PT IKI to build more ships

UJUNGPANDANG (JP): PT Pengembangan Armada Niaga Nasional Multi
Finance (PANN) has contracted PT Industri Kapal Indonesia (IKI)
to build 17 round-hull Mina Jaya fishing boats and several Caraka
Jaya cargo ships.

PT PANN's president, A. Rahkmat Pasha, was quoted by Antara as
saying here Thursday that PT IKI had received the materials to
build the first eight Mina Jaya boats.

He said the materials for the remaining boats were expected to
be delivered by October next year.

PT IKI's president, La Adrian Ifie, said his company had sent
250 personnel to Spain to undertake an advanced shipping-
technology traineeship to prepare for the project.

PT PANN, a state-owned company which leases ships, contracted
PT IKI in August to build 14 double-chine boats. (06)
