The growth in net profit and revenue we achieved in 2025 is the result of a combination of fleet strengthening, business expansion, operational discipline, and consistent cost efficiency that we have implemented across all business lines.
Throughout 2025, PIS transported 107.69 billion liters of crude oil, refinery products, fuel oil, and LPG. The company also contributed Rp 4.87 trillion to the state through taxes and dividends, supporting Indonesia's economic growth. PIS also supported domestic industries, including ship maintenance and enhancing the capabilities of the Indonesian shipping industry and its seafarers.
This proves that PIS can continue to grow amidst the dynamic geopolitical challenges of the industry.
The company saw significant growth in its LNG transportation business, handling 11 shipments, a five-fold increase from 2024, indicating growing customer confidence. Diversification efforts included international gas and petrochemical cargo, such as transporting Vinyl Chloride Monomer (VCM) in 28 shipments, and the inaugural transport of 30,216 metric tons of slab steel. This expansion into new segments underscores PIS's commitment to supporting Indonesia's industrial downstreaming beyond conventional energy transport.
Pita highlighted that these achievements demonstrate PIS's ability to grow amidst dynamic geopolitical challenges in the industry. The strengthening of its fleet, which managed 111 vessels in 2025, served as a foundation for these accomplishments. This fleet enhancement, driven by operational discipline and world-class safety standards, boosted capacity, competitiveness, and the company's financial performance, contributing to national economic growth.
The fleet strengthening we carried out throughout 2025 is a real manifestation of PIS's commitment to continuous growth; this capacity growth is tangible proof of PIS's contribution to national economic growth.
