whereas in transit. This is to be essentially of the business PT Pelindo I in Area STS Karimun,
STS Nipa & ST Batam, is in.
Sea waters of Riau archipelago (Karimun, Nipah & Batam) strategic transit voyages in the heart
of Southeast Asia and at the nexus of major shipping routes and conduit for world trade. Being
the world’s top sailing lane, Area of STS Karimun, STS Nipa & ST Batam is connected to 600
ports, with daily sailings to every major port of call in the world.
With its unrivalled connectivity, many mother vessel (VLCC) vessels bring LNG, Gas, Oil & Oil
Product to Consignee ports. At STS Karimun, STS Nipa & ST Batam, these cargo get delivering
onto receiving same and different size vessels which will then carry the shipment to their final
destination.
The value of STS Cargo Operation lies in that it is more cost efficient and time saving than the
vessel making a single direct voyage.
POAC and the appropriate high quality standard of STS Equipment (CDI, OCIMF, ICS &
SIGTTO) that we have, to make perfect the services we provide, minimize time completed of
STS Cargo Operation activity less than 48 hours .
