Strategic Marine to build three crew boats for Indonesia
Strategic Marine Pty Ltd has been awarded a contract to build three 28m crew boats for Indonesian offshore service company PT Baruna Raya Logistics, bringing the shipbuilder’s order book to more than US$200 million.
T
he vessels will be built at Strategic Marine’s Singapore yard and will be delivered to Indonesian company
PT Baruna Raya Logistics in February, April and May 2011 respectively. PT Baruna Raya Logistics is a major
operator of offshore service vessels and provides logistics support for offshore exploration, drilling, construction, production and other activities related to the offshore petroleum and mining industries. PT Baruna Raya Logistics currently has around 60 vessels bearing Indonesian flags and registries. Te 28m vessels will be co-designed by
Strategic Marine and Southerly Designs of Western Australia and incorporate a central deck house with seating for 60 rig crew. Tey will have fixed-pitch propellers, reach speeds of 22kts and have 55m2 of clear deck space. Each of the vessels will be powered by two marine diesel engines to deliver a total 2400bhp. Strategic Marine’s managing director
for Singapore, Ron F Anderson, said: “Te company is extremely pleased to be doing business with another repeat client and we are looking forward to working closely with Baruna Raya Logistics on their newbuild programme.”
Anderson added: “Repeat business is
extremely important to Strategic Marine as it reflects our commitment and quality we extend to our clients. It also follows on from the four 31m crew boats that Strategic Marine delivered to Baruna Raya Logistics in March 2009.” Anderson said the company had started
2010 with a strong focus on new projects in several market sectors, with the yard’s current order book standing at more than US$200 million. This leaves the shipbuilding group in an enviable position in the current financial climate.

The shipbuilding group has recently
signed a contract to build four electric- powered water taxis at its Singapore yard, and its Vietnam yard continues with all of its projects on track. Anderson added: “Furthermore, we will
be constructing a second 40m crew boat on speculation aſter the first 40m crew boat we chose to build on speculation was purchased by Tiong Woon.” Tiong Woon is a Singapore-
headquartered one-stop integrated services specialist and provider of infrastructure businesses, supporting mainly the oil and gas, as well as petrochemical, power and construction sectors. Tiong Woon has operations in Malaysia,
Indonesia, Thailand, The Philippines, China and Saudi Arabia. Like the first 40m vessel, which is
scheduled to be delivered in October 2010, the second 40m vessel will incorporate a central deck house with seating for 50 rig crew and will reach speeds of 25kts. It will be a sister ship to the 14 vessels that have been delivered to a number of clients over the past five years, includingColibri I, Gelatik, Peregrin and Cocabora. SBI
