Norway maritime technology solutions Kongsberg Maritime announced Tuesday the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) with state shipbuilder PT PAL Indonesia (PAL).
The signing ceremony took place at PAL’s headquarters in Surabaya.
The MoU with PAL builds on this foundation and defines a new framework for cooperation on energy efficient and decarbonised maritime solutions for Indonesian vessel owners and operators. The partnership also aligns with the roadmap jointly developed with Indonesia’s Ministry of Transportation during the establishment of Kongsberg Maritime’s local entity.

This MoU represents the next phase of Kongsberg Maritime’s growing commitment to the Indonesian maritime sector. In July 2025, the company expanded its national presence with the opening of two new offices in Jakarta and Batam, established to provide local sales, service, spare parts, and aftermarket support. This expansion was designed to strengthen customer engagement and deliver faster, more responsive support across Indonesia’s rapidly developing maritime landscape.
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.”
Wiyono Komodjojo, Chief Marketing Officer (CMO) of PAL said: “We are very pleased to formalise our collaboration with Kongsberg Maritime through this MoU. As Indonesia accelerates its maritime modernisation and decarbonisation efforts, strong partnerships with global technology leaders are essential.
