In the fast-paced era of modern industry, supply chain efficiency and distribution accuracy have become crucial factors for national industrial competitiveness. Every delay in raw material delivery or customs obstacles can significantly impact production continuity and business performance. Amidst these challenges, the presence of Bonded Logistics Centers (PLB) offers real solutions that bridge industrial needs for efficient, integrated, and transparent logistics systems.
As part of Linc, PT Taruna Bina Sarana (TBS) plays a vital role in the national logistics ecosystem through managing strategically located PLB facilities in Cilegon, Banten. Focusing on storage and distribution services for liquid chemicals and strategic industrial products, TBS supports various industrial sectors to operate smoothly, efficiently, and in compliance with customs regulations.
Before PLB facilities like TBS existed, industries faced various logistical constraints hindering productivity. Imported goods needed for production processes were often held up at ports due to complex customs procedures. Consequently, demurrage and storage costs increased while raw material supplies became uncertain. This situation not only slowed down production but also eroded companies' competitiveness in meeting market demands.
Now, with TBS PLB, these challenges can be significantly overcome. Imported goods can be directly moved from ports to PLB facilities without waiting for lengthy administrative processes. An integrated reporting and monitoring system with Customs also accelerates goods movement, allowing industries to obtain raw materials faster and more efficiently. As a result, companies now enjoy shorter waiting times, more controlled logistics costs, and greater flexibility in managing import flows. This service delivers real impacts on operational stability and long-term cost savings.
The main advantage of TBS PLB lies in its storage flexibility and distribution mechanism. Through this facility, companies aren't required to immediately withdraw all imported goods from the warehouse. Withdrawals can be done gradually according to production needs and market conditions. This system provides significant advantages for managing cash flow, as import duties and taxes are only applied when goods are actually withdrawn from the PLB. Additionally, efficiency is reflected in demurrage cost savings at ports. Goods previously held up can now be moved quickly to PLB warehouses. With support from digital warehouse management systems directly linked to customs authorities, the entire process becomes more accurate, documented, and easily auditable.
As a liquid chemical storage facility manager, TBS prioritizes operational safety above all. All goods handling processes comply with international safety standards. Facilities are equipped with 24-hour monitoring systems, leak detection sensors, and regularly updated emergency procedures. Every operations staff receives routine training on safety handling, customs, and environmental safety protocols. This ensures all activities within the PLB area are safe, controlled, and compliant with regulations.
Besides safety, regulatory compliance is TBS's core value. As an official Customs partner, TBS implements transparent, digitized administrative systems aligned with government policies. Customers not only gain cost efficiency but also full legal assurance and accountability in every logistics transaction.
As part of Linc, TBS serves as a crucial pillar in an integrated logistics network covering four main business units: Linc Terminal (Tank Storage), Linc Logistics (Warehouse & Distribution Center), Linc Express (Transportation), and Linc Impex (Freight Forwarding).
Through this synergy, TBS not only functions as a PLB but also becomes a strategic connector between industries and their entire logistics chains. This approach aligns with Linc's vision to develop as a modern, sustainable, and responsive end-to-end logistics provider.
TBS's role in supporting national industries also synchronizes with the government's mission to establish Indonesia as a regional logistics hub in Southeast Asia. By optimizing PLB functions, goods flow efficiency and logistics transparency can be further enhanced. TBS believes strengthening such logistics facilities is a strategic move to attract investment, expand industrial networks, and accelerate national economic growth.
As a member of the Indonesian Bonded Logistics Center Association (PPLBI), TBS contributes to developing a healthy, professional, and globally competitive PLB ecosystem. Through collaboration and knowledge sharing among members, TBS is committed to continuously improving service standards and innovations. PT Taruna Bina Sarana's existence isn't just part of national logistics infrastructure, but a symbol of the industry's commitment to delivering efficient, safe, and integrated logistics solutions.
We believe logistics success isn't determined solely by speed, but also by adaptation, innovation, and collaboration capabilities. Embracing the spirit of Integrated Logistics for Your World, TBS is committed to being Indonesia's trusted logistics partner, today and in the future.
