Anyone shipping from Darwin to Dillli early 2024?

I'm just putting my feelers out as I'm battling my way through shipping from Darwin to Dilli.

I'm hoping someone might have good info on a affordable options or would be looking at sharing a container?

Sharing Container?
So far I've only gotten a usable quote from ANL for a full container.
From the numbers they gave me, that totals up to USD2900 which is a bit under AUD4500.

Just sharing the container with 2 more bikes would already drop the costs to AUD1500, which is not too crazy.

Ideally I'd like to drop my bike off in Darwin either in early December 2023 or early January 2024. Then have the bike get on its merry way via ANL in a container for pick up in middle of February after. I could probably get someone to store the bike in Darwin while I'm not there.

If there's anyone with a similar schedule, I'm happy to chat. Or if you have info on shippers as I'm struggling to get responses since a lot has changed over the last few years.

Updates and my info so far
Toll - Perkins is now ANL (CMA-CGM) and they only do full containers.

Bollore have been challenging to deal with as they apparently only deal with "businesses". I'm still trying to get information out of them by going through a friend that has a business to shop on my behalf.

None of the airlines that fly to Indonesia can take a motorcycle.

CEVA is someone I'm trying to get hold of now but haven't gotten any info yet.

In general phone numbers are getting really hard to find and people do rarely respond.

Last option?
I have a costly quote to ship from Brisbane to Surabaya, which would work, but it is expensive and I'd prefer to start from eastern Indonesia or Timor.

Membership - help keep us going!

Horizons Unlimited is not a big multi-national company, just two people who love motorcycle travel and have grown what started as a hobby in 1997 into a full time job (usually 8-10 hours per day and 7 days a week) and a labour of love. To keep it going and a roof over our heads, we run events all over the world with the help of volunteers; we sell inspirational and informative DVDs; we have a few selected advertisers; and we make a small amount from memberships.

You don't have to be a Member to come to an HU meeting, access the website, or ask questions on the HUBB. What you get for your membership contribution is our sincere gratitude, good karma and knowing that you're helping to keep the motorcycle travel dream alive. Contributing Members and Gold Members do get additional features on the HUBB. Here's a list of all the Member benefits on the HUBB.
