BEFORE 16TH CENTURY

 As any other maritime country in the world, shipbuilding

in Indonesia started with the building of wooden
conoes/praus and later developed to building wooden
sailing boats. This can be observed by the sailing ship
relief stone wall of the famous 8 th century Borobudur
temple in Central Java.
According to historians, Indonesian traders using sailing
ships had been trading in South east Asian waters since
early history and also to India and China, and even the
sailed as for as to east African coast (Madagascar island)
and to Central Pacific islands

Before 16th Century

From the 1st century indonesian trade ship has travelled far away until to the
afrika. Picture : ship relief on borabudur temple, k. 800 M (Source : Wikipedia)

Pinisi is the indonesian traditional sailing boat, that made by bugis tribe and makassar tribe at south
sulawesi since 14th century. Pinisi is the sailing boat that use sekunar sail with two pole and seven
strands of the sail. It has meaning that indonesian ancestor can beat seven big oceans in the world.

16TH 20TH CENTURY

 The exploration of western nations using sailing ships to various parts

of the world, including Indonesia, first for purposes and later for
colonization, had hampered the development of Indonesian
shipbuilding. Many restrictions were imposed upon colonized countries.
During that period of time, shipbuilding technology underwent
significant development in Europe particularly with the change of wood
material to steel and propulsion-by-sail to engine and propeller. But
such development could not be experienced by Indonesian shipbuilding
industry and the remained a backward industry producing wooden ship
with their traditional building method.
In the 19th and 20th century, modern steel shipbuilding industry was
introduced to Indonesia, but only by the establishment of shiprepairing
yards, while building of new ship were executed in European shipyards.
Educational institutions institutions in the field of shipbuilding
technology were non-existent in Indonesia.

16th- 20th Century

Patorani boat from south sulawesi is interesting . In 17th century, this boat was used
by royal fleet of goa kingdom and used to be fishing boat, especially to catch flying
fish.

WORLD WAR 2

 During Japanese occupation of Indonesia in World War II (19421945), the Japanese military government, making use of the
aboundant supply of teak wood on Java island, built hundreds of
modern motorized wooden cargo ships of about 300-400 T size
along the northern coast of Java island. Engines were produced at
machinery factories in Central and East Java. The ships were used
to carry logistic supply for their war machine and were sailing in
For Eastern, South-east Asian and South-western Pacific war
zones.
During that time, a shipbuilding technical high school was
established in Semarang, Central Java and this could be recorded
as the first educational institution in modern shipbuilding
technology in Indonesia.

World War 2

Padewakang ship is the trade ship in indonesia at 19 century. Padawekang ship owened by

SHIPYARD IN INDONESIA

In 1960, due to Indonesia-Dutch political conflict, all Dutch

companies, including dockyards, were nationalized by
Indonesia government and become state companies.
They were then modernized and additional facilities,
machineries and equipment were fitted to make them possessing
the capability to build new ships. Those companies were :
Dok Tanjung Priok, Jakarta (established in 1924)
Pakin Shipyard, Jakarta (established in 1924)
IPPA Shipyard, Jakarta, Cirebon (West Java), Semarang (Central
Java) (established in 1926)
Dok Surabaya, Surabaya (established in 1910)
Alir Menjaya Shipyard, Palembang (South Sumatra) (established
in 1930)

Shipyard In Indonesia

 Then many shipyard were established by goverment and

priavate sector, such as:
PT Surya Prima Bahtera Heavy Industries, Batam
Landing Craft, Oil Tanker, Tug boat, barge of RASTON Shipyard
