hi riders,
am from Singapore n need some information and contacts to bring my own bike to Indonesia( Sumatra ) via Malaysia Muar. my plan is to ride from sumatra to bandung and hit back to singapore. any ferry contact how should i do this. for the carnet how to apply this?
 
samudrasg,yes carnet will be require.just info you better avoid jakarta-bandung route unless you may enjoy hard traffic jam.central java to east would be great.
 
i went to melaka but no ferry willing to take my bike to dumai. do you have any contact?
 
From melaka to dumai,there are plenty shipping company to ship.i have a contact person in dumai but not in melaka.plenty biker there that i know i could inform them to assist you.
 
I used Mr Lim at Cakra Enterprises in Penang to ship my bike from near Medan to Penang. Contact details are:



At the time (mid 2012) they were only taking bikes from Sumatra back to Malaysia because of problems with the Indonesian Navy. That may have changed.





A fair bit further north than you want, but he may know contacts

No, you can't go with the bike. I flew over. It took one or two days, if I recall correctly.

Yeah, the onion boat is what mine came over on. I presume the 2012 difficulties with the navy have been resolved?

Yes the onion boat leaves every Wednesday and he needs to contact Mr Lim (cakrashipping@gmail.com). Very helpful and quick to reply to emails. Easy peasy. xx
