Praise be to God Almighty,
for without His blessings, all of our accomplishment so far would not have been possible. It is due to His good graces that we have passed the initial phase of our company's journey for the last twenty years with fruitful results.
We had started with almost nothing, but through sheer hard work, the commitment to earn customers' trust, and our willingness to keep learning both from successes and mistakes, we are thankful to have exceeded our own expectations. And now, we are on the path towards a further journey, which spans ahead with different opportunities and challenges. This journey will demand deeper commitments, stronger dedications, and harder efforts from our part.
With the upcoming challenges and changing business environments, all available strength and resources should be fully optimized. Management innovations need to be enhanced appropriately for the creation of service excellence, trustworthiness and customer satisfactions.
We would like to take this opportunity to convey our most sincere appreciations to all our customers and business partners, who continue to contribute sustainable supports to our progress. We are hoping to reach a better climate of cooperation in the future. Similar gratitude should also be rendered to the management team and all onshore and offshore personnel. Their dedications and contributions is what fuel us to continue our journey.
Thank you for entrusting your business with us, PT. GURITA LINTAS SAMUDERA.
The year 1971 marked the start of PT. GURITA LINTAS SAMUDERA embarking on its journey, first under the banner of OYAMA / PT. TJAHAYA SAMUDERA INTERNATIONAL. Then it changed its name to LINTAS SAMUDERA in 1980, before assuming its current name in 1988 when Mr. Soenarto took over the helm of the company. From an empaty shell with no fleet under its name, within just a year, the company had ownership of 3 vessels, MV. Merica, Mandiri Satu and Salindo Perdana I, and chartered 5 additional ships, with a total cargo volume of 1,000,000 m³log.
The company then continued to implement systematic restructuring to better create customer satisfactions and develop trustworthiness. The result is apparent in its vigorous progress, in spite of facing a highly contested market environment. And when the economic crisis hit in 1998, the company steadily weathered the storm, even diversifying its range of cargo to import rive, cement, up to fertilizers. The fleet in operation has also been increasing steadily over the two decades, and by 2014, the company owned a total of 14 ships of various types and capacity, ranging from 1.800 to 52.000 dwt, and 15 sets of tug & barge.
The capability to fulfill all required shipping compliance is an integral part of the progress. As such, the International Safety Management Code (ISM Code) has been awarded to PT. GURITA LINTAS SAMUDERA in 2001, along with ISO 9001-2000 in 2002, ISO 14001 and OHSAS 18001 in 2015.
Today, PT. GURITA LINTAS SAMUDERA feels confident in its capacity to provide a full range of shipping services, from basic ship-owning and operations, to agency, stevedoring, and ship management services, all the way to specific tailor-made services based on customers' particular requirements.
