but we can only see that the future of trade between Australia and Indonesia will be bright. That’s why this move seemed like a good one to us.”

Bluefreight is an Australian global logistics specialist with broad services including international ocean and air logistics, customs clearance and international product sourcing and procurement. Global Expeditors Network is a non-exclusive alliance of independent freight forwarders and professional international logistics companies.
