Full speed ahead

Even though PAL manufactures both commercial and naval ships, the government has assigned the firm to focus on the development and construction of naval vessels in line with the modernization of Indonesia's primary weaponry defense system for the military.

PAL has forged ahead to advance its human resources and yard facilities to build better warships in recent years, with current projects concentrated on manufacturing two Perusak Kawal Rudal (PKR), or guided-missile frigates, with a Dutch shipbuilder and three submarines with a South Korean company, all procured by the Indonesian Navy.

The company aims for two things for Indonesia: to be more self-sufficient in its warship and naval weaponry requirements and to be able to export more products overseas, Firmansyah explains.

Established as a state-owned company in 1980, PAL has four business lines including a commercial ship division, a warship division, repair and maintenance, as well as a general engineering division. The company's portfolio included warships, fast patrol boats, tugboats, tankers, fishing boats, research and training vessels, cargo ships, merchant ships, passenger ferries and power plant ships.(The Jakarta Post/ I.G Dharma J.S)

PT PAL closes in on Philippine Navy opportunities | Janes - 01 October 2018

The official, speaking at the Asian Defence and Security (ADAS) 2018 exhibition in Manila that concluded on 28 September, said that following on from PT PAL's programme to deliver two Strategic Sealift Vessels (SSVs) to the PN - the second of which was commissioned in May 2017 - the company is negotiating the sale of two additional vessels of the same type.

The official said a contract to supply the two SSVs, which are based on the Makassar-class landing platform dock (LPD) ships in service with the Indonesian Navy that were designed by South Korean shipbuilder Dae Sun, could emerge in 2019 to meet the PN's requirements to respond to disaster relief and counter-insurgency (COIN)-support requirements. The value of the initial contract was USD92 million.

The PN has also expressed interest in procuring PT PAL's KCR-60M missile attack craft to also support COIN operations, said the official. Jane's understands that negotiations over the supply of two initial KCR-60M vessels are continuing and that this could also result in a contract opportunity in 2019. The Indonesian Navy currently operates three 60 m KCR-60Ms, and a fourth is expected to be commissioned soon.

While the programmes to supply the KCR-60M vessel and additional SSVs are regarded as near-term export targets for PT PAL, the possible collaboration on submarines is a longer-term aim, said the official.

PT PAL in talks with UAE for variant of multirole support ship

Indonesian state-owned shipbuilder PT PAL has offered a variant of its 163 m landing platform dock (LPD)-like multirole support ship (MRSS) to the United Arab Emirates (UAE) Navy.

< snipped >

The variant being offered is largely similar to the concept developed as a proposal for the Royal Malaysian Navy (RMN), but with customised features as requested by the UAE Navy, said the company in response to questions from Janes .

The requested customisations include flexible payload bays for modular mission systems and automated launch-and-recovery systems (LARS) for rigid-hull inflatable boats (RHIBs) and landing craft. The vessel can also be converted quickly into a floating hospital that can be deployed for humanitarian missions, the company added.

The 163 m MRSS was originally developed as part of PT PAL’s commitment to a memorandum of understanding (MOU) signed with Malaysian shipbuilder Boustead Naval Shipyard (BNS) at the Indo Defence 2016 exhibition in Jakarta.
