Krakatau Shipyard

What Krakatau Shipyard does

PT. Krakatau Shipyard is an Indonesian private shipbuilder and marine engineering company founded in 2011 and headquartered in Cilegon, Serang, Banten. The company operates a 5-hectare waterfront shipyard and delivers three core service lines: new shipbuilding (steel, aluminum, and fiberglass vessels including passenger ships, cargo barges, tugboats, military patrol craft, ambulance boats, and fiberglass boats), ship repair (structural welding, engine and machinery overhaul, hull cleaning and painting, routine maintenance), and ship modernization (navigation, propulsion, safety, and performance retrofits). Production is supported by dedicated facilities including a climate-controlled fiberglass workshop (Hangar 1), an aluminum fabrication workshop with TIG/MIG welding and 300-ton stock (Hangar 2), a CNC plasma cutting workshop in the Cikande Industrial Area, and a business development office in BSD, Tangerang Selatan.

The company's customer base is concentrated on Indonesian public-sector buyers. It holds a Ministry of Defense defense product manufacturing license (initial 2012, renewed 2019) and completed the Indonesian Navy Headquarters (Mabes TNI AL) assessment via the Naval Procurement Office in January 2023, qualifying it for military-grade naval vessel supply. Notable delivered projects include the Sabuk Nusantara 73 government-commissioned steel passenger ship for inter-island connectivity and aluminum military patrol vessels for the Indonesian Navy. Operations are certified to ISO 9001:2015, ISO 14001:2015, and ISO 45001:2018 by VRC International.

PT. Krakatau Shipyard generates revenue through project-based, quote-driven contracts for new vessel construction, repair, and modernization — predominantly with Indonesian government and defense customers. Sales are conducted via direct enterprise engagement through the BSD representative office, site inspections at the Serang shipyard, and participation in government procurement tenders. No external funding, parent company, or international geographic expansion is disclosed; the company operates as a domestically owned private enterprise.
