Video: To Distribute Gas to Remote Areas, the Shipping Industry Needs Secure Contracts

Jakarta, CNBC Indonesia - The shipping industry, particularly those involved in oil and gas distribution, faces several challenges related to business certainty and a supportive investment climate, according to the Director of Operations at Sillo Maritime Perdana, Sofwan Farisyi.

This is necessary considering that oil and gas distribution in Indonesia requires specific types of vessels, thus requiring significant investment. Therefore, industry players need market certainty and long-term contracts, as well as government policy support, to be able to invest clearly.

In addition, the shipping industry also needs reliable ship crews to support ship operations. On the other hand, strengthening energy infrastructure is needed to distribute oil and gas to all corners of the country and support Indonesia’s energy resilience.
