"This is evident in the number of ships that passed certification such as the Paris MOU and those that passed the Ship Inspection Report Program (SIRE) increased. This means that our ships are increasingly being accepted in the international market," added Yoki.

Evidently, revenue from non-captive markets in the first semester has reached 369.9 million US dollars or 22.8 percent of total revenue, growing significantly from a proportion of 15.7 percent throughout 2022.
