Kongsberg Maritime, a global leader in marine technology, has signed a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with Indonesia’s PT PAL to advance energy-efficient and decarbonised maritime solutions.
The company’s portfolio spans automation, navigation, propulsion, dynamic positioning, energy management, deck handling, and vessel design, supporting safer, more efficient and sustainable operations worldwide.
The agreement builds on Kongsberg Maritime’s expanded presence in Indonesia, including new offices in Jakarta and Batam opened in July 2025, which provide local sales, service, spare parts, and aftermarket support.
These facilities aim to deliver faster, more responsive service to shipowners and operators in Indonesia’s rapidly developing maritime sector.
Wenche Andersen, Managing Director, APAC Service Management at Kongsberg Maritime, said: “Today’s signing marks the beginning of a meaningful partnership with PT PAL— one that supports Indonesia’s maritime ambitions and advances our shared goals for energy efficiency and decarbonisation.
“With our expanded presence in Indonesia and a strong foundation built alongside national authorities, we are committed to enabling long term, sustainable value for shipowners and the wider maritime community.”

“PT PAL has long been committed to delivering high quality, future ready vessels for our national fleet, and this cooperation will support us in integrating advanced energy efficient and low emission technologies into newbuilds and retrofits alike. Together, we aim to strengthen Indonesia’s maritime capabilities and contribute to a more sustainable industry for the years ahead.”
The MoU sets a framework for cooperation on energy-efficient solutions for Indonesian vessel owners and operators, aligning with the roadmap developed with Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation during the establishment of Kongsberg Maritime’s local operations.
