Subsea cable installation companies Global Marine Systems and PT Ketrosden Triasmitra will be forming a joint venture to provide subsea cable engineering and installation services to the telecommunications and oil & gas industries within the Indonesian market.
The partnership between the two companies will take up the installation of more than 600km of cable this year as the companies collaborate on the Luwuk-Tutuyan and Jambi-Batam submarine cable projects, and another 2000km projected over 2014.
The joint venture will address the Indonesian market and will own and operate cabotage-compliant vessels. In addition, the joint venture will provide feasibility studies, marine survey, shallow- and deep-water installation and burial solutions.
“Global Marine, with its unparalleled history in the provision of services to the submarine cable industry, is the ideal partner to expand our expertise and quality of service for our customers in Indonesia,” stated Ketut Romadhi, Triasmitra’s founder and CEO. “This partnership will position us well to further develop our telecommunications network and build upon our successes to date, while at the same our teams will have the benefit of learning from Global Marine’s long-standing experience in cable installation,” added Septono Karyadi, Triasmitra’s managing director.
