Surabaya - Indonesia's time to build ships independently warships and civilian vessels. As stated by the Director of Human Resources (HR) and the General, PT PAL Indonesia, Soewoko mammal, to the group of journalists from the Ministry of Defense in Jakarta, Wednesday (2 / 11).
According Soewoko, up to date as much as 70 percent of the components of ships that made PT PAL Indonesia imported. "It's really unfortunate maritime country but it seems the company ships its not supported," he said.
Soewoko expects to ship in front of all the needs of both domestic commercial vessels and warships (civilian) made in PT PAL Indonesia. "I strongly support the presence of the Strategic Defence Industry Policy Committee (KKISP) formed the government," said Soewoko.
KKISP essentially all defense equipment should be used in domestic production.
According Soewoko, the problems experienced today is the lack of sustainability ship orders from the government, including other customers.
To that end, he proposed that the government and Parliament to make laws for the continuation of war orders ship or equipment for national defense. "We need the old order, with this defense industries such as PT PAL Indonesia could live economically," he said.
Another problem, he said, is the current number of human resources (HR) PT PAL Indonesia are limited and are aged 47 years and over. In 1980 the number of employees of PT PAL Indonesia as many as 6,000 people. Now it was just 1,600 people and 80 people including experts. "The absence of regeneration of human resources due to lack of funds. However, we now begin to recruit a new HR anymore," he said.
According Soewoko, the price of a ship that made PT PAL Indonesia at least U.S. $ 220 million per unit.
He said the Philippines has ordered a warship types Landing Platform Dock (LPD) to PT PAL Indonesia. "But the construction of this ship later, 70 percent of its components are still imported," he said. LPD type ships used to transport the war equipment such as weapons, ammunition and tanks and APCs.
