OSA Goliath; Indonesian shipbuilding

July 2009 - Earlier this year the OSA Goliath, built for Coastline Maritime by Drydocks World Pertama on the Indonesian island of Batam, was delivered. Earlier on, late 2008, I had the chance to bring a visit to this shipyard and have a look around on the then half-finished ship. With a dimension of 180x32x12 meters and a weight of 22,000 tonnes the vessel is undoubtedly the world's largest vessel in its class built so far and the largest ship ever built in Indonesia.

Batam; the failed Singapore?

April 2009 - Batam, at just a stones throw from the wealthy city-state of Singapore, has undergone tremendous growth just because of it's close proximity to that Singapore. Companies opened businesses on the island and the infrastructure was face-lifted. But the current Batam is in no way any match for Singapore because of a number of reasons. One of them, of course, is corruption.

Presidential visit in pictures

16 December 2008 - President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono was in Yogyakarta just for a short period. But as usual a President does not travel somewhere if he doesn't have his agenda filled. Coming from eastern Java yesterday, he traveled to the Prambanan temple in the morning while in the afternoon he officially opened Taman Pintar. His evening is probably filled with a dinner with the sultan and governor of Yogyakarta province, Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X, which could well be a next President as well.
