According to him, this tanker is the third vessel owned by the Navy built in Indonesia and has been using the Bureau Veritas (BV) classification agency. The new tanker comes with a length of 123.50 meters and a width of 16.50 meters with a capacity of 5500 cubic meters of oil. In the future, this ship works the same as KRI Tarakan, namely as Auxiliary Support Vessel, which refuel Indonesian Navy warships while operating in the sea.

"The plan of this ship will be operated in the task force of the western fleet region (Armabar, red), given the current, we lack the tools for this region," said Mulyadi.

The tanker will also be equipped with a Replenishment at Sea (RAS) system that allows ships to transfer fuel to other vessels while in operational and remote shipping conditions. This ability is very useful in military strategy, where time and speed are crucial in critical situations.

"That means, the ship does not have to stop or return to the base to just do the refueling. For example, we do not need to return to the base at Natuna when operating in the outer waters. This ship we need while operating in maintaining the boundaries of the Indonesian sea in the border region, "he explained.

Meanwhile, the ship's keel laying circuit itself uses the ceremonial coin method. This method is a tradition commonly used in the early stages of ship building. The way to put a coin on the bottom of the hull of a ship that is believed to be a symbol of good luck. The laying itself was handed over by Mulyono Adi to be placed symbolically by Laksda Mulyadi as the recipient partner of the Navy.

This process of keel laying is done now after six months of running project because PT Batamec, according to Marpol / Solas regulation, follows ship building rule to reach one percent of total weight of LWT. "It is now completed eight blocks weighing 360 tons. That means the development of the ship has reached 1 percent, and already can keel laying, "said Mulyono Adi.

The construction of the BCM vessel is supervised by a task force of the Navy directly led by the marine colonel (T) Hindarto as Dansatgas.

Although the venue of the event had floods due to heavy rain, but the event remains a success. The plan, shipbuilding will be completed by the end of 2018.

Public awareness of the importance of a protection against various risks that can occur and happen to them at any time is one cause of the high number of insurance users lately. This of course becomes a distinct advantage for insurance companies that provide insurance services, where the broader the market can be processed and used as a target sales of their products.

Development of Insurance Companies in Indonesia

In accordance with the development of the times, insurance is also experiencing rapid development and better every day. In addition to improving services to its customers, insurance companies also conduct a variety of businesses to be able to continue to expand and promote the business they run so far. One of the steps taken is to issue new and more innovative products for its customers.

Currently, insurance products are not only limited to types of life insurance and health insurance, because basically these two products are the most widely used by the public. In its development, the insurance company also issued a variety of products that can be selected and used in accordance with the needs of the customers concerned. This is so that more customers are using insurance services and more sales can be created.

With the number of products issued by insurance companies, there will be many options and also considerations that can be taken by customers who will use the insurance. It also creates a good aroma of competition among insurance service providers, where they will certainly compete to provide the best service in their products.


 

Development of Insurance in Indonesia

Based on data released by the Indonesian Financial Services Authority (OJK), it is known that the development of insurance industry in Indonesia has a significant role in supporting the national development process. This is seen from the contribution of insurance companies in cultivating long-term funds in large amounts, which are then used as funds in development undertaken by the government.

In the services provided by insurance companies, communities also receive support in the form of protection against risks and also losses that could befall them at times, especially when they are running their business. This shows how the development of insurance also has a significant role in economic growth and development that occurred lately.

A better understanding of the importance of insurance coverage is also a matter of affecting progress in the insurance business itself. When people's trust in a product has been created, it will be easier to develop and sell the product. This is what happens in the insurance business, where more and more people want a guarantee / protection against the various risks they will face in the future.

The development of the insurance industry can be seen during the last four years, precisely in 2011 to 2014, where the assets of the conventional insurance industry experienced an average growth of more than 16%. This is also evident from the average growth occurring in the value of investments and premiums which increased respectively by 14.4% and also 21.0%, as disclosed by IKNB Chief Executive Superintendent Firdaus Djaelani in the Insurance Outlook 2016 seminar at Jakarta.

