Cargo Unloading and Ship-to-Ship Transfer at Batu Ampar Port, Batam

At PT. Bisa Jasa Segara, we specialize in offering comprehensive ship agency services, ensuring that all aspects of port operations are handled with precision and efficiency. Our recent project at Batu Ampar Port, Batam, for Temas Bulker exemplifies our commitment to excellence in managing complex cargo handling operations. 

In this project, PT. Bisa Jasa Segara took on the responsibility of overseeing a significant cargo unloading operation. As the appointed ship agent, we worked closely with the vessel owner, cargo owners, charterers, and stevedoring teams to ensure the safe and timely transfer of goods. Batu Ampar Port is one of the busiest in the region, and the limited availability of berthing time adds pressure to every operation. Understanding the critical nature of time, our team ensured that every aspect of the operation adhered to a strict schedule, reducing downtime and keeping the project on track.

The complexity of this operation was compounded by the size and nature of some of the cargo, which required a ship-to-ship (STS) transfer to a barge. This involved coordinating not only the transfer itself but also the scheduling of barges, tugboats, assist tugs, and obtaining the necessary permits. Each step was carefully planned, with our team managing every detail to ensure the operation was conducted safely and efficiently. From the arrival of the tugboats to the positioning of the barge and the transfer of cargo, every movement was orchestrated with precision to avoid any delays or issues.

Throughout the entire process, communication and coordination were key. With multiple stakeholders involved, including the shipowner, cargo owners, port authority, customs officials, and stevedoring teams, our role as the ship agent was to serve as the central point of contact, ensuring that all parties were aligned. We facilitated seamless communication and problem-solving, ensuring that every requirement was met on time.

  One of the primary challenges in cargo handling at busy ports like Batu Ampar is the pressure of time. Ships operate on tight schedules, and delays can have a cascading effect, impacting not only the current vessel but also those waiting for berth access. The need to secure permissions, manage waiting times, and coordinate with port authorities requires careful planning. PT. Bisa Jasa Segara excels in time management, and this project was no exception. We worked diligently to ensure that permits were approved, cargo was unloaded swiftly, and the STS transfer was completed within the allocated time frame. The efficient execution of the project allowed the vessel to meet its next schedule without any delay, a testament to our strong organizational skills and attention to detail.
