Lloyd’s Register Indonesia History Lloyd’s Register opened an office in Java in December 1872 as a result of growing trade between Indonesia, the Netherlands, Japan and China. Offices were also opened in Batavia and Sourabaya (now Surabaya) in February 1873, to help cover periodical surveys and repair works. The first survey in Surabaya was completed early in 1877 on the Danish-flagged barque Taiwan, built to class in Germany in August 1875. On March 8, 1923 Adriaan Bijlo was appointed as exclusive ship and engineer surveyor to Surabaya. Captain Swart, who opened the Batavia office in 1873, was authorised to issue certificates to ships not classed by Lloyd’s Register, and almost unique privilege which suggest he was an exceptional man. In 1942 the office were closed due to the Japanese invansion and occupation of Indonesia. Surveyor Johannes Franciscus Vrouwes reopened the exclusive office at Batavia in November 1945 at the request of the Netherland East Indies Shipping Organisation. Lloyd’s Register has expanded services to support Indonesia’s vast industrial development and growing oil industries. A notable project in the 1970s involved the construction of a floating fertiliser production complex for the state oil company Pertamia, during which surveyor in the UK and Belgium inspected pressure vessels and other plant, and the conversion of the ship ‘s hulls to house them. By 1996 over 175 offshore platforms had been certified for major oil companies operating of Indonesia including Acro, Conoco, Total, Union Oil and ILAPCO. Domestic shipbuilders have delivered some highly sophisticated ships to class. Today Lloyd’s Register has offices at Batam, Jakarta and Surabaya.
