Keyfield, Elnusa eye marine services ventures in Indonesia
KUALA LUMPUR: Keyfield International Bhd's unit Keyfield Offshore Sdn Bhd has signed a memorandum of understanding (MoU) with an Indonesian company to explore marine services collaboration in the country.
The MoU with PT Elnusa Tbk's subsidiary PT Elnusa Trans Samudera focuses on leveraging their respective capabilities and resources.
The partnership will explore and pursue various marine services opportunities, primarily within the oil and gas sector, as well as other related industries across Indonesia.
ETSA will be primarily responsible for sourcing and securing tenders.
Keyfield will support ETSA by sourcing selected marine assets, particularly cable-laying and subsea vessels, as well as experienced crew members to operate the required assets.
Upon securing a project, both parties will enter into a separate agreement to formalise the terms and conditions of the project.
ETSA is a member of the Elnusa Group, a renowned entity within Indonesia's oil and gas industry.
The company provides marine transportation support services for the oil and gas industry in Indonesia.
Keyfield group chief executive officer and executive director Datuk Darren Kee said the collaboration aims to provide reliable vessel services tailored to Indonesia's dynamic offshore sector.
"By combining Keyfield's technical expertise and fleet capabilities with ETSA's local market knowledge and presence, we are well-positioned to deliver comprehensive marine support solutions in one of Southeast Asia's most dynamic energy markets," he said in a statement.
PT Elnusa Tbk president director Bachtiar Soeria Atmadja said the MoU will strengthen synergies within the marine and offshore services sector, particularly in supporting the increasingly complex and demanding offshore operations and service development.

Indonesia aims to seal EU free trade agreement in 2026, official says

Indonesia and the EU have been in discussions on the agreement for about nine years, and are aiming to sign and ratify it by next year, Djatmiko told reporters, adding it could come into effect by late 2026 or early 2027. The EU has committed to provide market access to priority Indonesian products such as palm oil, textiles, footwear and seafood, Djatmiko said. Indonesia and the EU have previously clashed on tougher EU trade rules for products with potential links to deforestation, which could have an impact on shipments of Indonesian palm oil. In turn, Indonesia has also pledged to increase market access for agricultural and manufactured goods from the EU, Djatmiko said. EU ambassador to Indonesia Denis Chaibi said negotiations are ongoing and "substance will determine timing." The main benefits of the free trade deal for Indonesia include increased foreign direct investment from the EU in sectors like renewables, semiconductors, and mineral derivatives, a presentation slide presented by Djatmiko showed. The deal could increase exports by 5.4%, according to an internal benefit analysis, but senior economic minister Airlangga Hartarto said this was a conservative estimate and he targets a 50% increase in three years. In 2024, the EU invested US$1.1 billion in Indonesia, a drop of more than 50% from the previous year. Indonesia's exports to the EU last year were worth US$17.3 billion, while imports from the EU were worth US$12.8 billion, Indonesian government data showed.
