JAKARTA – PT Humpuss Maritim Internasional (HUMI) is a subsidiary of the Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi (HITS) Group which carries out various business services in the field of energy distribution and infrastructure as well as port and maritime ecosystems in the country.
One of the business segments owned by HUMI as part of supporting services in the port and maritime ecosystem is ship management, operated through PT Humolco LNG Indonesia (HLI), especially for LNG vessels.
“Operations for this segment are handled by PT Humolco LNG Indonesia in collaboration with another principal, namely Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd,” said the Main Director of HUMI, Tirta Hidayat.
Almost all LNG vessels currently managed by HUMI through HLI are tankers that transport liquefied natural gas (LNG). Curious about what services HUMI offers through this business segment?
1. Ship Maintenance
HLI carries out ship maintenance services owned by its customers. Some of these services include checking the condition of the ship’s hull, cargo hold system, as well as various machines and equipment on the ship.
2. Manning
Not only providing ship maintenance services, HUMI through HLI also provides ship manning services operated by professional maritime personnel who are recognized by trusted certification bodies.
3. Vessel Seaworthiness Certification
Every ship that sails must of course have a seaworthiness certificate regulated by the relevant policy makers. In this case, HLI assists customers in fulfilling various requirements to obtain ship seaworthiness certification. These services are mainly carried out to ensure that every vessel operates and is properly managed in accordance with the requirements listed in the SIRE, TMSA and ISO quality standards (ISO: 9001), as well as environmental standards (ISO: 14001 & OHSAS ISO: 18001).
“Currently, the ship management service run by HLI is responsible for managing several LNG fleets owned by PT GTS Internasional Tbk (GTSI), Ekaputra 1 and Triputra Ships,” added Tirta.
In addition to managing several LNG vessels owned by subsidiaries in the same group, HLI also manages one LNG vessel owned by Mitsui OSK Lines Ltd and one Floating Storage and Regasification Unit (FSRU) owned by PT Jawa Satu Regas (JSR), namely FSRU Jawa Satu in Cilamaya, West Java.