The data shows the positive growth that occurred in the insurance business. While in 2015, assets and investments conventional insurance industry until the end of September showed the figure to reach Rp765, 6 trillion and Rp608, 6 trillion. If we compare it with the position that occurred until the end of 2014, the assets of the insurance industry has a growth of 1.36%, while investment decreased by 0.24%, this is due to the turmoil that occurred in some investment instruments at some time ago .

On the other hand, the growth that occurred in insurance premiums until September 2015 also experienced a quite satisfactory increase of 17.1%. When compared to growth in August 2015, this number increased by 11.9% from the same position in the previous year. The increase in premiums is contributed the most by life insurance companies, followed by social insurance premiums and general insurance premiums.

 

List of Insurance Companies in Indonesia

Like other industries, the insurance industry in Indonesia also has a number of rules as well as legislation issued by the government. This is done to protect all rights and also the obligations of the wider community who will act as consumers in an insurance service. The government has a variety of regulations that regulate everything that concerns the insurance industry.

The number of companies engaged in the insurance business shows the high opportunities that exist in the business. But it also has a good enough effect for the wider community, where they end up with a lot of options and can get the most suitable insurance services for their individual needs. Broadly speaking, insurance in Indonesia can be divided into 2 types, namely:

 

1. Conventional Insurance

Conventional insurance is run by applying various modern business policies in it, it is related to the calculation and also various lines of business run by the company. In general, this type of insurance is the most widely used by the public, because basically conventional insurance is the type of insurance that was first introduced to the public.

That way, it can be ascertained if the number of insurance companies that run businesses in conventional types of insurance will be much more when compared with the number of insurance companies that have sharia principles.

All rules and policies in the Takaful shall be stipulated in accordance with the decision taken by the Sharia Council of Indonesia, in which it is done to guarantee the halal as well as the feasibility of various matters carried out within the insurance company in accordance with the teachings of Islam. Takaful is run on the principle of profit sharing, which will be applied in accordance with the syariah.

Within Takaful, risk is not transferred to the insurer, but will be shared equally among the insurance customers.

Zone of Danger of Mount Agung of ITB Researcher

Seeing the high activity of Gunung Agung in Bali recently, the lecturer of the Bandung Institute of Technology immediately held a remote sensing study to predict the potential danger zone that can be generated. How to study the sensing in question?

Not more than a week since the start of research on Friday, September 22, 2017, the results of research lecturers ITB has been successfully released and can be a solution for people around Mount Agung.

Mount Agung Bali

 

Those involved are Prof. Ketut Wikantika, Dr. Eng. Asep Saepuloh, and Tri Muji Susantoro, Drs., MT. Everything from Center for Remote Sensing (CRS-ITB)

Based on research, 51 years ago Mount Agung had erupted with a very powerful force. History records, not less than 1,700 people died as a result of the incident.

It is this past experience that makes the fear of Mount Agung very high. Moreover, its activity has increased rapidly since the last few weeks.

Based on this fact, Prof. Ketut along with his doctoral student, Tri Muji Susantoro, and assisted by Dr. Asep Saepuloh, conducted a study on the potential dangers that can be caused by Mount Agung.

They use remote sensing techniques that become their daily focus field. There are four potentials that they analyze, namely the direction of the lava flow, volcanic bombs, hot clouds, and cold lava that fell due to heavy rain after the eruption occurred.

The potential of Mount Agung's hot lava flow analysis is based on two things, namely the Watershed (DAS) that develops from the top and analyzes the sheer thickness of the crater condition.

Meanwhile, the potential of volcanic bombs was analyzed by establishing a hazard zone based on a reference distance from the peak of the eruption in 1963. The analysis of the potential of hot clouds and cold lava was also carried out by utilizing the watershed and the thickness of the crater condition, but with a wider area of ​​analysis.

The data they use for the research itself comes from the Shuttle Radar Topographic Mission (SRTM) and Landsat 8. Specifically on Landsat 8 data, the processing is done by radiometric correction which includes radiometric calibration and atmospheric correction. The radiometric calibration itself is done by changing the digital value in Top of Atmosphere, while the atmospheric correction is done by the FLAASH method.

