Soechi Lines Expands Shipping Operations through New Subsidiaries

Strategic Expansion in Shipping Sector

PT Soechi Lines Tbk (SOCI) is actively exploring new opportunities in the shipping sector through its strategic expansion plans. The company has made significant moves in recent months to strengthen its presence in the industry. In December 2025, SOCI established two new subsidiaries: Soechi Eternity Maritime Free Zone Company (FZCO) in the United Arab Emirates and Eternity Ocean Maritime Ltd. in Marshall Islands. These new entities are part of SOCI's long-term strategy to enhance its shipping capabilities.

Acquisition of New Vessels

In addition to forming new subsidiaries, SOCI also made significant acquisitions in 2025 to bolster its fleet. The company acquired a Liquefied Natural Gas (LNG) tanker and a medium-range tanker, which are expected to contribute positively to the company's operations in 2026. According to Paula Marlina, Director of SOCI, these new vessels are anticipated to reach full utilization in 2026, thereby enhancing the company's revenue streams.

Implementation Timeline

Paula Marlina noted that the newly established subsidiaries will require 1-2 years to become fully operational. This timeline allows for the necessary integration and setup processes to be completed. The strategic expansion and acquisitions reflect SOCI's commitment to growth and its confidence in the shipping sector's potential.
