Pertamina Marine Solutions Collaborates With Two Malaysian Companies
JAKARTA - PT Pertamina Marine Solutions (PMSol), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina Trans Kontinental (PTK), is expanding its business through the signing of strategic cooperation or Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with two Manning Agency companies from Malaysia.
Manning Agency is a company for the provision of ship crews that support various operations, both on land and off the coast. On this occasion, PMSol collaborated with the Advanced Shipship Borneo Sdn.Bhd (PMB) and the Varia Armada Sdn.Bhd (VAR).
The signing was carried out by representatives of PMSol, namely; Manager of Crewing Offshore PMSol Capt. Budi Wahyu Syafittra, Director of PMB Awang Shapian Bin Awang Sulong, and Director of VAR Anual Bis Ismail, went straight to Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia, on Tuesday last week.
PMSol Director Dian Prama Irfani said this strategic cooperation includes the provision and management of ship crews operated by PTK in Malaysian waters. This, he said, opened up opportunities for PMSol to participate in presenting international standard ship crews to compete in the global market.
"This cooperation is also a form of collaboration between Malaysian and Indonesian crew members, so that it can encourage crew capacity to be ready to compete in the international shipping world," said Irfani, Monday, July 29.
This collaboration, he continued, is also part of an important step in the PSMol journey towards the Company's vision and mission to become an international-scale company. This is in line with the need for a maritime world market for the increasing supply of crew members.
