Indonesia & France sign up an agreement to develop uderwater nuclear power plant.

Indonésie : Sabella, DCNS et EDF signent des accords autour de l’énergie et les EMR.




Jakarta - Indonésie - Vendredi 13/02/2015 - Energies de la mer
DCNS, EDF et Sabella ont signé des accords le 11/02/2015, en présence de Corinne Beutzé, Ambassadeur de France et d'Indroyono Soesilo, Ministre coordinateur des affaires maritimes. L’ambassade de France à Jakarta mentionne que les trois accords franco-indonésiens MoU portent repectivement sur un échange d’expertise en développement bas carbone entre PLN, EDF et l’AFD, le second entre l’entreprise DCNS et le BATAN (agence nucléaire indonésienne) et le 3ème entre l’entreprise Sabella SAS et 2 entreprises locales (énergie marine).



Les EMR ont toute leur place dans l’archipel indonésien, constitué de 17 000 îles qui s’étendent sur un territoire maritime de 6.000 par 2.000 km.
Sabella SAS a passé un accord de partenariat industriel avec PT. Prima Langkah Pratama(PLP) et PT Meindo Eland Indah (MEINDO) pour commercialiser l’hydrolienne Sabella D10. Sabella SAS est en charge de l'ingénierie et de la fourniture de la turbine, PLP de la gestion de projet et de l'assistance technique, MEINDO de la construction des ensembles métalliques et des opérations de travaux en mer.
C’est une première signature importante pour Sabella dans son déploiement à l’international et un vrai succès pour l’équipe. D’après Jean-Christophe Allo directeur commercial de Sabella SAS, le marché hydrolien indonésien présente un potentiel supérieur à 5 GW. L’objectif de PLP, Meindo et de Sabella est d’implanter en Indonésie des hydroliennes de puissances allant de 50 kW à 2 500 kW afin d’exploiter les courants marins de ce pays ce qui permettra également de créer des emplois locaux importants.

L’accord a été signé par William Papet, directeur de PLP, Jemmy Chan, président de MEINDO et Fanch Le Bris directeur général de Sabella SAS qui a passé quelques années Hong Kong avant de prendre ses fonctions en 2014.
Présentation de PLP et MEINDO
Pt PLP, est une entreprise de services qui fournira des ressources humaines et assurera l’interface entre les différents acteurs, la coordination et le contrôle qualité des projets.
Pt MEINDO est leader dans la construction de superstructures au service de l’industrie pétrolière et dans la réalisation de travaux maritimes, offrira le site de construction, les équipements et les matériels navals. Elle s’occupera également du transport et de l’installation des machines.
L’hydrolienne Sabella D10 qui est en cours d’assemblage au 5è quai Est du port de Brest devrait être inaugurée en avril en présence de ses nouveaux partenaires indonésiens avant d’être imergée à Ouessant dans le Fromveur. Jens-Henrik Gadeberg responsable des ventes de MacArtney vient parallèment d’annoncer qu’il fournirait la connectique du raccordement pour raccorder l’hydrolienneICI.
Sabella SAS, entreprise basée à Quimper dans le Finistère est dirigée par Jean-François Daviaud. Le développement de Sabella D10 soutenu par la Région Bretagne, le Conseil général du Finistère, les collectivités locales de Brest et Quimper et l’ADEME dans le cadre des investissements d’avenir. Sabella bénéficie d'un contrat d'assurance prospection COFACE.
Nouvel horizon pour DCNS avec Flexblue


Pour DCNS la signature d’un accord avec le BATAN par sa direction des Energies et Infrastructures dirigée par Thierry Kalanquin ouvre de nouvelles perspectives au projet Flexblue lancé en 2011 par Patrick Boissier ancien PDG de DCNS. Formé à l’atome avec la construction de chaudières de sous-marins nucléaires, DCNS avait souhaité créer une centrale nucléaire sous-marine de 50 à 250 MW de puissance, baptisée Flexblue qui se présentera sous la forme d’un cylindre d’une centaine de mètres de long, de 15 à 20 mètres de diamètre et de 12 000 tonnes.

