Our Board

In 2020, despite the pandemic exacerbating the world's economic state, ABL managed to venture into owning our first mother vessel - Bulk Batavia and enhancing our infrastructure services by operating Port in Kalimantan. In transshipment and sea logistics services, we are diversifying not only in terms of cargo, but also in the area of operation. We are now operating in Africa for bauxite and in Sulawesi for nickel.
