Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago, making the domestic shipping market the backbone of the national economy. At SMI Group, we focus on serving this vital Indonesian domestic shipping market. However, operating locally does not mean compromising on quality.
We believe that to truly serve the industry, we must bring world-class discipline to local waters. Here is how we achieve that.
The Perfect Blend of Expertise
Our strength lies in our unique demographic. Currently, our headquarters in Jakarta houses over 40 employees with a distinct composition:
- Global Experience: Over 20% of our team consists of senior professionals of Chinese nationality. Our management team possesses extensive experience working for large shipping enterprises, including veterans like Capt. Gu (ex-China Shipping & SITC) and Mr. William Li (ex-COSCO Shipping).
- Local Insight: The rest of our team comprises well-educated Indonesian locals, including those who have studied abroad.
This synergy allows us to achieve a “perfect blend of international standards and local perspectives”.
Systematic Management Approach
We do not rely on guesswork. Drawing from the experience of global shipping giants, we firmly believe that a systematic management approach and standardized procedures are essential.
By implementing these rigorous standards, we are able to “minimize business risks to the greatest extent,” serving as the cornerstone for the stable growth of the company. This ensures that while our vessels navigate local Indonesian waters, our operations run with the precision and safety of an international liner.
Commitment to Excellence
Whether it is through our technical fleet management or our crewing services, this fusion of global expertise and local agility defines who we are. We are committed to prioritizing professionalism and excellent services to customers by using the right human resources.
Experience the standard. Contact SMI Group to learn more about our shipping and crewing solutions.
