Vessel Description

Sabuk Nusantara 97 is an Indonesian-flagged general cargo vessel operated by PT PELNI, the state-owned national shipping company of Indonesia. The vessel forms part of the Sabuk Nusantara series, a fleet of government-subsidized pioneer vessels (kapal perintis) designed to service remote and underserved island communities across the Indonesian archipelago. These pioneer vessels play a critical role in national connectivity, providing essential cargo and passenger transport links to outer islands that lack adequate commercial shipping services. The vessel operates under the Indonesian Ministry of Transportation's pioneering transport program, supporting national logistics and food security objectives across Indonesia's vast maritime territory.