DNCS présente le projet de la manière suivante "Cette unité sera immergée entre 60 et 100 mètres de profondeur à quelques kilomètres des côtes. « Elle permettrait de servir des pays à la recherche de réacteurs nucléaires de petite et moyenne puissance pour quelques centaines de millions d’euros ».
Points de repère
Géopolitique
L’indonésie est le 4e pays le plus peuplé du monde et un partenaire important pour la France en Asie. Avec l’établissement d’un partenariat stratégique en 2011, le site du ministère des affaires étrangères français mentionne que les relations sont appelées à se renforcer à la faveur de l’évolution de l’Indonésie, pays émergent et qui s’implique dans les questions mondiales comme le changement climatique ou le G20. En 2011, Pierre Lellouche, secrétaire d’Etat au commerce extérieur de l’époque avait signé un accord relatif à la coopération dans le domaine de l’énergie et des ressources minérales qui est entré en vigueur le 1/07/2011. L'Indonésie est notre 4ème partenaire commercial dans la zone ASEAN.
Lors de son premier déplacement officiel en août 2013, qui visait à marquer la volonté de la France de donner un nouvel élan aux relations entre la France et l’Asie du sud-est, Laurent Fabius avait souligné que le développement de « nos relations avec les pays d’Asie du sud-est devait être placé au même niveau que nos autres grands partenaires asiatiques tels que la Chine, l’Inde et le Japon ». Les entretiens avec les autorités politiques avaient montré une volonté commune de mettre en œuvre concrètement le partenariat stratégique bilatéral signé en 2011. Le renforcement des relations économiques est une priorité, alors que l’Indonésie représente 40% du PIB de l’ASEAN. Actuellement des négociations sont en cours pour éviter à un ressortissant français soupçonné de trafic de drogue d'être exécuté. Il avait été décidé de développer la coopération en matière de lutte contre le changement climatique, dans la perspective de la conférence "COP21" de 2015 et de mettre l’accent sur la formation universitaire et professionnelle.

The Global Arms Market and Commoditization
Southeast Asia is an interesting case study to explore trends in international weapons trade.

Is the global arms market becoming increasingly “commoditized”? Commoditization refers to an economic situation marked by an almost total lack of meaningful differentiation between competing products, and when they are instead sold almost entirely on the basis of price. Commoditized products are characterized by standardized, common technology or attributes, rather than by brand or capabilities uniqueness, resulting in basically price-based competition.

In this regard, Southeast Asia may be a good case study for such possible commoditization. If arms sales to the region are truly becoming a commodity business, it could result in Southeast Asian nations gaining expanded access to advanced military equipment and technology. And given that the security situation in the region is intensifying – in and around the South China Sea, for instance, where the prospects for conflict are increasing daily – the freer flow of all kinds of advanced armaments to local militaries could seriously undermine regional stability.

The Southeast Asian Arms Market

The Southeast Asian arms market is unique in a number of ways. First, it is relatively small, collectively worth only $2 billion to $3 billion annually, according to data put out by the Stockholm International Peace Research Institute (SIPRI). (By way of comparison, every year South Korea spends nearly as much on imported weapons as does all of Southeast Asian combined. However, it is a rapidly growing market and it is one of the more truly open and competitive markets when it comes to arms sales (compared to China or India, which have traditionally bought arms mainly from the Soviet Union/Russia, or to Japan, South Korea, or Taiwan, who are more or less captive markets of the U.S. defense industry).

These factors are especially important, given the “buyer’s market” in arms that has existed since the end of the Cold War. As their military procurement budgets have fallen, the traditional leading arms producers in North America and Europe have increasingly gone abroad in search of new markets to compensate for shrinking domestic demand. European defense firms such as BAE Systems, Saab, and Thales currently earn up to three-quarters of their revenues from overseas sales. The Russian arms industry is believed to rely on exports for up to 90 percent of its income. At the same time, other weapons-producing states are emerging as competitive arms exporters. The Israeli defense industry typically exports more than 75 percent of its output, while countries such as Brazil, China, Poland, Ukraine, and South Korea have all become aggressive marketers of armaments.

Arms exports have not only become critical to the survival of most arms producers, but the global arms market has become saturated with highly motivated sellers. Consequently, supplier restraint has been replaced by a readiness to sell just about every type of conventional weapon system available to Southeast Asia. No potential sale is too insignificant to be passed over, and sellers are ready to deal when it comes to price.

Patterns of Arms Transfers

This is clearly apparent in the pattern of arms transfers to Southeast Asia over the past decades. Some of the most advanced weapons systems have proliferated to the region, and from a broad variety of suppliers. Russia has sold Su-30 fighter jets to Indonesia, Malaysia, and Vietnam. Indonesia has received 16 T-50 trainer/lightweight combat aircraft from South Korea, and it is partnering with Korea on the KFX next-generation combat aircraft project; additionally, Indonesia is acquiring 24 ex-USAF F-16 fighters from the United States. Singapore has, in recent years, purchased two dozen F-15s, and, as a partner in the international Joint Strike Fighter program, could acquire as many as 100 F-35s. The Philippines has ordered 12 FA-50 fighters from Korea (and may purchase 24 more), while Thailand has bought 12 Gripen fighter jets from Sweden.

Meanwhile regional navies have acquired or are acquiring submarines from France, Germany, South Korea, Russia, and Sweden. Malaysia has bought warships from France, Germany, and the United Kingdom, while the Netherlands has sold corvettes to Indonesia and Vietnam. Russia has exported frigates to Vietnam, and China and South Korea are both supplying the Thai navy with warships.

