KRI Teluk Bintuni - LST NEWCON
AT Kapal Angkut Tank / Tank Transport Ship

By March 2013 Jakarta's Navy was building two Tank Transport Ship types in Indonesian docks and shipyards. Of generally similar design, the 117-meter long variant is distinguished from the 120-meter variant by a superstructure that is visibly displaced to the aft of the hull. While both designs feature a helicopter landing pad on the fantail, the 120-meter design features hangar spaces for halicopter storage. Other differences become apparent upon close examination.

In the Indonesia maritime industry, sea transportation has an important function because Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. Fast LST is a military vessel that is used to deliver equipment and military vehicle to Indonesia territory. Because Indonesia water area is very large, vessel performance become so important. Vessel is hopeable to deliver military equipment as fast as possible.

Rapid development of the maritime world also affects the world's security and defense in this case is the Navy. Recently the military naval ship entered the design development process of new Landing Ship Tank, which developed the vessel can carry combat equipment in the area of the second deck to enlarge the carrying capacity combat equipment on the ship Landing Ship Tank. To support the performance of the vessel, the necessary link between the main deck to the second deck. In this final task, it still need to design the bridge connecting the finite element method with the help of the program. The planning focused on the strength of the bridge to be able to support vehicle loads (12ton) that passes through the bridge.
