Indonesia has introduced a new framework for strengthening its national logistics system through Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026 on Strengthening National Logistics, which revokes Presidential Regulation No. 26 of 2012 on the Blueprint of the National Logistics System.
The new framework adopts a more action-oriented approach to national logistics development, with particular emphasis on digital integration, logistics performance measurement, and the coordination of logistics services. It also provides for the development of national track and trace capabilities, the use of the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW), and the implementation of supporting technical standards.
These developments are relevant to logistics operators, port service providers, transportation and warehousing businesses, and other stakeholders involved in Indonesia’s supply chain ecosystem.
1. From a Long-Term Blueprint to Periodic Action Plans
Presidential Regulation No. 26 of 2012 established a long-term blueprint for national logistics development through successive implementation stages. This framework has now been replaced by Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026, which introduces periodic national logistics action plans.
The first action plan covers the 2026–2029 period, while subsequent plans are to be prepared with reference to evaluations of the preceding period. This approach places greater emphasis on implementation planning and periodic assessment of national logistics development.
The new framework therefore provides a more structured basis for coordinating logistics-strengthening initiatives, including digital transformation and infrastructure development.
2. INSW as the Digital Integration Framework
Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026 provides that the strengthening of the national logistics ecosystem and the digital transformation of logistics services are to be pursued through connected and/or integrated services using the Indonesia National Single Window (INSW).
The regulation also addresses the collection, exchange, and utilization of logistics data for government services and services between logistics operators. Such activities must observe the principles of data relevance, security, and confidentiality.
For logistics businesses, these provisions underscore the importance of digital connectivity and appropriate data governance in the development of integrated logistics services. The precise technical arrangements and implementation requirements will remain relevant to the applicable implementing measures.
3. Development of National Track and Trace Capabilities
The new framework identifies national track and trace capabilities, smart ports, and collaboration between logistics platforms as components of national logistics digitalization.
These initiatives are intended to support greater connectivity among logistics services and stakeholders across the supply chain. In this context, the development of digital interfaces involving ports, warehousing, transportation, and customs-related services forms part of the broader effort to strengthen logistics integration through INSW.
The framework establishes the policy and regulatory direction for these developments. However, the extent and technical form of integration for individual operators should be assessed against the relevant implementation arrangements rather than assumed to require immediate, uniform, real-time connectivity across all logistics systems.
4. Logistics Performance Measurement
Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026 provides for national logistics performance to be measured using the ratio of national logistics costs to gross domestic product (GDP) and global logistics performance indicators.
These indicators provide a basis for evaluating progress in strengthening the national logistics system. They also place logistics efficiency and performance assessment within the operative framework of the regulation, rather than treating them solely as long-term planning objectives.
For logistics stakeholders, the indicators may provide relevant context for future government initiatives and performance-related programs. They should not, however, be interpreted as establishing individual performance targets for every private logistics operator unless further requirements expressly provide for them.
5. Halal Logistics and Green-Smart Port Standards
The framework also addresses technical and operational aspects of logistics development beyond digital connectivity.
It provides for the preparation of halal standards for logistics facilities, covering at least storage, packaging, and distribution activities. It also contemplates the assessment and certification of ports based on green and smart port concepts.
These initiatives may have implications for logistics facility operators and port stakeholders as the relevant standards and assessment arrangements are developed. Their practical application, including any documentation or compliance requirements, should be considered in light of the applicable implementing provisions.
6. Data Governance in Integrated Logistics Services
The express reference to data relevance, security, and confidentiality establishes logistics-specific considerations for the exchange and use of data within the national logistics framework.
As public-sector systems and logistics platforms become more connected, operators may need to consider how their data management practices, system interfaces, and information-sharing arrangements address these principles.
These requirements should also be considered alongside the generally applicable Indonesian laws and regulations governing electronic systems and data protection, to the extent relevant to the activities concerned.
7. Fiscal and Non-Fiscal Incentives
Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026 authorizes the provision of fiscal and non-fiscal incentives for specific programs under the national logistics-strengthening framework.
This provides a legal basis for the government to support selected initiatives through incentive measures. The availability, eligibility criteria, and implementation of any particular incentive will depend on the relevant program and further applicable arrangements.
For businesses involved in logistics infrastructure and digital transformation, these provisions may be relevant when assessing future government-supported initiatives.
8. Sectoral Illustration: Fishery Product Traceability
Sectoral regulations provide a more specific illustration of how digital traceability may operate within an individual supply chain.
Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No. 32 of 2024 establishes the National Fish Traceability and Logistics System, which addresses the monitoring of fishery stock and logistics information, traceability of raw materials, and the quality and safety of fishery products throughout the supply chain.
The system uses a dedicated digital application and provides for data input and system interconnection involving relevant fishery business actors. It also establishes traceability data requirements for the export and import of fishery products, together with administrative sanctions for specified non-compliance.
Although sector-specific, this framework illustrates the role of digital traceability and data exchange in supporting supply chain monitoring and regulatory oversight.
9. Implications for Logistics Businesses
Presidential Regulation No. 41 of 2026 provides a broader framework for the continued development of an integrated national logistics ecosystem. Its principal areas of relevance include digital connectivity through INSW, national track and trace development, logistics performance measurement, data governance, and supporting technical standards.
Logistics businesses may therefore wish to review their existing digital systems, data-sharing arrangements, operational processes, and readiness for applicable sectoral requirements. Port operators and logistics facility providers may also need to monitor the development of relevant green-smart port and halal logistics standards.
The practical obligations applicable to each business will depend on its activities and the implementing measures adopted under the new framework.
