The need ofRESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT

SUPPORT

to increase competitiveness ofNational Shipbuilding Industry

Introduction• The implementation of cabotage principles for inter island

transportation based on Presidential Instruction No. 5 2005and Shipping Laws No. 17 2008 trend to increase demandof new ships for domestic markets.

• These condition has also affected the significant growth ofnational shipbuilding industry.

• National energy policy is increasing demand of new ships todistribute gas (LNG & LPG) and coal. Some ships are nowbeing built in national shipyards for PERTAMINA.

• In order to anticipate those needs, national shipyards mustbe able to provide design and engineering of ships

• Most of shipyards in Indonesia do not have research anddevelopment capability, especially to develop design andengineering of innovative ships

• In fact, the support of research and development institutionis still very low because of lack of capacity and budgetconstraints

• A need of government support for development ofstandardized competitive ships to cater for domesticshipping is addressed.

Research and Development of Ship Product

• Presently National Policy in R&D is still focused onresearch based activities. An example of this iscompetitive based reseach programme (Riset UnggulanTerpadu) by Ministry of Research and Technology.

• The increase of competitiveness in national shipbuildingindustry requires activities more focused ondevelopment.

• Development of ship products cover activities of designand engineering

• Design… process and art of creating, planning andmaking detailed drawing of something

• Engineering ….activities and work involved in designingand constructing ship, machinery, engines etc.

Capability Of Ship Product Development

• Most national shipyards is capable in developing designand engineering for small ships of various types such astug boat, ferry roro ships, cargo vessels, fishing vessels.

• Some shipyards ordered design and engineering packagesfrom local and overseas design companies

• A notable development by PT. PAL was the design of50.000 Dwt bulk carrier branded as Star Fifty

• Some of local universities such ITS participate in researchactivities related to ship engineering, but very limited onactivities related to the development of ship products. Theconstraint is available budget.

PROPOSED STRATEGYto support competitiveness of national shipyards

(1) To conduct a review of existing development activities related toship products conducted by some institution in Indonesia

(2) To improve and develop the ship products based on the review.

(3) To evaluate the future needs of ship products required by domesticshipping

(4) To develop design and engineering of standardized competitive shipproducts, especially to cater for domestic shipping needs.

(5) If needed, to conduct collaboration with reputable design andengineering companies

(6) To promote the need of goverment support to allocate the budget fordevelopment activities of ship products

(7) To promote the implementation of Goverment Regulation (PP) No.35 Year 2007 on Research and Development Tax Incentive schemein more practical way