The result, Ketut and Tri Muji successfully predicted that the direction of the hot lava flow of Mount Agung will still tend to move northwards.


"The direction of hot lava flow will tend to the north because it turns out the crater wall in the north is thinner and lower than the crater wall in the east, south, or west," Ketut said in a press release received Liputan6.com.

"If the flow of hot lava to the west, the chances are still small because there is a ridge," added the chairman of CRS-ITB this.

This remote sensing study also shows the potential for movement of hot lava flows to a distance of 7.5 km north of Mount Agung. Therefore, Ketut suggested that all residents who remain in the zone remain vigilant and always pay attention to directives from the local BPNB.

KAPA Multiguna: Substituted Alternative KAPA K-61 Indonesian Marine Corps military technology

Given that the KAPA (Marine Amphibious Fleet Carrier) operated by the Marine Corps is elderly, ie K-61 and PTS-10, the KAPA Battalion of the Marine Cavalry Regiment requires the modernization of KAPA types, it is clear that KAPA's role is vital, as well as necessary to support amphibious landing operations, KAPA proved to have a big hand in emergency response operations of natural disaster, to support SAR mission.

 

KAPA (Marine Amphibious Fleet Carrier)

Although there has been no new KAPA procurement contract for Marines, at least there are now two types offered for the Purple Beret Corps. The first is KAPA RD MK1, KAPA type is officially still a mockup that has been displayed in the Indo Defense figure 2016. As the party that offers a solution is a national private company, PT Republic Defensino who released the mockup design Amphibious Tracked Carrier KAPA RD MK1. Although still in the mockup, the manufacturer has released that the ransus (special vehicle) will have a total weight of 25 tons. RD MK1 is planned to be powered by Iveco L6 diesel engine with six cylinders. The engine power of RD MK1 is mentioned reaching 590HP.

Details about KAPA RD MK1 we have peeled in the previous article, whose title link you can click on the top of this paragraph. While the second type offered for the Marine Corps is KAPA Mutliguna from Balitbang Kemhan in cooperation with the national private company PT Wirajayadi Bahari. In contrast to RD MK1, KAPA Multiguna is already in the form of prototype and further has been successfully tested in Waters of Tuban, East Java.

According Bintoro, chairman of PT Wirajayadi Bahari met Indomiliter.com, KAPA Mutliguna is painted in chocolate loreng is indeed built as a modernization of K-61. "But note, our KAPA does not use the chassis of the K-61, everything is new, from wheel chains to machines," said Bintoro.

When considered carefully, there are some similarities between this KAPA made in Surabaya with K-61, such as the position of two propeller blades and the positioning of the engine position in the middle. But KAPA Multiguna is designed more contemporary, as evidenced by increased protection on the driver's compartment and navigator. Also on the front is equipped with a breaker whose height can be adjusted. As for wheel chains, pinching Chinese / Russian tank models, or similar to those used by BTR-50 and PT-76, means larger than K-61 chain wheels.

At that time he offered to cooperate with the National Agency for Combating Terrorism (BNPT) in combating acts of terrorism. Wiranto said Indonesia does not limit itself to cooperating with any country that has experience of acts of terrorism.

That is done so that BNPT performance can be helped. According to him, the Spanish experience to approach hard or smooth in dealing with acts of terrorism is considered to be imitated BNPT. "So, how BNPT can take a hard and smooth approach in the face of terrorism, Spain experienced with it," said Wiranto.

"We have just established the National Board of Ciber as an umbrella of all ciber agencies in Indonesia. We also need in each country, including Spain offering it (cooperation), "said Wiranto.

However, Wiranto said, the discussion of the cooperation of the Spanish Government with ciber and Sandi Negara (BSSN) is still in its early stages. Therefore, there needs to be further discussion to arrive at the cooperation phase.

"It's not until the concept, after we agree technically, the staff will follow up with one more conversation or technical cooperation points," he said.
