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
“Following a comprehensive assessment of fleet requirements and market trends, we are moving forward with new vessels to expand our operations,” said CEO Ari Ashkara during GTSI’s annual shareholder meeting.
This investment signals confidence in Indonesia’s LNG sector and the broader shift toward energy diversification.
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.
These standards include energy-efficient engines, reduced emissions, and enhanced safety—placing GTSI at the forefront of green maritime logistics.
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.

Regional LNG Momentum and Competitive Context
This expansion aligns with broader regional LNG trends: global LNG trade rose 2.4 percent in 2024, led by Asia-Pacific demand.
