About

Built On Operational Discipline

PT. Ananda Bintang Arung Samudera (ABAS) is an Indonesian marine transshipment operator running its own floating cranes, tugs and barges at anchorages across Kalimantan and Sulawesi. We exist for one job: moving bulk commodities from barge to mother vessel on schedule, safely, and with tonnage that survives the draft survey.
