It was a pleasure to host a delegation from the Indonesian Ministry of Defence (MOD) at our factory, showcasing Australia's advanced manufacturing capabilities.

Doen WaterJets is supplying a DJ450B-DT waterjet (impeller dia. 1145mm) to PT Palindo Marine, which is commissioned by the MOD to design and construct the new generation 68m fast attack craft for the Navy (TNI AL).


The equipment, configured as a booster jet will be coupled to MAN Energy Solutions' 20V175D-ML diesel, rated at 4400kW.

The intake tunnel is fabricated from the hull matching steel plates and is tailored to suit the contours at the bottom of the boat, further simplifying welding/integrating it into the hull. And the entire pump assembly, including the impeller casing and the discharge nozzle, is made of stainless steel, underpinning best-in-class durability and sustained performance.

The DJ450B-DT is Doen’s exclusive Direct Thrust (DT) variant - which is no coincidence as all our waterjet products in service by the TNI-AL are the same type and the Navy is extremely satisfied with the extra level of reliability and simplicity associated with DT waterjets.

The MOD’s delegation successfully concluded the Pre Shipment Inspection (PSI) on DJ450B-DT, which was significantly facilitated/expedited by the fact that:

✅ Doen WaterJets is an #ISO9001 company and has stringent quality assurance procedures in place.

✅ DJ450B-DT is built to the requirements of the Bureau Veritas Group (BV) classification society.

We look forward to continue supporting the MOD and PT Palindo on this exciting build and future projects.