Southeast Asian ground forces show even more eclecticism when it comes to arms acquisitions. The Malaysian army operates tanks from Poland; armored vehicles from the United Kingdom, South Korea, and Turkey; multiple-rocket launchers (MRLs) from Brazil; howitzers from South Africa; antitank weapons from Pakistan, Russia, France, Spain, and the U.S.; and surface-to-air missiles (SAMs) from Russia, China, Pakistan, and the U.K. Indonesia’s TNI is outfitted with tanks from Germany; armored vehicles from France and South Korea; antitank weapons from Russia, Sweden, and the U.S.; SAMs from China, France, and Sweden; and it has ordered MRLs from Brazil. The Thai army fields Chinese and Ukrainian tanks, American armored personnel carriers, French and Israeli howitzers, and French, Italian, Russian, and American helicopters.

Consequently, no single weapons-supplying country dominates the overall Southeast Asian arms market. In fact, according to SIPRI, no one arms exporter has garnered more than 10 percent of this aggregated market for the past decade; the only exception is Russia, with a whopping 44 percent of the market – but that is due mainly to a recent upsurge in arms deliveries to just one country, namely Vietnam.

Commoditization: Caveats and Cautions

From these patterns of recent arms transfers, one might infer that the Southeast Asian arms market is becoming increasingly commoditized. The fact that most individual Southeast Asian militaries possess a diverse array of weapons systems acquired from a relatively wide range of supplier states would suggest that the capabilities of competing weapons systems are judged to be relatively equal, and that therefore price is the primary driver behind the arms acquisitions process. And, in general, this might be true, or is increasingly so. Commoditization may certainly have helped new suppliers, such as Brazil, Poland, and South Korea, break into the Southeast Asian arms market. It may also explain how Russia has been able to find expanded opportunities for arms exports to the region, particularly of its fighter jets (to Indonesia and Malaysia, for example).

Nevertheless, even given relatively equal capabilities, price alone does not always have the greatest impact on weapon acquisition. A host of other motivations can and do affect arms-purchase decision-making, including reliability, after-sales support (spare parts and upgrades), technology transfers and offsets (such as licensed-production arrangements), and even bribery. In addition, countries may acquire weapons from a particular supplier in order to achieve specific political/military goals, such as boosting alliances, promoting military interoperability, or forging closer bilateral relations; conversely, a country may choose to diversify its arms purchases in order to signal that it does not wish to be too reliant on a particular supplier. And, for political reasons, some nations will always refuse to buy weapons from certain suppliers, no matter how cheap or how capable (e.g., the Philippines and Vietnam will probably never acquire arms from China, nor Malaysia from Israel).

Consequently, the Southeast Asian arms market may be considered only partially commoditized: price, and not branding, may increasingly drive arms acquisition decision-making, but other factors still exert considerable influence.

Whether a commoditized market or not, the fact remains that regional militaries are rapidly acquiring the means by which to significantly upgrade and modernize their warfighting capabilities. They are attaining greater firepower and accuracy at greater ranges, expanded force projection capacities (particularly at sea), stealth, improved battlefield knowledge and command and control, and increased operational maneuver and speed. At the end of the day, this is the issue that most vexes future regional security and stability.

KKIP visits PT Pindad (Persero)

The Committee of Indonesian Defence Industry Policy (KKIP) visits PT Pindad (Persero) on Monday, July 6th, 2015. The group which led by Admiral (Ret.) Sumardjono, is welcomed by President Director of PT Pindad (Persero), Silmy Karim, with the Management at the auditorium of Directorate. This event is begun by visiting a center of assembly at Special Vehicle Division and Weapon Division to see the process and also the production facility.

The group leader, Admiral (Ret.) Soemardjono, whose position is Chief Executive of KKIP says that as a committee foreseeing the defence industry, KKPI needs to take a direct visit. “KKIP’s task is to periodically visit all defense industry as a form of supervision. Aside from monitoring written report, media, and so forth, KKIP has the duty to see directly,” says Soemardjono.

On his welcome speech, Silmy Karim says that defense industry is currently cleaning and tidying up some of inhibiting works. “These homeworks are hopefully done in our agenda on this year, either the systemic ones or the quality-related ones,” says Silmy. “Quality becomes the most important thing for us, yet we understand that this is not easy, specific actions are required, such as taking out Quality Division from Production Division, Vendor appointment, supplier, partners, sub contractors which will be re-arranged to ensure our quality in 2016,” continues Silmy.

Refering to Laws No. 16 Year 2012, defense industry is obliged to improve ability, such as production facility, human resources development, and maximum management. “The state capital participation (PNM) which granted to Pindad will be used for capacity improvement, modernization, independence, system, and human capital development,” says Silmy. “Going forward, Pindad should integrate and only makes a very specific product, which is sensitive and is not produced overseas. However, if it is produced overseas, we would still promote to produce it outside but with good vendor and our QC is involved there,” Silmy adds.

Silmy along with the Management of Pindad on this occassion also explain the new development of new product, among others is “Badak” which is a result of a cooperation between Pindad and turret producer CMI Defence (Cockerill) from Belgium, SSX Calibre 7.62 mm, underwater weapon, medium tank, Defence Rocket, and so forth.

This event is closed with a discussion related to defense industry, especially pertaining to efforts to improve Pindad. “Input and suggestions from KKIP would be followed up” Silmy says. (Translated by FE)
