PT INDOBARUNA BULK TRANSPORT WAS FOUNDED

PT Indobaruna Bulk Transport (IBT) was first established in Jakarta with two bulk carriers of 15,000 DWT and one bulk carrier of 6,000 DWT. At first we operated as tramp shipping, transporting various bulk cargoes, such as: fertiliser, sugar, and flour.

THE FIRST STEP TOWARDS SPECIALISING IN BULK CEMENT CARRIERS

The year 1995 marked the period IBT transitioned to specialise with bulk cement carriers. IBT started out with the purchase of 15,952 DWT cement carrier built in Germany named MV Cement Success. Its first contract was given by PT Semen Padang, which also marked the beginning of long and lasting relationship with PT Semen Padang until this day. Later in the same year, we also obtained a contract from PT Semen Tonasa.

FIRST DELIVERY OF NEWLY BUILT, NEW SERIE VESSEL

Since we became specialised in cement carriers in 1995, we have increased and rejuvenated our fleet. Prior to 2014, we have purchased 17 cement carriers. In mid 2013, we built new serie vessels in Japan by Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co Ltd. These vessels are specifically designed which resulted in faster loading/discharging rate, enhanced safety, and increased efficiency. This newly built vessel was delivered in early 2014 and named MV Sawahlunto, a clear nod to honour our founder, the late Jahja Bahar, who was born in Sawahlunto of West Sumatra. Later on the same year, the second newly built vessel was also delivered to us, named MV Kota Padang, also in honour of Jahja Bahar’s wife, the late Mahgreta Rohana, who was born in Padang of West Sumatra.

THIRD DELIVERY OF NEWLY BUILT, NEW SERIE VESSEL

With the same specification as its sister ships, the third newly built vessel was delivered from Fukuoka Shipbuilding Co., Ltd., and named MV Oceanic Progress. These new series vessels proved to put us in the lead. With its high demand, we still have its sister ships in line. The next one, MV Oceanic Success, was delivered in 2016.
