Indonesian shipping line Pelni to buy six 200-300 TEUers for US$37 million
INDONESIA's state-owned shipping line Pelni will purchase six second-hand feeder vessels - ranging from 200-300 TEU under 10 years old - for IDR500 billion (US$37 million) in support of President Joko Widodo's maritime highway scheme.
According to local media, the national shipping company is buying the vessels to improve service on the seven maritime highway routes, located in eastern Indonesia. Frequency is currently limited, as each route is only served by one ship, reported Colchester's Seatrade Maritime News.
Four of the ships are scheduled for delivery late this year while the last two will arrive in early 2018, according to Pelni's cargo and logistics director Harry Boediarto.
