After returning the Indonesian business delegation to visit China recently disclosed that China's shipbuilding enterprises has agreed to research on the island of Java (Java) northern provinces Banten invested (Banten) the feasibility of the shipyard.

According to Indonesia investment institutions as a whole (BKPM) investment planning, deputy director of Tamba Hutapea, according to the Chinese ship companies are interested in building the main maximum 2 - small merchant shipyard, annual production capacity forecast between 30 to 50 ships.

But Hutapea did not disclose the specific identity of Chinese enterprises.

Indonesia has been aspiring main shipbuilding countries, but although in modern facilities, management and invest a lot of professional knowledge, but there are still some problems lead to progress. At present, the domestic shipyard is mostly for the shipbuilding, rarely favored private owner order - which or shipyard in China.

If can exploit resources and specialized knowledge of China, Indonesia will vigorously promote growth for the commercial cargo ship building.

Before been successful precedent, manufacturers in banten Indonesia and Singapore joint venture factory, and have been for international customers a high standard of Marine engineering ship and rig delivery.

But in addition to involvement in the international financial market, Chinese shipyard general rarely to factories overseas. But if this success, they will can get strong foothold in the lucrative market.

Indonesian President zonko (Joko Widodo) since he took office last year, has been the development of shipping industry as a focus on planning matters.

The islands countries despite having huge merchant navy, but most of them small ship form, and aging serious, inefficiency, lack of competitiveness. Part of the ships even dating back to 1970 s, but because the sealing properties of coastal trade, so the ship is still in the business as usual.

To this end, a zonko plan by creating a "Sea Toll roads" (Sea Toll Road) - by the size of the hub port network system and modern, efficient service, so as to change the pattern of domestic shipping industry. Zonko believes that this will help to reduce transport costs and increase market extension, and ultimately boost the country's rural economic development.

Zonko's goal is a new fleet, and hope that these ships are build in China. Earlier this year, said he was considering banning state-owned shipping enterprises under the condition of the domestic order to ship, to overseas orders. In addition, he also mentioned by raising tariffs, to encourage the private owners in the domestic shipbuilding.

According to this view, regardless of the state-owned enterprises, private enterprises in Indonesia company will be hard to continue to order the ship in China. So now that can't to China, China shipyard also had to go to Indonesia factory.

According to the proposed joint venture of the shipyard's main ship size, clear, their goal is to obtain the Indonesian customers, rather than for the export orders.
