KRI Teluk Bintuni (520) is a tank landing ship (LST) of the Indonesian Navy. Commissioned in 2015, she is the third ship of her class and was the first to be commissioned. [2] She is also the namesake of her class.
Teluk Bintuni has a length of 120 metres (393 ft 8 in), a beam measuring 18 metres (59 ft 1 in), and a height of 7.8 metres (25 ft 7 in) with a draft of 3 metres (9 ft 10 in). She has a capacity of 476 passengers, including crew, alongside 10 Leopard main battle tanks and a helicopter. The ship was designed to be able to stay at sea for 20 days. [3] With a crew of 119, consisting of 113 sailors and 6 helicopter crew, she has a displacement of 2,300 tonnes and has a maximum speed of 16 knots (30 km/h; 18 mph).

[4] The vessel could also carry four LCVP boats, and is equipped with a crane for cargo loading and offloading. [5]
Teluk Bintuni was built by Indonesian shipbuilder PT Daya Radar Utama (DRU), using steel sourced from Krakatau Steel for its hull. [3] The ship was ordered from DRU as part of a three-ship order for LSTs (where DRU was awarded just one), and DRU was the first builder to deliver the ship. At the time of its launch, it was the largest LST operated by the Indonesian Navy, with other vessels displacing 1,500 or 1,800 tonnes. [4] The ship was built at a cost of Rp 160 billion (US$13 million in 2014). [6] The ship was laid down on 18 June 2013, with yard number AT-3. [7] [2] She was launched on 27 September 2014 at DRU's shipyard in Bandar Lampung, with Indonesian Navy Lieutenant Colonel Ahmad Muharam being appointed as her first commander. [8] She was later commissioned on 17 June 2015. [9]
In January 2018, during a naval landing exercise at the Berhala Strait, Teluk Bintuni received a signal from a tugboat which was being hijacked by pirates. The vessel launched an LCVP and apprehended the hijackers. [10] She later brought supplies to areas affected by the 2018 Sulawesi earthquake and tsunami. [11]
