Indonesia · National yard register · Owner-side desk

Every Indonesian shipyard, one register — and one desk to supervise the work.

Indonesia Shipyard maps national dry dock and repair capacity from Batam to Sorong, then runs yard selection, tendering and docking or refit supervision on the owner's side. Quotations in USD.

01The register

Who can actually take your vessel

Indonesia's working yard capacity, organised by cluster and dock type. Screen on geometry first — LOA, beam, draft, certified lift — before any commercial question is opened.

Cluster Dock type Max LOA Tonnage band Typical vessels
Batam large private yards Graving & large floating docks 180–300 m to ~80,000 DWT Bulkers, tankers, container feeders, offshore units
Surabaya state & private yards Graving, floating, slipway to ~190 m to ~50,000 DWT Newbuild & repair, naval, tankers, ro-ro
Jakarta state-owned docks (Tanjung Priok) Graving & floating to ~150 m to ~20,000 DWT Cargo, ferries, government fleet
Lamongan shipbuilding belt Slipways, airbag launch, graving to ~120 m to ~10,000 GT Newbuild LCT, barges, tugs, repair
Makassar industrial yards Graving, slipway to ~120 m to ~10,000 GT Cargo, ferries, pinisi-hull conversions
Balikpapan & Banjarmasin Floating docks, airbag to ~110 m to ~8,000 GT Coal barges, tugs, OSV
Charter-fleet haul-out (NTT / Maluku) Slipway, airbag to ~55 m to ~500 GT Liveaboards, timber & steel charter vessels

02Selection & vetting

Four-step yard selection protocol

The same protocol runs for every owner, whether the vessel is a 300 GT liveaboard or a 15,000 DWT product tanker.

Geometry match

The dock must fit LOA, beam, draft and certified lift capacity. Anything that fails geometry leaves the list before price is discussed.

Document vetting

Dock certificates, welder and procedure qualifications, coating facilities, class relationships, and recent references for your vessel type.

Tender & tariff

RFQ structured in the yard's own tariff layers — dues, lay days, steel by kilogram, coatings by square metre — so bids compare line by line.

Slot & contract

Dock slot secured against your survey window; payment schedule, retention and remeasure rules fixed before the vessel sails in.

Slipway haul-out · NTT / Maluku

The smallest cluster on the register

The smallest cluster on the register and the one charter operators live by: airbag and marine-railway haul-out for hulls to about 55 m, where the binding constraint is tide and cradle geometry rather than tonnage.

03Supervision

Owner-side supervision at the yard

A yard executes; an owner's representative verifies. An independent eye on quantities, welds, coatings and schedule is the difference between the invoice you approved and the invoice you receive.

Docking

Docking supervision

Attendance from dock-in to undocking: steel remeasure verification, coating hold points, machinery scope sign-off, daily photo log to the owner.

Ship repair desk

Refit

Refit oversight

Refit and conversion programmes managed from scope to redelivery — yard matching, long-lead equipment, systems upgrades, sea trials.

Vessel refit desk

Newbuild

Newbuild management

Newbuild supervision from contract review and plan approval through block construction, launch and delivery, aligned with class survey stages.

04Standards

The survey cycle your docking schedule answers to

Classed vessels dock to a survey clock, not a preference: two docking surveys in each five-year special survey period, never more than 36 months apart. Dock slots are aligned to that cycle so a docking and a survey are one event, not two costs.

Year 0

Special survey

Docking paired with class renewal — the heaviest scope of the cycle.

≤ 36 months

Intermediate docking

Second docking survey of the period; hull, sea valves, shaft and anodes witnessed.

Annual

Annual surveys

Afloat where permitted; findings feed the next docking specification.

Year 5

Cycle restarts

Next special survey — slots at flagship graving docks book out months ahead.

05Cost desk

What routine docking actually costs

Indicative national bands for routine docking scope, in USD. Steel renewal, coating systems and machinery findings move the number — which is why quantities are verified, not assumed.

Vessel class Typical size Routine band (USD) Duration
Harbour / coastal tug to 500 GT 25,000–80,000 7–14 days
General cargo / coaster 1,500–5,000 GT 90,000–250,000 12–21 days
Product tanker 3,000–15,000 DWT 150,000–500,000+ 14–30 days
Passenger ferry / ro-ro 1,000–5,000 GT 120,000–350,000 14–25 days
Charter / liveaboard vessel to 500 GT 15,000–60,000 7–14 days

07Questions

Questions

Owners ask the desk

The six questions that open almost every enquiry to this desk.

How do I choose a reliable shipyard in Indonesia for dry docking?
Screen on geometry first — the dock must fit LOA, beam, draft and certified lift — then vet on documents: dock certificates, welder qualifications, coating facilities, class relationships, and references from owners of similar vessels.
How often must a classed vessel dry dock?
Standard class practice: two docking surveys in each five-year special survey period, with no more than 36 months between them — one usually paired with the special survey itself. Your vessel's survey status list is the controlling document.
How far ahead should I book a dock slot?
Two to four months for planned dockings at reputable yards; longer for flagship graving docks and ahead of seasonal peaks — demand clusters before monsoon trading windows and fleet fiscal-year cycles.
Can foreign-flagged vessels repair and dock in Indonesia?
Yes. Foreign-flagged vessels dock at Indonesian yards routinely; the desk coordinates temporary import formalities, agency and class attendance so the yard slot and the paperwork land in the same window.
What payment schedule do Indonesian yards expect?
Mobilisation on docking, progress against verified work, final settlement at redelivery — retention against the punch list is negotiable at reputable yards. Releases should follow verified quantities.
Who is behind Indonesia Shipyard and how does the desk charge?
Indonesia Shipyard is a specialist maritime brand under Juara Holding Group; construction, repair and refit contracts are issued by PT Komodo Galangan Nusantara. The desk quotes in USD per programme — yard selection, tendering and supervision are itemised separately.

Send vessel particulars and the window you need

LOA, beam, draft, tonnage, class status and the survey window. Scope comes back itemised in USD — yard work, owner-supplied equipment and supervision kept as separate lines so one can change without renegotiating the others.
