JAKARTA - PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) is ready to bridge Indonesia's veins in the form of marine logistics.

"PT PIS is one of Pertamina's subholdings. PIS is a marine logistics that plays a role in bridging or channeling all of Indonesia's veins," said Director of Human Resources and Business Support of PT PIS M. Ferry Bagdja during a virtual Ramadhan Safari in Jakarta, quoted from Antara, Wednesday May 6th.

According to Ferry, logistics means port to port, and Pertamina International Shipping connects these pulse points in the form of marine logistics.

"If the Indonesian government entrusts PT PIS as the artery or port to port systems in Indonesia, then what we have to do is serve the country and the nation. We must be ready to provide the best for PT Pertamina International Shipping," he said.

PT Pertamina International Shipping is a subholding of PT Pertamina (Persero) which was formed as an international shipping company with the vision of "The leading shipping company in Asia, fighting for Indonesia's economic development".

With the aim of becoming a company that grows and develops, a long-term company plan is formed as a roadmap or direction for PT PIS management in running its business.

Previously, State Owned Enterprises Minister Erick Thohir, Wednesday, inaugurated PIS as a subholding of PT Pertamina (Persero). BUMN Minister Erick Thohir said that this inauguration was the first step for PT PIS to continue to strengthen its position in the energy industry from the marine and logistics side.

Meanwhile, Pertamina's President Director Nicke Widyawati said that this strategic step was part of Pertamina's plan to integrate the business of PT PIS which would later not only manage ships but also to the marine and logistics business.

Nicke also hopes that the integration of shipping, marine and logistic services under PT PIS will strengthen its position in the maritime sector through the synergy of assets and services in the future so that PT PIS can develop more nationally and globally and run its business in order to support the use of green energy.
