Service history

KRI Teluk Kendari was built by an Indonesian state-owned shipbuilder PT Dok & Perkapalan Kodja Bahari (Persero), Jakarta. The ship was ordered in 2012, based on AT-117M design that would become the Teluk Bintuni-class ships. [4] Her building process was ceremonially begun with the first steel-cutting on 31 July 2012, [2] and she was assigned with yard number of AT-1. [5]

She was launched and officially named on 26 September 2014. [6] [7] She was planned to be the first ship in her class, [4] but due to internal problems faced by the shipbuilder, [8] her construction was delayed and the third ship of the class was completed first instead. She was transferred to the Navy and commissioned on 7 December 2020, with Sea Lieutenant Colonel Erpandrio Trio as her first commanding officer. [1] [9] She was assigned to Eastern Fleet Command, based at Surabaya. [10]
