Lombok, March 27, 2023 - PT Pertamina International Shipping (PIS) has successfully carried out salvage or rescue activities to the MT Kristin Ship, which is now docking at the PT Pantai Damai Sejahtera (PDS) pier, West Lombok.

"Thanks to the collaboration between PIS, Pelindo, and Pertamina Trans Kontinental, the MT Kristin ship was able to dock this afternoon at the PDS dock for further processing by the authorities," said Director of Operations of PIS, Brilian Perdana, who was at the location to inspect the incident handling process on the MT Kristin ship.

Brilian explained that PIS is ready to cooperate with the authorities for the investigative process and other processes needed to thoroughly investigate the fire incident's cause on the MT Kristin ship.

The MT Kristin ship is owned by PT Hanlyn Jaya Mandiri, chartered by PIS to transport Pertalite fuel to the Ampenan Integrated Terminal and the Sanggar Fuel Terminal.
