The purpose of the June 20th, 2009, visit to Doosan Vina  was for Samudera Group officials to observe the progress and finalize some outstanding issues of the 17.5 million USD Samarinda that Doosan Vina's Material handling shop (MHE) is currently building two Rail Mounted Quay Side Cranes (RMQC) and five Rubber Tired Gantry Cranes (RTGC) that are scheduled for delivery this December.

When the initial contract was negotiated between Doosan Vina and the Samudera Group they had some concerns about DV's ability to meet the delivery schedule and produce quality products because of the newness of our operation. The follow-up visit alleviated all those concerns because the visitors: Mr. Baginda, from Indonesia, Mr. Teh Poh Chai, of Singapore and Mr. Austin Tian, a Chinese inspector witnessed first-hand that everything is on schedule and controls are well in place to assure specifications are meet.

General Director BJ Cho and MHE General Manager, MK Huh reviewed the steps that are being implemented to address these two key issues with the group.

Mr. Cho explained Doosan Vina's extensive processes that will make sure the products are not only on time but also meet and exceed all customer specifications and requirements.

Mr. Huh explained the work sharing arrangement with the other Doosan Vina shops and increased overtime that has been implemented to step up production on this important project.

The cranes will be used to load and unload ocean going container ships at the Indonesian Palaran container port.
