Looking at the Strategic Plan of PT PAL
21 July 2018

The 2018 National Technology Congress (KTN 2018) was held on July 17-19 2018 in the BPPT Jakarta Building Hall. This year, KTN focuses on Material Technology, Disaster Technology and Defense and Security Technology.

Especially for defense and security technology material, the 2018 National Conference of Defense and Security presented the theme "Encouraging National Independence through Mastery of Defense Industry Technology". Of course this theme attracted attention because a number of domestic defense industries were also the speakers.

The market leaders of the national defense industry, namely PT PAL, PT Dirgantara Indonesia, PT Pindad and PT LEN were also speakers, and it was the Directors themselves who delivered presentations.

One of the interesting materials was the presentation of PT PAL, because it contained the company's strategic plan after receiving the State Investment (PMN) fund of Rp. 1,500 billion (Rp. 1.5 trillion).

Submarine Facility
The PT PAL submarine production facility is the most recent facility owned by this company, the procurement of equipment was carried out with the assistance of South Korea to implement the Transfer of Technology (ToT) agreement in the purchase contract for three submarines of the DSME 1400 class (Nagapasa class) or the Korean version of the submarine. Type 209.

Although new, PAL is targeting to be able to produce its own submarines to fulfill Indonesian Navy orders. The first phase of work carried out here is the "joint section production" of the third submarine of the DSME 1400, namely KRI 405 Alugoro.

Regarding the plan of the Indonesian Navy to have 8 submarines by 2024, the shortage of three submarines can all be produced at PT PAL from the DSME 1400 series. The 4th submarine will still be carried out in joint production with DSME, because the torpedo alignment machine equipment is not yet owned so that out of a total of 6 modules, 1 module will be worked on in Korea.

PAL targets the PMN application of Rp 1.29 trillion to be disbursed immediately so that the 5th and 6th submarines can be fully worked on domestically. Likewise the submarine MRO can also be carried out in PAL. In the future PAL is ready to serve TNI orders to continue procuring submarines up to the ideal target of 12 units, and also export submarines to other countries.

Surface Combatant Facility
Currently this production facility is working on the PKR-105 (Sigma 10514) frigate and the KCR-60M fast missile boat ordered by the Indonesian Navy.

Until 2024, the Indonesian Navy needs a new frigate to replace 6 Van Speijk class ships and 24 fast missile boats which will be supplied of 2 types, namely KCR-60 (done by PAL) and KCR-40 (done at another shipyard).

For the PKR frigate, so far only 2 units have been realized which are carried out in joint production with the Dutch Damen Schelde. PAL stated its readiness to build the 3rd and 4th frigates of the PKR-105 type which will be fully built in Surabaya. For the 5th and 6th frigates where the Indonesian Navy wants to upgrade the class of ships to destroyers, PAL is also ready to carry out joint production with selected partners.

Multirole Ship Facility

The multirole ship production facility began with the production of 2 122m LPD (Landing Platform Dock) vessels as a result of the ToT agreement in the Makassar class 4 LPD procurement contract with South Korea.

It didn't stop there, PAL then got an order for 2 SSV ships based on the Makassar class and an additional 2 LPD orders from the Indonesian Navy. PAL continued the development of this type of vessel from 122m to 143m in length and then designed the 163m length as an MRSS vessel submission for tender for the Malaysian Navy (TLDM).

For this experience, PAL proposed a 244m long Landing Helicopter Dock / Landing Platform Helicopter (LHD / LPH) ship design to complement the Indonesian Navy's fleet. The design of this ship is even bigger than the neighboring ships belonging to the neighboring Canberra class-Australia, HTMS Chakri Naruebet-Thailand and Endurance 170-Singapore, also bigger than the French-class Mistral.

LPH / LHD is a ship used for amphibious landings, where the ship can carry 2 battalions of troops, 1 squadron of helicopters, 1 battalion of armored vehicles and other combat equipment. In times of peace, this ship can be used on humanitarian missions to help areas affected by natural disasters

A series of programs from PAL's strategic plan is part of the company's desire to increase the utilization of PT PAL's production facilities. The increase in utilization will bring the shipyard to reach economies of scale so that the company's profit will increase.

The mastery of defense industry technology carried out by PAL Indonesia can really encourage the independence of the nation, so that Indonesia will be able to produce its own defense equipment to protect this beloved country.

With the obstacles that have occurred, it seems that the submarine construction has been delayed by 5-10 years​

I wouldn't say obstacles but very high self confidence made people think they can achieve something within a few years; they ignored "experience" and "culture" part, they assumed they can seek&learn and start right away also as a result of ignoring how long it took them to gain experience on relatively simple platforms. They should give up comparing and taking other companies/countries as a base to their growth plan and look at the actual capabilities they have had to make a solid plan.

In my opinion submarine division should be entirely split with all of its personnel and budget, and shifted to direct supervision of the Navy's submarine command.

The delay is due to the late of government to build the submarine building facilities, it is either during first contract (assembling) and second contract (making whole submarine in the third sub), even the second contract is not yet executed despite has been signed in 2019. You are to quick to make an assumption

I am not making an assumption, i am telling the root of the cause. There are people (from top) who thinks PT PAL has mastered Type 209 and it will not take long to learn how to make any other sub. These kind issues, delays will exist as this mindset remains such while making plans.

The budget for building facilities to build whole submarine for second contract is just set for 2021 fiscal year and I dont know whether the budget has been given and if it does it may take 1 year to complete.

Looks like PT Lundin plan to launch Klewang 2 in the next few months.

"Meanwhile, PT Lundin Industry Invest, as the 2nd generation stealth shipbuilder, has announced that in the next few months it will launch the ship that is currently still at its factory in Banyuwangi, East Java."

From the article:
PT LII merupakan perusahaan yang dimiliki oleh dua orang kebangsaan Swedia, John Lundin dan Lizza Lundin.
Huh? I always thought she's Indonesian. If she already changed her nationality, are they allowed to own a company here in Indonesia?
On other hand, if her nationality is still Indonesian, then this is an example of sloppy reporting. It's disappointing since it came from Kompas although I can't say that I'm too surprised about it.

What else can you expect from kompas.com. Unlike their kompas.id counterpart (the original Kompas), kompas.com is in the same group as detik.com both equally bad. I typically only read kompas.id (e-paper)

Look like they are fond to using outsourcing companies services to do heavy maintenance or major overhaul for their major assets right now.
