This page used to list twenty-two organisations as partners — hotel groups, conservation NGOs, government directorates. It now lists the brands inside our own group, and the bodies whose standards our vessels are actually held to. That is a shorter page and a truer one.
Quick answer
We name the brands inside our own holding group and the standards our vessels are classified against. We do not claim partnerships with organisations that have not agreed to be named.
Why twenty-two names came off this page
The previous version listed Aman, Alila, Nihi Sumba, Four Seasons and a Ritz-Carlton Reserve as hospitality partners; WWF Indonesia, The Nature Conservancy, Conservation International, the Komodo Survival Program, Manta Trust and YKL Indonesia as conservation partners it "actively supports and consults with"; and Kemenparekraf, the Directorate General of Sea Transportation, ASITA, INSA and BKI as bodies it holds "active memberships" with. None of it was sourced. Naming a conservation NGO or a government directorate as a partner without its agreement is a misrepresentation of that organisation, not just of us — which is why the list is gone rather than softened.
The group
These are relationships we can evidence because we are them. The brokerage book on this site is drawn from the fleet the first of them operates.
Standards, not partnerships
These are not relationships we claim. They are requirements a hull either meets or does not, and each is evidenced by a document you can ask to see.
Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia, the Indonesian classification society. The group’s new builds are BKI-classified before delivery, and class status is one of the four things that set a phinisi’s price.
Per vessel · certificate
The applicable requirements of the International Convention for the Safety of Life at Sea, where the vessel type and voyage regime call for them.
Per vessel type and route
Marine survey, sea trial and document audit — conditions of sale in the standard contract rather than optional extras. The surveyor is appointed by the buyer.
Every transaction
Vessel nationality, tonnage and safety certification under the Indonesian flag, issued by the Ministry of Transportation.
Per vessel · certificate
The Indonesian entity, its registration number, and any tourism or maritime licence it holds. We would rather give you a number to check than a logo to trust.
On request
The site footer carries one membership claim inherited from the previous build and not independently verified. Ask for the certificate rather than taking the line.
On request
A standard is checkable on the vessel. A partnership is only checkable by asking the other party — which is why this page now deals in the first and not the second.
Two kinds of claim
The distinction is whether a reader can check it without taking our word for it.

Verification
Registration numbers, class certificates, survey reports, crew notes. A brokerage worth using can produce documents rather than logos, and this is the page where we invite you to test that.
