Indonesian National Youth Committee (KNPI) of Riau Island Province (Kepri) had supply the welders to the Citra Tubindo, Tbk. This program had begun more than 3 months ago. Now, this Indonesian young committee are preparing to supply thousands workers for the new shipyard industry in Batam.

Today, new shipyard industry from Dubai will begin the investment in Batam Island. This new industry is need 5.000 workers. The other company, Seipem, today begin the investment in Karimun Island. Also, this company is need 9.000 workers. Than, thousands workers need in Batam Island and Karimun Island now. Because the booming demand of shipyard and it services now is very fantastic.

The booming effect is too difficult now to find the feasible land in Batam Island for build the shipyard industry. My friend in Batam Industrial Development Authority (BIDA) said to me, too many foreign investors come down to Batam Island just for asking the land. But, BIDA can’t approve anymore. Because the feasible land for shipyard industry in Batam Island had allocated for the investors. So, the BIDA today is focusing their foreign investment to the special industry. That is the industry less water and wide land.

Back to KNPI of Kepri, his chief Berto Izaak Doko said to me, that he committed to continue his program and he thank to the company who had support. God bless for KNPI of Kepri.
