Among the projects that we have done are:
Launder DJN 11 (middle of 2014)

 

Frankly This launder was the second. The first launder we made was different in the structure of leg.

The complicated structure in this launders were prepared the launder. 

Those were plate join with pipe. Always need fair the pipe before join with plate. We have to make template before cut the pipe. All of item must be prepared well. base on this experiences we need about 1 week to complete this launder.  

Desember 2014, We were offered a job for Link Bridge. Owner is Petronas. This Link Bridge consist of H-Beam. We had Problem at leveling adjusting. But we did it, because discussion assisted us to run our decision. We finish this project about 1 month.

JSE to CITRA SHIPYARD

Main Cont   :  PT. CITRA SHIPYARD
Sub. Cont    :  PT. SINAR COMBA-COMBA
Project         :  SPOB
Position       :  MARKER
Status          :  Contract Employment


I will give some reviews for this Project. This SPOB is a Hand Over Job from the previous subcon who reportedly ran out of funds to pay the salaries of the employees. They say that the subcon not work in accordance with the prescribed schedule.
However , we must continue to work in accordance with an agreement with maincon namely PT. CITRA SHIPYARD.
We start from the condition before hand over. We faced many-many problem on this fabrication. I thought that this SPOB was not checked by QC or PIC of the main cont. But We had to work hard.

These were the great part of the SPOB that still not ready in fabrication process, include miss alignment or replacement plates. Require approximately 12 months to complete its body. That does not include parts of Pipes, Meccanic, Electric, and Carpenter. Hopefully this ship 18 months launching, estimated 30 April 2015. We hope so. This was the result of our progress involving about 70 people at the height of process and on the wane until March 2015.

According to the name , SPOB is a kind of barge which has its own propeller. So it can move itself. Otherwise, Barge itself   is a tool in the sea or river transport which has the following simple construction  and others that followed. So that,  SPOB has a greater price than the  regular barge.

In this yard, SPOB is the ship, even be called Tankers. Fact, This type is  not a barge, and fabrication process , cost and etc.  are  not the same as the barge. But That were happened. In bad condition of economic , some people have to brave to  speculate or gamble , though he himself realizes not going to win.

 

Hopefully this project useful and keep  running smoothly. We intend that all we have done got the blessing of Allah. and useful for human life. Aamiin.

  

At least It get launch to the sea......

YEARS 2013-2014

Decreasing of business activity in the shipyard industry , the more prospective unemployment will occur and will continue to  increase in crime. Base of this condition I applied to PT.

Project In Terengganu Malaysia

January 2008, I began to go  Malaysia. My trip started from batam, johor, and continue to terengganu. We were placed on the  Duyong island (name of district) . MSET sdn. Bhd. is the main company  were 24 people from batam working to built the Supply Boat Vessel 60 m (YN5741/42) 2 units. I  act as markers and loft man again.
From here I have started to create a blog. (http://doni-marker.blogspot.com/). it has been so long I do not update this blog, because i forget my old email address. On this page I will quote a bit of our activities in terengganu.

Malaysia is one of prosperous country I think. Good country, good goverment, and good citizen. It's a lovely place that I had ever been before, clean and orderly state. I say thank u very much for our agent in Indonesia (batam), and agent in Malaysia. Malaysia accept us with good expectation, although we ever ambushed by imigration at midle night. But it was not big problem because we have complete documents. Otherwise I can't imagine what will happen. 

I spend my time at mold loft, made body line and template. I didi it with a helper from myanmar. His name in 'yu nang swe'. And that was my first time to join with people from other country. It was lovely...new experiences. 

In this occation I want to warn my friends to comport oneself. Before go to Malaysia ask them about visa and permit process. becarefull about the cheater agent. The risk is jail....

After I resigned from PT. BATAMEC (2006), I moved to PT. PERKASA MELATI , be employe of sub contractor Dynasty.  I continued the project of others who was staying away. Many problems that must be repaired at this crane barge. We found problems in the leveling which very closely with surveyor or classification of ship. So we make several repair of Trans bulkhead to make good leveling. In this case we use hose water level.  

I started my adventure here and  be one team with Mr. Ali Matondang, he was a Marker too. It was one of the mistakes of management, with 2 marker. I Though just 1 person  with consideration of the job difficulties. 

After 2 months, the heavy work had passed, just waiting for the Installation of crane pedestal. A friend called me and offered to work on larger projects and more challenging. Indeed this was the opportunity I was looking for. Deal. I was moved  to PT. PAN UNITED SHIPYARD by sub con CV.  CITRA KARYA ABADI (2007). participate as a marker in  this supply. The project name is DSV IV, I accept drawings and studied them at home. It was big enough and the biggest I had ever seen. We faced very tight standard, with high quality material (EH 36).

First Experienses at PT. BATAMEC SHIPYARD

I went into the shipyard since 2000.
where I began to migrate to Batam. In those days where the technology is not  as much as digital like now,  so many basic skill that I can show you as photograph but it can not do. In that period we had not known with facebook, twitter, etc. I never had to plan arrange my experience into a blog, cause I don't know blog.  But in this occasion I just tell about the projects that I have gotten involved with them.

The first project that I involved in it is Barge 210' x 63' x 14'. I done nothing in that time,  i had just been seen, stared at the plate, workers , machine, gantry crane, marking box, chock, square, and my Master Mr. Toni Maulana. I am very-very fool, look like stupid man. But it was a duty. I had to work to got money. The Salary was Rp. 2500/hours. I think you are imaging how big that was. I was Helper, Bachelor and quite enough for me. lonely.

Ship Repair

There are many more projects repair we've ever done. I do not remember immediately, because a long time ago. Sometimes they look like an easy job, but they don't. The point is" make similar with existing part". We will need mathematics formula to process the job, especially in corner plate, shell plate, steam, bulbous, sheer plate, and out fitting item like machine foundation, roller foundation , etc. Ship repair have 3 step in process with rule of standard (ship repair standard) , remove, renew(fit up), and welding, different from new building they have 2 process, fit up and welding. So in pricing, ship repair is usually more expensive than the new building because of differences in the process earlier. 
For a marker, ship repair is a very appropriate place to learn. Here we can try in any way, any method possible, efficient and reasonable. This is where we tested the ability of the location due to the difficulty to get to the area to be in repair.

The new building that I work with directly as a marker.

 Barge 180'x60'x12' , and Supply boat vessel 60 meter

After 2 years experiences at PT. BATAMEC SHIPYARD , then I was given responsibility to make the barge 180 feet. Next, more complicated, Supply Boat Vessel 60 meters.
I was very impressed with the second job, because from  this job I learned about the mold loft and AutoCAD. Until ones time I had a little accident on my hip veins  because most sit squat. Thanks as much as possible to the team involved, helper, fitter, welder, foremen, supervisor, my master Mr. Toni Maulana, Mr. Chiang (Apek Firing) and the entire family of PT. BATAMEC Shipyard. This is my final project in this company, before I resigned on the advice of my master towards the future.
