Frequently Asked Questions
What people ask about TSS.
Straight answers about our barge transport services, tug & barge charter, the commodities we carry, and how to start working with us.
- What does TSS do?
- PT Tiga Saka Samudra is an Indonesian bulk-maritime company. We operate tug & barge sets, trade bulk commodities, and advise on shipping — moving coal, nickel ore, and dry bulk across Indonesia.
- Do you offer barge transport services?
- Yes. As a ship operator we carry bulk cargo on tug & barge sets, and we stay accountable from load port to discharge.
- Can I charter a tug and barge from TSS?
- Yes. We arrange tug & barge sets sized to your cargo and route. Send us your commodity, volume, ports, and laycan, and we will put a charter proposal together.
- Do you handle coal shipments?
- Coal is one of our core cargoes. We move it on barges sized for typical coal parcels and coordinate loading and discharge at both ends.
- What commodities do you carry?
- Coal, nickel, limestone, silica, bauxite and other dry bulk. If your cargo is bulk and moves by sea in Indonesia, talk to us — we will tell you straight whether we are the right fit.
- What is your barge capacity?
- Capacity depends on the set and the route. We match the right tonnage to each cargo rather than forcing one size, and we share exact figures for your shipment on request.
- Which routes do you serve?
- We work the main Indonesian bulk lanes — Kalimantan coal ports, Sulawesi nickel ports, and routes into Java. Tell us your origin and destination and we will confirm coverage.
- Do you provide shipping consultancy?
- Yes. We advise on route and schedule planning, chartering, compliance, and operational audits — practical guidance from a team that operates ships, not just talks about them.
- How do I request a quote?
- Send us your commodity, volume, load and discharge ports, and preferred laycan. We will come back with a clear proposal. Contact details are on our Contact page.
- Is TSS a legally registered company?
- Yes. PT Tiga Saka Samudra holds its Kemenkumham legal-entity approval (AHU) and business identification number (NIB 2306260116544). ISO and class certifications are in progress.
