Permits & Safety

A Licensed Komodo Speedboat, Paper Trail Included

Anyone can post a boat photo and a WhatsApp number. What's harder to fake is a full stack of KSOP paperwork tied to one specific hull — so here it is, unredacted.

Certificate of Nationality (Provisional)

AL.531/11/20/KSOP.LBJ/2026

Proof this specific hull sits in the official registry book at Labuan Bajo harbour, not an unregistered boat running under the radar.

Domestic Tonnage Measurement Certificate

GT.11 No.382/OOm

The measured result for this exact hull — GT 11 / NT 4 — which sets its tonnage mark and vessel class.

Sea Transport Operating Permit

DISHUB-400.7.22/155/V/2026

The permit authorising this specific boat to run the Labuan Bajo–Rinca–Padar–Komodo NP route.

Valid until 2027-05-13

Vessel Drawing Approval

AL.508/45/13/DK/2026

This hull's blueprint, approved by the Directorate General of Sea Transportation as a 2026 new-build.

Safety & Fire Control Plan

G-GA · A2

The certified safety drawing specifying exactly which liferaft, lifejackets and fire gear this hull must carry.

Onboard Safety, Beyond the Minimum

  • One liferaft rated for 40 people — more than double the boat's maximum of 17 guests plus 3 crew.
  • 27 adult lifejackets and 5 child-sized ones, enough to cover every seat with spares left over.
  • A full extinguishing set: powder and CO₂ units, a fire pump, heat detectors, and emergency axes.
  • A GMDSS-standard VHF radio, an EPIRB beacon, plus smoke and parachute flares to signal position in an emergency.
  • A licensed captain and crew, and twin Yamaha 2×200 HP engines kept on a maintenance schedule.

Paullo Rossi owns and skippers this boat himself, built in 2026. About the captain →

The paperwork above proves the licence — the fun part, the six stops this licensed hull actually runs, complete with timing and price, lives on the next two pages.
