What actually decides this lane
Inter-island oversized cargo belongs to the inter-island books, not the cross-border container books: Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Papua / West Papua, outbound 7–12 days, 4–7 days, 15–25 days (incl. 7–10 days waiting) and return 10–16 days (estimated), 10–19 days (observed, high variance), 18–28 days (estimated).
