JAKARTA - PT Hasnur Internasional Shipping Tbk (HAIS), a company providing logistics and sea transportation, strengthens operational performance by increasing the TB Hasnur 18 tugboat fleet and Hasnur 338 barge.

"The addition of this fleet is in an effort to target the transport volume of 11.2 million metric tons (MT) in 2024," said Operations Director of PT Hasnur Internasional Shipping Tbk Laorentina Devi in a statement in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Friday, May 17.

The inauguration ceremony of the new fleet was marked by a 'Tampung Tawar' traditional ceremony held on the Putting River, Tabalong, South Kalimantan. Tampung Tawar is a tradition of Dayak Kalimantan Muslims which aims to express gratitude, wish them blessings, and reject disasters.

Laorentina Devi, who was present at the inauguration in her speech, said that the inauguration of TB Hasnur 18 and BG Hasnur 338 was an addition of a fleet set to fulfill a set of tugboat and barge fleets that had been officially operated at the end of last year. In 2024, the Company targets to add another 2 sets of fleets. This is to encourage the achievement of the 2024 target of transportation volume of up to 11.2 million metric tons (MT).

"Alhamdulillah, today we can inaugurate the operation of the new HAIS fleet, namely TB Hasnur 18 and BG Hasnur 338. Hopefully we can add the next set of ships at the end of semester I and semester II," he said.

The investment in the purchase of this new fleet of ships, continued Laorentina Devi, is the company's full commitment to spur effectiveness and part of the implementation of shipping excellence, which is an operation excellence program.

"This is also in line with one of HAIS' visions, which is to provide the best, safe, timely, and efficient service for customers to support the company's competitiveness," he said.

TB Hasnur 18 has a engine capacity of 2,200 horsepower (HP) which can pull a barge measuring 330 feet with a carrying capacity of 10,500 MT. Until May 2024, PT Hasnur Internasional Shipping Tbk operates 15 tugboats and 16 barges.
