PaxOcean has successfully completed the redelivery of the Cable Laying Vessel (CLV) Bentang Bahari to Indonesia’s PT Ketrosden Triasmitra Tbk, marking another milestone in the company’s ship conversion portfolio at PaxOcean Batam Yard.
Originally built as a Platform Supply Vessel, Bentang Bahari underwent a comprehensive conversion to meet advanced subsea cable installation standards. The vessel is now DNV-certified and equipped with DP2 dynamic positioning, an A-Frame, plough, linear cable engine, ROV support, and a 2,400-ton cable capacity, enabling precision cable laying and maintenance in offshore environments.
Jerome Chew, COO of PaxOcean Group, highlighted the project as “a testament to the dedication of our teams and a step forward for Indonesia’s telecommunications infrastructure.” He emphasized that the vessel will play a key role in enhancing Indonesia’s digital backbone and supporting the nation’s connectivity growth.
To recognize exceptional safety performance, PaxOcean was granted an HSE Incentive Bonus for completing the conversion without any Lost Time Injury (LTI).
Triasmitra’s CEO, Titus Dondi, expressed gratitude to PaxOcean for its professionalism and strong collaboration throughout the project. He noted that the vessel’s successful completion reflects both companies’ shared commitment to excellence and operational safety.
The Bentang Bahari project reinforces PaxOcean’s position as a trusted partner in specialized vessel conversions, supporting Asia’s growing subsea cable infrastructure sector.
