Humpuss Intermoda Hormati Gugatan Parbulk II AS,
Jalankan Prosedur Hukum Dengan Sebaik-baiknya


JAKARTA – PT Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi Tbk. (IDX : HITS) menyatakan sangat
menghormati adanya gugatan dari Parbulk II AS melalui Pengadilan Negeri Jakarta Selatan,
dan akan menjalankan proses dan prosedur hukum dengan sebaik-baiknya.
Tonny Aulia Achmad, Direktur Utama HITS menyampaikan, perihal gugatan hukum dari
Parbulk II AS ini sudah disampaikan kepada publik melalui laporan konsolidasi periode tahun
2022 pada April 2023, khususnya dalam catatan no.49.
“Kami sangat menghargai adanya perbedaan, menghormati prosesnya dan akan jalankan
prosedur hukumnya sesuai dengan ketentuan yang berlaku di Indonesia. Kita serahkan
prosesnya kepada pihak berwenang,” kata dia kepada media Selasa, 15 Agustus 2023.
Tonny memaparkan, perkara gugatan tersebut tidak mempengaruhi operasional perusahaan.
Perseroan, lanjut dia, tetap fokus menjalankan usaha sesuai dengan target kerja yang sudah
disampaikan kepada pemegang saham Perseroan.
Dalam laporan keuangan konsolidasi HITS diketahui gugatan dari Parbulk II AS, perusahaan
asal Norwegia itu mulai kembali muncul pada 3 Januari 2023. Menurut Parbulk, HITS, melalui
entitas anak usaha Humpus Sea Transportation Pte., Ltd., yaitu Heritage Maritime Ltd., SA,
mengalami wanprestasi atas surat pernyataan penanggungan (Letter of Undertaking) tanggal
11 Desember 2007.
Karena dampak krisis finansial global pada tahun 2008, dimana krisis menyebabkan tarif jasa
pengangkutan kapal saat itu anjlok hingga 70% dan Parbulk II AS tidak mengubah nilai tagihan
yang dikenakan pada Heritage. Heritage merasa keberatan untuk melakukan pembayaran
karena Heritage telah mengembalikan kapal tersebut kepada Parbulk II AS untuk memenuhi
kontrak, mengingat transaksi tersebut dilakukan dengan skema sewa-beli.
Letter of Undertaking tersebut awalnya dibuat dalam rangka kerjasama penyewaan sewa kapal
kosong atau Bareboat Charter (BBC) antara Heritage dan Parbulk II AS.
Ketika itu Parbulk setuju untuk menyewakan kapal MV Mahakam kepada Heritage dengan
tarif sewa US$38,500 per hari dengan jangka waktu 60 bulan sejak tanggal penerimaan kapal
pada 14 Desember 2007 dengan jaminan Letter of Undertaking.
Namun, karena penerbitan Letter of Undertaking yang dilakukan oleh manajemen terdahulu
termasuk perbuatan melawan hukum, HITS akhirnya melayangkan gugatan perdata di PN
Jakarta Selatan pada 5 Oktober 2009. Ketika itu, gugatan dikabulkan sebagian oleh PN Jakarta
Selatan pada 11 Mei 2011 dan menyatakan Letter of Undertaking yang diterbitkan HITS adalah
perbuatan melawan hukum dan tidak mengikat perseroan.
Pada perselisihan hukum ini, putusan Kasasi Mahkamah Agung pada 14 Desember 2016
membatalkan Putusan PN Jakarta Selatan yang menyatakan Letter of Undertaking yang
diterbitkan HITS adalah perbuatan melawan hukum dan tidak mengikat perseroan

"Kami yakin proses hukum ini pada akhirnya akan berpihak kepada kami sehingga proses
bisnis akan berjalan sebagaimana mestinya sesuai harapan Perseroan untuk setinggi tingginya
melindungi kepentingan pemegang saham dan pemangku kepentingan lainnya," ujar Tonny.

PRESS RELEASE
August 15, 2023

Humpuss Intermoda Respects the Parbulk II AS Lawsuit And Follows
Legal Procedures To The Best of Its Ability.

JAKARTA - PT Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi Tbk (IDX : HITS) stated that it respects the
lawsuit from Parbulk II AS through the South Jakarta District Court and will carry out the legal
process and procedures as well as possible.

Tonny Aulia Achmad, President Director of HITS, said that the lawsuit from Parbulk II AS
had been conveyed to the public through the consolidated report for the 2022 period in April
2023, specifically in note no. 49.

"We really appreciate the differences, respect the process, and will carry out legal procedures
in accordance with applicable regulations in Indonesia. We leave the process to the authorities,"
he told the media on Tuesday, August 15, 2023.

Tonny explained that the lawsuit did not affect the Company's operations. The Company, he
continued, remains focused on running the business in accordance with the work targets that
have been submitted to the Company's shareholders.

In HITS' consolidated financial statements, it is known that the lawsuit from Parbulk II AS, a
Norwegian company, reappeared on January 3, 2023. According to Parbulk, HITS, through its
subsidiary Humpuss Sea Transportation Pte., Ltd., namely Heritage Maritime Ltd., SA,
defaulted on its Letter of Undertaking dated December 11, 2007.

Due to the impact of the global financial crisis in 2008, which caused freight rates at the time
to plummet by 70%, Parbulk II AS did not change the invoice value charged to Heritage.
Heritage objected to the payment because it had returned the vessel to Parbulk II AS to fulfill
the contract, given that the transaction was done under a hire-purchase scheme.

The Letter of Undertaking was originally made in the framework of a Bareboat Charter (BBC)
cooperation between Heritage and Parbulk II AS.

At that time, Parbulk agreed to charter the MV Mahakam to Heritage at a charter rate of
US$38,500 per day for a period of 60 months from the date of receipt of the vessel on December
14, 2007, with the Letter of Undertaking as collateral.

However, because the issuance of the Letter of Undertaking carried out by the previous
management constituted an unlawful act, HITS filed a civil lawsuit at the South Jakarta District
Court on October 5, 2009. At that time, the lawsuit was partially granted by the South Jakarta
District Court on May 11, 2011, and stated that the Letter of Undertaking issued by HITS was
unlawful and did not bind the Company.

In this legal dispute, the Supreme Court Cassation Decision on December 14, 2016 overturned
the South Jakarta District Court Decision, which stated that the Letter of Undertaking issued
by HITS was against the law and did not bind the Company.

"We believe that this legal process will ultimately be in our favor so that the business process
will run as it should according to the Company's expectation to protect the interests of
shareholders and other stakeholders as high as possible," said Tonny.
