        "summary": "Danantara COO Dony Oskaria says a merger between port operator Pelindo and shipping company Pelni is unlikely because they operate in distinct industries, despite both being maritime businesses. He said potential consolidation between Pelni and ferry operator ASDP could be considered, while stressing that mergers should focus on companies with similar business activities to improve efficiency.",
        "content": "<p>Jakarta (ANTARA) - Danantara Chief Operating Officer (COO) and Head\nof the SOE Regulatory Agency (BP BUMN) Dony Oskaria believes a merger\nbetween PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (Pelindo) and PT Pelayaran Nasional\nIndonesia (Pelni) is unlikely because their businesses have different\ncharacteristics.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe also have to examine each company\u2019s business model. We cannot\nsimply bring them together because they operate at sea; each already\nfollows its industry\u2019s best practices,\u201d Dony said in Jakarta on\nThursday.<\/p>\n<p>He added that the two companies in the maritime and waters sector\nhave substantially different industry focuses. Pelindo operates in the\nport industry, while Pelni is in the shipping industry.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cPelindo is in the port industry. The other one, Pelni, is in\nshipping. So they cannot be merged; they do not match. Although both\noperate at sea, that does not mean they should be merged,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere will certainly be no merger between Pelni and Pelindo, because\nthey are two different businesses. I have never said that Pelni and\nPelindo would be merged. They are two different things: one is ports,\nthe other is transport,\u201d Dony stressed.<\/p>\n<p>Asked about the possibility of a merger between Pelni and PT ASDP\nIndonesia Ferry (Persero), he said it would need to be assessed against\nvarious considerations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThat might be possible, but we need to look at their respective\nuniqueness and other factors. Everything must be carefully considered;\nwe have first merged companies in the same industry,\u201d Dony said.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cFor example, insurance companies are clearly in the same field, so\nwe merged them. We also merged asset management companies and industrial\nestate companies. Their business types were already the same, so the\nmergers made them more efficient,\u201d he added.<\/p>",
