Roll Group invests in Indonesia
The Bintan Offshore Marine Centre (BOMC), Indonesia, gains a new investor. The Germany-headquartered Roll Group will become an exclusive partner in the BOMC yard, taking care of the cranes and trailers to further develop the facility. BOMC is 70% owned and operated by Qube Holdings, the largest port operator and logistics provider in the APAC region.
Robin Koenis, managing director of Roll Group APAC: “The yard will also have a jetty access, which is perfect for our company with its land/sea combination. Modules will also be built here in the future.’’
When the development of BOMC is fully completed, the yard will cover no less than 1,000,000 sqm. In addition to the jetty, it will also have open storages, covered warehouses, workshops, module fabrication yards, a decommissioning yard and client-specific plants.
Adriaan Aarts, Roll Group CEO, emphasises the importance of having a yard in APAC: "BOMC is located in Bintan, on a 60-minute ferry ride from our office in Singapore.’’ The Roll Group opened offices in Singapore, Malaysia, Indonesia, Thailand and Korea last year. (mw)
