The company received the $11.7m, 3,500 dwt Tansko Arafura from Drydocks World Pertama, the Batam-based yard unit of the Dubai-based shipbuilding company Drydocks World.
The company believes an enlarged fleet would increase its capacity and efficiency in oil and gas distribution.
""Transko Arafuru will support Pertamina in transporting oil production, in which hopefully it can contribute IDR31bn ($2.3m) per year to revenue," said PTK chief executive Soebagjo Hari Moeljanto.
Transko Arafura is the first tanker built and owned by Pertamina Trans Continental which will operate in the Northern Sumatra and Kalimantan waters and surrounding areas.
PTK also plans to add a 1,100 kiloliter oil barge named Ranau Perkasa to be built by Patria Maritime Perkasa in Riau.
