IHC Dredging has signed a contract with PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa, a subsidiary of the Jhonlin Group, one of the largest companies in Indonesia founded by Mr. H. Samsudin Andi Arsyad, for the purchase of two more Beaver® 65 cutter suction dredgers. This is the second order from this valued customer in a short period of time and further strengthens IHC Dredging’s position as a trusted partner in the Indonesian dredging industry.
The two Beavers® 65, with a 650 mm discharge pipe diameter, have an extended dredging depth of maximum 25 metres, and will equipped with the following additional upgrades: fuel separation system, state-of-the-art radioactive production measurement system and dredge track presentation system (DTPS) with an accuracy of up to two centimetres.
This latest order follows the successful delivery in 2024 of a Beagle® 4 to PT. Jhonlin Marine Trans (also a subsidiary of PT. Jhonlin Group) and of a Beaver® 65 to PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa. With the addition of these two new dredgers, Jhonlin Group continues to expand its fleet with proven technology, demonstrating its confidence in the reliability and performance of IHC Dredging’s vessels.
Rangga Rishar Saputra, Country Manager Indonesia for Royal IHC, commented: “We are honoured to be given the opportunity in developing the dredging capacity of PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa. This significant commitment marks an important milestone in our collaboration. It further strengthens our commitment to support the dredging capabilities of PT. Jhonlin Group in Indonesia”.
SAMSON, the Beagle® 4, and JHONI 59, the Beaver® 65 – named after the owner’s son – are currently demonstrating their dredging capabilities in Batulicin, South Kalimantan. The two vessels are maintaining the required dredging depth of the coal transport and biodiesel terminal, with IHC Dredging engineers providing continuous on-site support to ensure optimal and efficient operations.
IHC Dredging’s Beaver® range is renowned for its reliability, fuel efficiency, low maintenance costs, and outstanding performance. Both newly ordered vessels will be delivered from stock and are expected to be delivered in September 2025.
Mr. Isam (owner of PT. Dua Samudera Perkasa) signed the contract in the presence of Mr. Junaidi (Legal Counsel Jhonlin Group), and IHC Dredging representatives Rangga Rishar Saputra (Country Manager Indonesia), Alexander van den Berg (Director Standard Modular) and Rob Boersma (Managing Director IHC APAC)
