## History

[edit]

PT PAL Indonesia (Persero) was established in 1939 as Marine Establishment (ME) by the Dutch East Indies government. During the Japanese occupation, ME was renamed as Kaigun SE 2124.[4] After Indonesia gained independence, the company was nationalized with the company name changed to Penataran Angkatan Laut (PAL).[5]

On April 15, 1980, the company's status was changed from a statutory corporation to a joint-stock company.[3] Its articles of association also states that PAL is no longer bears "Penataran Angkatan Laut", thus the name PAL is standalone. The change of status officially marked as the founding date of PT PAL Indonesia (Persero).[6]

The Philippine Navy ordered its first landing platform/dock-type ship with the BRP Tarlac (LD-601) being made by PT PAL on June 5, 2015,[7] with the ship commissioned into service on June 1, 2016.[8] The contract was around $USD92 million.[9]

On September 29, 2016, PT PAL launched the second Strategic Sealift Vessel (SSV) known as BRP Davao del Sur (LD-602) for the Philippine Navy.[10][11]

A MoU agreement was signed between PT PAL and Boustead Naval Shipyard to have the Malaysian Navy's first LPD ship constructed in Surabaya on November 6, 2016.[12]

On February 23, 2017, PT PAL has signed an agreement with two UAE shipbuilding companies Abu Dhabi Ship Building (ADSB) and the International Global Group (IGG) in order to boost its presence in the Middle East with the agreement during the 2017 IDEX convention.[13]

On April 15, 2017, an agreement was signed between DCNS and PT PAL to collaborate on building new submarines, corvettes and frigates.[14]

On July 14, 2017, PT PAL has reported that other countries in Africa and Asia have sought orders to create ships for their navies, among them Malaysia, Nigeria, Senegal, Guinea-Bissau and Gabon.[15] Among other orders made by the African countries included Nigeria's order for one SSV; Senegal for one LPD ship along with two Clurit class fast attack craft, KCR-35 meter ships and three KCR-60 meter ships and Guinea-Bissau and Gabon for one KCR-60 meter ship each as of July 18, 2017.[9]

On July 1, 2020, PT PAL was in talks with the United Arab Emirates for a landing platform dock-type ship.[16] On July 4, 2022, PT PAL signed an agreement with the United Arab Emirates to construct a landing platform dock-type ship for the UAE Navy.[17]

On May 31, 2024, PT PAL announced that they signed a contract with a South Asian country during an interview in Surabaya with Comomodore (retired) Wiranto that the company will have its first contract for submarine maintenance, repair, and overhaul (MRO).[18]
