guys, is true the machine for SSV from china ? how about the iron and other thing ?

PT Krakatau Steel provides steel for PT PAL and PT Pindad. Electronics equipment of PKR frigate (like Combat Management System and others) are from Thales and PT LEN (Indonesia). I dont have any idea about radar and other electronic things in Philippine SSV.

About the engine, I believe Philippine SSV uses General Electric engine as PT PAL and GE has collaboration on Naval engine (service and spare parts) by making joint company.

Krakatau Steel Suplai Baja 25.000 Ton Tiap Tahun ke PT PAL

(Krakatau Steel supplies 25.000 ton of steel every year for PT PAL)


Jakarta - PT Krakatau Steel akan memasok kebutuhan baja PT PAL sebanyak 25.000 ton per tahun. Pasokan ini akan digunakan PT PAL untuk memenuhi kegiatan pembangunan kapal perseroan.

Demikian hal tersebut diungkapkan oleh Direktur Pemasaran Krakatau Steel Irvan Hakim di Kantor Kementerian Badan Usaha Milik Negara (BUMN), Gedung Garuda, Jalan Medan Merdeka Selatan, Jakarta, Senin (22/12/2008). "Sekitar 25.000 ton per tahun kita siapkan untuk PAL. Jumlah itu akan kita tingkatkan seiiring dengan proyek kapal PAL, Krakatau Steel akan berpartisipasi untuk itu," ujarnya.

Ia mengatakan, Krakatau Steel sudah mensuplai kebutuhan baja PAL sejak lama, tahun ini aka ditingkatkan seiring dengan meningkatnya permintaan kapal dari klien PAL.

Mengenai harga jual yang ditawarkan perseroan, Ia mengatakan akan mengikuti harga pasar yang berlaku. "Kalau harga mengikuti harga yang berlaku di market. Kita ikuti komersial saja yang bisa masuk ke PAL dan Krakatau," imbuhnya.

Menurutnya, selama ini PAL merupakan salah satu konsumen baja yang cukup besar. Namun Ia juga mengatakan, Krakatau Steel tidak bisa memenuhi seluruh kebutuhan baja PAL, karena ada ukuran dan jenis yang berlainan dalam membangun sebuah kapal. "PAL tidak hanya mengandalkan Krakatau Steel saja, kan jenis baja untuk kapal itu berbeda, tidak semua dapat kita produksi," katanya.

Krakatau Steel sendiri setiap tahunnya memproduksi plat baja untuk industri galangan kapal sebanyak 360.000 ton. (Krakatau Steel provides 360.000 ton of steel every year for shipbuilding industry)

Indonesia exports first ever warship

Several Philippines Navy sailors jump in front of Strategic Sealift Vessel warship (SSV)-1 following its launch in the shipyard of state shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia in Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya, East Java, on Monday. The Philippines has ordered two advanced SSV warships worth US$90 million. This marks the first export of warships by Indonesia. (Antara/Zabur Karuru)
State-owned shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia launched two warships on Monday, one of which will be the first naval vessel exported by the domestic ship-building industry.

The two ships launched in Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya, East Java, were Missile Destroyer (PKR)-1 and Strategic Sealift Vessel (SSV)-1.

PT PAL president director M. Firmansyah said the PKR-1 was ordered by Indonesia's Defense Ministry while the SSV-1 was ordered by the Philippines' Defense Ministry. The firm secured the order worth US$90 million from the Philippines' government for the construction of two SSVs after winning an international tender process.

He said the SSV-1 was completely built by PT PAL and was in accordance with Lloyd's Registry classification.

"This is the first warship ever to be exported by Indonesia. This marks another country's acknowledgment of [our] maritime advancement," he said on Monday as quoted by tempo.co.

Regarding the PKR-1, Firmansyah explained that PAL cooperated with Netherlands-based Damen Schelde Naval Shipbuilding through a transfer-of-technology mechanism.

The firm would finish off PKR-1 and SSV-1 before officially handing them over to the Defense Ministry in January 2017 and the Philippines' Defense Ministry in May 2016, respectively.

Firmansyah explained that PAL had conducted hydrodynamic laboratory tests to get the design of the best quality warship.

"We will complete the process, test it and conduct sea trials before sending it to the Philippines," he said.

Tuesday's event also marked the completion of the order for the SSV-2 by the Philippines and the naming of the SSV-1 as the Tarlac.

Tarlac is the birth province of Philippines' President Benigno Simeon Aquino. (rin)

Interesting information for any one who has interest on Indonesia defense industries


Old news but informative, all financial situation of Indonesian defense industries become very healthy Today as government defense budget increases and parliament support by imposing the law favors of Indonesia defense industries, so financial standing of those companies Today are very different with data presented in this reporting here.

Defense industries: Waking
up the slumbering giants
Nani Afrida and Hasyim Widhiarto, The Jakarta Post | Expose | Wed, October 05 2011, 10:27 AM

A test rocket, developed by state-owned weapons manufacturer PT Pindad, is launched near a rice field in Lumajang, East Java, in this file photo taken on Jan. 27, 2010. The 3-meter rocket missed its target and crashed into a farm, seriously wounding the owners. Pindad, along with other state manufacturers, are now looking at restructuring their programs.

This is the first in a series of reports on weapons procurement and Indonesia’s defense industries, which, after more than a decade of mismanagement and negligence, are poised for revival, despite entrenched rent-seeking practices that drive the procurement process. The Jakarta Post’s Nani Afrida and Hasyim Widhiarto explore the issue.

Indonesia may be Southeast Asia’s biggest economy. But the nation’s status as a regional military power has dissipated.

