PT GTS Internasional Tbk (GTSI), a key player in liquefied natural gas transportation, has announced plans to acquire three LNG carriers in 2025–2026, a move designed to strengthen Indonesia’s energy supply chain resilience and meet growing demand.
The vessels are intended to enhance efficiency and sustainability in the country’s LNG logistics network, a pivotal component in the transition toward cleaner energy.
Strong Rationale Behind New Fleet Investment

Modern Ships Built to Global Standards
Ashkara emphasized that the incoming LNG carriers will adhere to strict international specifications, prioritizing operational efficiency and low environmental impact.

Financial Resilience Amid Global Market Fluctuations
GTSI’s 2024 performance demonstrated financial stability and cost-efficiency, enabling it to pursue further investments despite global market volatility.
The board emphasized that strong earnings come from prudent fiscal discipline, maintaining profitability while scaling services to match national energy goals.
Corporate Governance and Regulatory Compliance
During the General Meeting of Shareholders (RUPST), attendees approved GTSI’s 2024 audited financial results, interim dividends, and delegation of audit firm selection to the board.
Shareholders also authorized a mandatory US$100,000 reserve and set protocols for compensation discussions for 2025, reinforcing corporate transparency and accountability.
