Concurrently, monthly coal loading and unloading activities via rail also showed an increase from around 590,000 tons in January to over 1.4 million tons in August.

Meanwhile, KAI Logistik continues to strengthen business diversification through its KALOG Plus services, particularly in container transport. By August 2026, the container segment recorded a volume of approximately 2 million tons, accounting for 16% of the total transport.

Additionally, retail freight delivery through the KALOG Express service recorded a total volume of 54,645 tons between January and August 2026, with the highest monthly volume occurring in August at 8,369 tons. Meanwhile, the non-container transport business segment, which includes cement, hazardous waste (B3), and CPO (Crude Palm Oil), recorded a total volume of approximately 332,000 tons.

Entering the final period of the year, Dwi stated that KAI Logistik will continue to strengthen capacity and service quality, expand collaboration opportunities with strategic customers, and optimize rail-based transport networks and connectivity.
