New Recruit
That's good to see,
so what happened???That's good to see,
Btw in case anyone wondering why we never ever saw pics or vids from their "older sisters" particularly KRI Teluk Kendari (518) & KRI Teluk Kupang (519) here's some pics I found after scouring social medias this past few days.

FYI,
KRI Teluk Kendari (518) was launched in 26 September 2014,

KRI Teluk Kupang (519) in 17 January 2017,
(https://defense-studies.blogspot.com/2017/01/peluncuran-kapal-at-2-kri-teluk-kupang.html).
From the pics above it could be seen that both of them still moored at PT. DKB facilities ever since, even KRI Teluk Kendari that has been launched since more than 4 years ago, still appear unfinished as of January 2019.

I'd love to know more about it myself, but to be honest I didn't know anything.
I see that there is already radar on the mast (on both ships) and anchor on the KRI Teluk Kendari-518. Before there weren't any.That's good to see,

Nope, this is the same contract.
hadeeehhhh.....**** this, we are talking about dozens trillion rupiah project being delayed and future submarine programme in jeopardy
because of some civil construction projects neglected their homework , someone must lose their head
Launch of Indonesia’s third Nagapasa-class submarine delayed by silting
Ridzwan Rahmat, Singapore - Jane's Navy International
26 February 2019
Key Points
- The launch of Indonesia’s third submarine has been delayed by heavy silting at PT PAL’s main dock
- Indonesian engineers are currently co-ordinating a risky operation to relocate the boat for launch at the shipyard’s Semarang dock
The Philippine Navy's first strategic sealift vessel, seen here while it was fitting out at PT PAL's dock at Semarang in 2016. This is the approximate spot where PT PAL aims to launch the country's third Nagapasa-class submarine, Alugoro, given that the original launch location has been affected by silting. (IHS Markit/Ridzwan Rahmat)
The launch of Indonesia’s third Nagapasa (Type 209/1400)-class diesel-electric submarine (SSK) has been delayed, but shipyard officials have devised a workaround to ensure that the vessel will take to the water in the coming weeks.
An industry source who informed Jane’s of the situation has attributed these delays to heavy silting in waters off the Madura Strait, and the Surabaya Western Shipping Route, which is referred to in local navigation maps as the Alur Pelayaran Barat Surabaya (APBS).
“The silting situation was aggravated in recent years by construction work at the Terminal Teluk Lamong,” said the source, in reference to the newly constructed terminal port at Surabaya. “Sediments from the construction have drifted towards the entire Tanjung Perak area, including the PT PAL dock where Alugoro was supposed to be launched. Now the waters are too shallow to safely launch the vessel,” he added.
Alugoro is the third-in-series overall for the Nagapasa class, but the first to be assembled locally at PT PAL’s facilities in Surabaya. Its assembly was done in collaboration with engineers from South Korea’s Daewoo Shipbuilding and Marine Engineering (DSME) as part of a technology transfer programme.
The boat is part of a KRW1.3 trillion (USD1.2 billion) contract signed between DSME and the Indonesian government in December 2011 for three SSKs. The vessel has an overall length of 61.2 m, an overall beam of 6.25 m, and a hull draught of 5.5 m.

Yeah, this particular pic from KRI Teluk Kendari was dated back to 2016, it would be baffling if none have changed since then.I see that there is already radar on the mast (on both ships) and anchor on the KRI Teluk Kendari-518. Before there weren't any.
I think after a new paint job both ships are ready for commissioning.
