Agency Services for AHTS Persistence by PT. Bisa Jasa Segara

At PT. Bisa Jasa Segara, also known as Batam Shipping Agency, we take pride in being a trusted partner for vessels navigating the complexities of Batam’s maritime environment. Among our portfolio of success stories, the AHTS Persistence—formerly known as Posh Persistence—stands out as a testament to our commitment to excellence and meticulous attention to detail.

The Persistence was acquired by a long-time client of ours to fulfill offshore operations in Malaysian waters under a contract with a Malaysian company. Even before the vessel’s ownership was officially transferred, our team was already hard at work preparing for crews arrival, starting with the coordination of foreign crew members in compliance with Indonesia’s immigration procedures.

Coordinating Crew Arrivals

As part of the pre-arrival preparations, we facilitated the smooth arrival of crew members at Hang Nadim Airport in Batam. When a late-night flight delay left the crew stranded after hours, we quickly arranged for hotel accommodations to ensure they could rest before their scheduled medical check-ups the following morning. Before heading to the hotel, we even located a restaurant still open at that late hour to ensure the crew could enjoy a meal.

Vessel Handover and Administration

Once the entire crew was assembled, the time came for the handover of Persistence from the previous owner’s crew to the new owner’s crew. This critical transition involved close coordination with the seller’s agent, ensuring that all ship-related certificates and documents were properly transferred. We promptly registered the change of ownership and agency with the port authority while ensuring the previous owner settled all outstanding port-related invoices through their agent.

Preparing for Offshore Operations

Following the successful handover, the new owners began preparing the Persistence for its offshore contract. This included engine tests, sea trials, bollard pull tests, and essential repairs—all of which required permits from port authorities. We also coordinated the arrival of surveyors and technicians from overseas, facilitating visa arrangements and scheduling their activities with precision to avoid delays.

Fueling the vessel was another complex task that we expertly handled. The bunkering process, which involved ship-to-ship fuel transfer from a bunker barge, required specific permits and oversight by port authorities. Thanks to our diligent efforts, every step was completed smoothly and efficiently.

Supporting the Crew and Operations

Our responsibilities extended beyond technical and administrative matters to ensuring the well-being of the crew. Whether it was arranging shore passes for crew members, transporting surveyors to the vessel, or responding to medical emergencies, our team was always on hand to provide immediate support.

During the New Year’s Eve celebrations, the vessel owner’s care for their crew’s morale was evident. They entrusted us with the task of procuring and delivering special meals and snacks to the ship, ensuring the crew could celebrate the occasion in good spirits. A happy crew is a productive crew, and we were proud to play a role in fostering that atmosphere.

Overcoming Challenges and Ensuring Departure

Despite unforeseen delays that temporarily postponed the vessel’s departure, we remained steadfast in managing the necessary adjustments. This included canceling previously secured clearances and permits and then reapplying for them once the new departure schedule was confirmed.

When the Persistence was finally ready to set sail, we efficiently handled all outward clearance processes with CIQP (Customs, Immigration, Quarantine, and Port Master) and coordinated the booking of a pilot and assist tugs. The vessel departed as planned, meeting the tight timeline set by the owners.