The Indonesian Military’s (TNI)strength was at its peak in the 1960s, when the nation forced the Dutch to give up their claim to the resource-rich region of West Irian, now the provinces of Papua and West Papua.

Then president Sukarno developed the TNI with foreign aid and equipment, principally from the former Soviet Union, turning the TNI into Asia’s second most powerful military, behind the People’s Liberation Army in China.

“The Indonesian Military had an effective deterrent. Without such a powerful force, our history might have gone in a different direction,” former Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal (ret.) Chappy Hakim said.

The TNI could boast of the air superiority and long-range strike capability of its many Soviet-made state-of-the-art MiG-17 and MiG-21 fighter jets and TU-16 bombers, Chappy said, as well of its fleet of Soviet-made warships and submarines.

However, a reliance on Soviet-made equipment kept Indonesia’s defense industry in its infancy — despite a history of domestic production dating to the 19th century, when the Dutch created companies such as NV de Broom, NV de Vulcaan and NV de Industrie to arm its colonial forces.

Not long after gaining independence on Aug. 17, 1945, Indonesia, under the leadership of prime minister Djuanda Kartawijaya, nationalized local Dutch arms companies.

The policy made way for the establishment of state-owned defense companies such as PN Boma, PN Bisma, PN Indra, PN Barata and PN Sabang Merauke.

The companies were an embryo for the eventual development of 10 state defense companies, including aircraft maker PT Dirgantara Indonesia, shipyard PT PAL Indonesia, arms maker PT Pindad and explosives maker PT Dahana.

Other non-weapon strategic companies include steel maker PT Krakatau Steel, heavy equipment company PT Barata Indonesia, diesel and machinery company PT Boma Bisma Indra, train maker PT INKA, telecommunication company PT Telekomunikasi Indonesia and electronic component maker PT LEN Industri.

However, it was not until the mid-1970s that Indonesia’s defense industries were professionally managed.

Then president Soeharto handpicked a genius — German-educated aeronautical scientist Bacharuddin Jusuf Habibie — to plan and develop the industrialization of the nation with full assistance from the West.

In 1974, at the age of 38, Habibie was named a presidential advisor for technology. Four years later, he was made minister of research and technology, a position he held for 20 years before his appointment as vice president in 1998.

Under Habibie’s management, 10 strategic industries were consolidated under a single organization,
the Strategic Industry Regulatory Body (BPIS), in 1989 to “build and develop the country’s defense industry as well as defense and security sovereignty”.

Habibie also had an ambitious goal to bolster the nation’s maritime and aviation industries by 2015.

With support from state budget, Habibie’s huge investments in Pindad, PAL and IPTN (Dirgantara’s previous name) reaped benefits in the early 1990s, as local companies designed and produced the CN-235 cargo plane and the N-250 passenger aircraft, warships and various rifles and types of ammunition.

However, the TNI also went on a shopping spree, buying weapons systems from Western countries, including the US, the UK, Germany and France.

The move was driven by the personal interests of TNI officers, who pocketed fees from arms brokers employed by foreign arms companies.

Several weapon systems that might have been supplied by domestic producers were ordered from overseas vendors.

The TNI’s unwritten doctrine during the Soeharto era that placed the Army ahead of the Air Force and the Navy was also hampering the development of shipyards and aviation companies that might have been more useful in protecting an archipelago comprised of 17,000 islands and spanning more than 1.9 million square kilometers.

Budget constraints imposed by the 1997/1998 Asian financial crisis and the absence of a grand design for defense and industrialization after Soeharto’s fall have continued to plague the TNI and the nation’s defense industries.

Worse, the TNI currently relies heavily on foreign arms suppliers, leaving local companies with underdeveloped core competencies due to limited orders.

“This unhealthy reliance has left our country prone to military embargoes, just as the US and European Union did to us in 1999,” legislator T.B. Hasanuddin, deputy chairman of The House of Representatives’ Commission I overseeing defense, said.

Hasanuddin referred to the western embargo of arms and spare parts sales to Indonesia following allegations of human rights abuse committed by the TNI in the former province of East Timor, now Timor Leste.

The International Monetary Fund, which provided financial aid to Indonesia during the crisis, also instructed Indonesia in 1998 to end its financial support of what it called inefficient local high-technology companies, leading to the dissolution of the BPIS.

The government’s move to save the 10 strategic companies through establishing a holding company, PT Bahana Pakarya Industri Strategis, in 1998, had no significant impact.

Following the company’s liquidation in 2002, the companies have operated independently under the State-Owned Enterprises Ministry.

Most of the companies are currently in an unhealthy state due to mismanagement, bad loans and limited capital.

PAL and Dirgantara, for instance, are striving to get rid of loans that have haunted their businesses for more than a decade, while Pindad, although having secured a small profit, is far from a prosperous company.

The government’s preference for importing arms, coupled with unscrupulous officials, has also contributed to the fall of the nation’s defense industries and created disorientation in the defense system.

“Nowadays, our weapons system management is chaotic. We use a lot of different models for our defense systems: local, US, Russian and Chinese systems,” Chappy said.

“Not only that it is more costly but also it requires more technicians to learn the different systems.”

The prioritization of the Army has also remained, meaning the TNI is focused on domestic security and not deterrence or power projection.

The Army regularly absorbs almost half the TNI’s budget, receiving Rp 21.5 trillion (US$2.38 billion) of the military’s Rp 44 trillion budget for 2010 alone.

This has affected funding for new warships and fighter jets, which Chappy said should be prioritized.

“Our defense industry is always tied to our defense policy. Since the Army is always a priority, we don’t expect companies like PAL and Dirgantara to get a lot of orders. Our defense policy is basically saying let the enemies come and we’ll beat them in our house, instead of preventing them stepping into our yard,” Chappy said.
