River Mas arrived in Batam under one flag and left under another.
The vessel came from Alexandria, Egypt, flying the Antigua and Barbuda flag before entering PaxOcean Pertama Shipyard for dry docking and repairs.
During her extended stay in Batam, BSA supported the local arrangements for technical specialists, inspections, crew documentation, medical assistance, provisions, spare parts, samples, and departure formalities.
The docking schedule changed several times, so many of the arrangements also had to be adjusted along the way.
During the same period, River Mas was reflagged to Panama. BSA coordinated the necessary updates to the vessel’s particulars and documents with the relevant Indonesian authorities.
After completing the shipyard programme and outward-clearance formalities, River Mas departed Batam for Singapore on 30 June 2026.
This was the vessel’s second assignment with BSA. We had previously supported River Mas during a cargo unloading and ship-to-ship operation at Batu Ampar Port in October 2024.
