JAKARTA - PT Pertamina Trans Kontinental (PTK), a subsidiary of PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) reported that it had succeeded in escorting a passenger ship belonging to PT Pelni, KMP Umsini, from Makassar to the PT PAL Indonesia shipyard in Surabaya.
This escort process was carried out by the AHTS Transko Moloko mainstay fleet for the towing and salvage process, at the end of last July. With high maneuverability and capable attractiveness, Transko Moloko ensured that KMP Umsini could sail safely to the rejuvenation location in Surabaya.
PTK Operations Director Yudi Wibisono, said that the success of this mission is part of the company's commitment to supporting national maritime logistics resilience and strengthening synergy between SOEs.
This operation marks another success for the PTK fleet, where close collaboration with all stakeholders is able to present integrated marine logistics solutions. Transko Moloko is not just a tugboat, but a symbol of our resilience in maintaining the smooth running of national shipping," said Yudi, quoted Monday, August 11.
In the towing process, all stages ranging from hull inspections to full coordination with ports and marine security are carried out according to high safety standards applied by PTK.
"Every detail we take into account, because at sea there is no tolerance for mistakes. Waves and weather are daily challenges, but the long experience of our marine operations team is the main force in carrying out this task," added Yudi.
The success of this operation is clear evidence that Indonesia's maritime sector has adequate capabilities and infrastructure to handle complex projects. This also reflects the important role of PTK as the backbone of maritime logistics for Pertamina Group and strategic partners in maintaining national sea connectivity.

PTK is here as part of a national maritime logistics solution by deploying the AHTS ship Transko Moloko, which has high maneuverability and attraction for large-scale rescue operations.
