All of our vessels are proudly Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI) certified, which means our vessels comply with international safety standards, as well as national maritime regulations. A vessel that is classified by BKI has undergone rigorous inspections and assessments to ensure that it meets specific safety, design, and construction standards.

What Does It Mean For Guests?
BKI certification represents the pinnacle of safety and quality standards for vessels operating in Indonesian waters, ensuring unparalleled reliability and compliance with both national and international regulations. This certification is crucial for the safety and reliability of maritime operations, as it guarantees that vessels are rigorously inspected, well-maintained, and equipped to handle the demands of the sea, thereby protecting both passengers and crew while minimising risks and operational disruptions. The following list comprises of some the key benefits that passengers can expect when travelling on our BKI-certified vessels:

1. Safety Assurance: BKI reviews the design and construction plans of the vessel to ensure they meet international safety and superior standards. Aside from safety construction, BKI also verifies that the vessel is equipped with the necessary safety equipment such as lifeboats, life jackets, and emergency signals. This is essential as it directly relates to the safety of passengers in case of an emergency. Additionally, BKI confirms that the vessel’s radio communication equipment is operational and meets the required standards for safety at sea to ensure that effective communication is in place during emergencies.
2. Reliable Operations: BKI conducts regular inspections throughout the vessel’s operational life to ensure that it continues to meet the classification requirements and help ensure that the vessel operates efficiently, thus reducing the likelihood of breakdowns or delays.
3. Certified Safety Management Systems: All vessels at Ekajaya Fast Ferry has Document of Compliance (DOC) and Safety Management Certificate (SMC) to confirm that our company and vessel comply with the International Safety Management (ISM) Code, which provides an international standard for the safe management and operation of ships.
4. Environmental Responsibility: BKI also includes environmental considerations in their classifications, ensuring that vessels meet MARPOL’s environmental standards. This covers pollution prevention of oil, wastage, air, and more.
5. Compliance with Global Standards: Passengers benefit from a vessel that meets not only Indonesian regulations but also international maritime laws, ensuring a safe and lawful journey.
