Maritime Industry Competitive Landscape Shipping Industry
156 competition can be considered relatively inexistent or low. Particularly in large vessels sectors, there is only a
very limited number of national shipping companies that are capable of providing large-size vessels. Furthermore, we can project the future competitive landscape of shipping industry in Indonesia by looking at the
market of ship transportation in the United States, which has long implemented the cabotage principle since 1920. Competition is practically inexistent in the US, for example the range of charter fee for MR type tanker in the world
is between USD 12,000 -13,000 per day, but charter fee in the US is more than USD 50,000 per day.

Competition in liquid transporter segment Liquid Transporter Market Share
Source : Global Business Guide, March 2014
Competition in liquid transporter vessel segment operating in Indonesia is dominated by liquid cargo vessels, with total
capacities up to 106 million DWT, whereas chemicals and CPO tankers contribute 3 million DWT and 9.5 million DWT,
respectively. At the end of 2012 there are 574 liquid transporter vessel, 348 units of which are owned by members
of INSA plus 115 barges and 50 self-propelled barges.
There is no official data available regarding the market share of vessel charter transactions in Indonesia. According to
Global Business Guide report March 2014 prepared based on interview and independent research, the largest portion of
liquid transporter market share of 60 is controlled by numerous shipping companies, each controlling small market
share of approximately 0.5 to 2. The companies sharing the said 60 share are, among others, Humpuss business
group, Samudra Indonesia and Andhika Lines. Whereas major players with more than 10 market share are PT Soechi Lines
Tbk and subsidiaries with approximately 15, Waruna business group with approximately 12.5 and PTK a
subsidiary of Pertamina.
Shipyard Industry
Currently, there are approximately 250 registered shipyard companies, consisting of four SOEs, approximately 170 private companies outside Batam and Karimun island in Riau Islands Province, and approximately 75 private
companies mainly owned by foreign countriesSingapore in BatamKarimun. Based on IPERINDO data for the year 2013, the total companies referred to above owns 160 shipbuilding facilities and 240 vessel
maintenancerepair facilities in Indonesia.
The data collected by Global Business Guide report issued in March 2014 regarding the expansion of capacities and new shipbuilding facilities is as follows:
11 facilities have the capacity to build ships with size ranging from 5,001 – 10,000 DWT; 9 facilities have the capacity to build ships with size ranging from 3,001 – 5,000 DWT;
8 facilities have the capacity to build ships with size ranging from 1,001 – 3,000 DWT; 27 facilities have the capacity to build ships with size ranging from 500 – 1,000 DWT; and
99 facilities have the capacity to build ships with size less than 500 DWT. Whereas for vessel maintenancerepair facilities, outlined below are the facilities owned by all shipyards in
Indonesia: 3 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from 50,001 – 100,000 DWT;
6 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from 10,001 – 50,000 DWT; 7 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from 5.001-10,000 DWT;
6 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from 3.001-5,000 DWT; 25 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from1.001-3,000 DWT;
45 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size ranging from 501-1,000 DWT; 121 facilities have the capacity to carry out works for ships with size less than 500 DWT.
Shipyard companies operating outside Batam, including 3 widely known SOEs are: PT PAL SOE, PT Dumas Tanjung Perak Shipyard, and PT Dok Perkapalan Surabaya SOE, which operates in Surapaya, PT JMI
operates in Semarang, PT Dok Kodja Bahari SOE operates in Jakarta and PT Daya Radar Utama and PT Caputra.
For shipyard companies outside Batam area, PT PAL is still considered the largest, not only in terms of capacity but also in terms of market share, which is predicted to reach 20 as PT PAL often receives new shipbuilding
projects from the Government. PT dok and Perkapalan Surabaya, PT Daya Radar Utama and PT Dok Kodja Bahari are next, each holding a market share of 10 - 15. PT JMI, PT Caputra and several other shipyard
companies each hold a market share ranging between 2 - 5. The remaining market share is divided between approximately 180 companies, both within or outside of Batam.
Several shipyard companies operating in Batam are PT Batamec, Drydock World with 3 companies in its business group, including Nanidah, PT ASL Shipyard, PT Santek, PT Loh Loh and PT Asiatic Shipyard.
Operational wise, shipyard companies located in Batam are more structured, in compliance with the Government regulations and in general are more cost efficient due to its proximity with Singapore. In terms of technology used,
others 60.0
158 several shipyard companies in Batam are more sophisticated due to support from their shareholders from the
neighboring countries who are also players in the shipping industry.
SWOT Analysis on National Shipyard Industry Potential
To assess the potential of shipyard industry in Indonesia, Global Business Guide March 2004 issued a SWOT Strength, Weaknesses, Opportunities and Threats analysis which summarizes the result of independent
research on the condition of shipyard industry players. Outlined below are the SWOT factors that are relevant to the development, capital and competition between shipyard owners.
SWOT Analysis on Shipyard Industry
Substantial potential demand for domestic vessels, including from the country’s captive market and the related
government agencies High demand for vessel repairsmaintenance services owing
to the large number of domestic fleets Low cost labor are available relatively easily
Establishment of several basic infrastructure, including industrial complex
Strategic geographical location Availability of land for shipyard
Government’s commitment to developing the maritime industry
Tendencies of the government and SOEs to use domestic shipyards in order to support the shipping industry
Availability of human resources and institutions such as LHI, NaSDEC and Agency for the Assessment and Application of
Technology Badan Pengkajian dan Penerapan Teknologi, ‖BPPT‖.
Relatively low skills in vessel design and production
management
High dependency on imported raw material components
Production facilities and equipment that are relatively old
Weak regulation consistencies and coordination betwen various industries in the shipping and shipyard sector
Mandatory regulation implementation, which contributes
to the high production cost
Lack of support from the banking industry
Domestic shipyards are relatively slow to adapt with the market’s new requirements, such as design, quality,
efficiency and innovation partly due to the lack of adequate facilities and supporting components
Lack of skilled labor, including welder
STRENGTHS WEAKNESSES
OPPORTUNITIES THREATS
Relocation of shipyards from developing countries The increase in domestic demand for new vessels to replace
obsolete vessels Increased cooperation with countries possessing advanced
shipbuilding technology for example, South Korea, Russia with its submarines, and others.
Potential recovery of the world economy, which resulted in the increase in global demand for vessels
The start of ASEAN open market in 2015 will trigger business developments and market expansion steps
Tighter competition from foreign shipyards, particularly
from the ASEAN region and China.
Cost increase in ship direct raw material, main components and equipment.
The improved investment climate and foreign companies
in competing countries, particularly in ASEAN region
Domestic political stability issue, in particular the political issue in 2014
Domestic macroeconomic stability issue current
inflation, interest rate and depreciation of foreign exchange currencies
Potential barrier in industrial relation, particularly in
Batam, if workers from ASEAN countries are allowed to enter freely.
