The participants visited two major shipbuilding companies located in the harbor area of North Jakarta, where they were explained about the current situation of procurement as well as technical standard required for components, followed by question-and-answer regarding the possibility of the participants for starting transaction with the companies. The participants also visited BKI (Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia), only organization enacting and operating rules relating to safety of ships constructed in Indonesia, for learning the procedures on ship component inspection/ certification. BKI is providing technical guidance related to component quality improvement too in addition to inspection/ certification, then BKI showed willingness to provide technical guidance to the participants as needed.
