PT PAL RECEIVES ORDERS TO BUILD 21 SHIPS WORTH RP3.8 TRILLION
Jakarta, Sept 15 (ANTARA) - State-owned shipbuilding company PT PAL has received orders to build 21 ships worth Rp3.8 trillion up to 2009, the company's chief said.
"The projects are already in hand. The next thing we need to do is meeting the orders," PT PAT president director Hasusanto said in reply to a reporter's question here on Monday.
He said orders for ship construction in the world were now on the rise.
"We have to capitalize on this situation. We should not reject any order as long as the deadline for construction is set at after 2012," he said.
He said China, for example, needed five years to finish a ship building order.
"So, an order placed now can be completed only after 2012," the PT PAL chief said.
He said PT PAL's shipbuilding construction orders among others came from Turkey, Germany and Italy.
PT PAL would need at least US$40 million to finance the cost for the construction of ships in the coming three years (2010), he added.
The state-owned company is a strategic industry with technological competitive edge, and is able to build ships of up to 50,000 dead weight tons (DWT).
