What is a Used Landing Craft Tank (LCT)?

A used landing craft tank, or short for LCT, is a flat-deck cargo vessel that comes fitted with a bow ramp and is designed to move heavy equipment, vehicles, construction materials, and project cargo between ports, jetties, and shore points with very limited infrastructure.

In practice, simply put, a used LCT is valued because it can load and unload directly over the ramp, which makes it useful in places where port handling is limited or where cargo needs to be moved quickly and simply.

Mining projects use LCTs to move equipment and bulk materials between islands. Coastal and inter-island operators use them for logistics runs where conventional port access is patchy. Offshore support operations also use them to move machinery, fuel, water, and worksite supplies into places that need a tough, shallow-draft working vessel rather than something delicate. That is why LCTs keep holding their value.

Real-world examples on Ratson’s used vessel pages reflect that working profile. Public listings show Indonesian-flagged used LCTs from roughly 35 to 72 metres, with machinery from around 320 HP up to 829 HP per side, and specifications that suit cargo movement, project logistics, and regional marine transport.

Available Used Landing Craft Tank for Sale

At the moment, our used landing craft tanks are sold out and this page functions as a reference point for sample available vessels, recently delivered vessels, and sourced vessels. We have sold 40 used landing craft tanks, while individual vessel pages and archives illustrate the kind of tonnage and configuration we have handled. That is worth knowing up front.

Vessel 1 – Landing Craft Tank 52M15

Take the Landing Craft Tank 52M15 as an example. Built in 2015, it flies the Indonesian flag while awaiting full BKI classification. Measuring 52.22 metres long, its beam reaches 12.00 metres at the moulded section. Depth stands at 3.34 metres along that same point. Sitting low in the water, it draws 2.65 metres when loaded. Its capacity hits 1,050 deadweight tons under standard conditions. Power comes from two Mitsubishi S6A3-MPTK engines, each delivering 600 horsepower. These run best at 1,900 revolutions per minute during normal operation.

This vessel has 40,000 litres fuel oil capacity, 64,000 litres fresh water capacity, 14-crew accommodation, and “Ready for inspection” status. For buyers looking at a used landing craft tank for sale, that is the kind of mid-size utility profile that tends to suit island cargo runs and project support.

Vessel 2 – Landing Craft Tank 52M20-2

Another very practical example is the Landing Craft Tank 52M20-2. This vessel is listed as one built in 2020, with a Indonesian flag, BKI class, single bottom and single hull, with 52.50 metres length, 11.00 metres breadth, and 3.75 metres loaded draft.

The main machinery is a 2 x 650 HP Mitsubishi S6A3 MTK2 with Advance gearboxes. Publicly listed cargo-related capacities include about 30 tons cargo fuel capacity and about 35 tons cargo water capacity.

Plate thickness data is also published, with 12 mm keel and 10 mm bottom, hull, deck, and bulkhead plating, which gives buyers a more technical feel for the vessel’s working build. Status is marked ready for inspection.

Vessel 3 – Landing Craft Tank 39M18

A smaller sample is Landing Craft Tank 39M18. This boat appears in Ratson's records with a 2018 construction date, flying the Indonesian flag, certified by BKI, measuring 39.00 metres in length overall, having a registered width of 7.00 metres, alongside a registered depth of 2.50 metres. Power comes through two rebuilt Caterpillar 3408 DITA units, each delivering 480 horsepower, linked to Advance transmissions.

Among details on the open spec sheet: tools for safe operation and route planning, sleeping space assigned for eleven crew members, permission to carry up to fourteen passengers, registration based out of Samarinda. Status is marked ready for inspection. For operators seeking a smaller Used LCT for sale Indonesia option, this kind of vessel can make sense for lighter logistics patterns and shorter regional assignments.

Taken together, these sample vessels show the range of a Used landing craft tank for sale market in Indonesia. You can find smaller workhorses, broader-beam mid-size units, and larger deck carriers depending on your cargo profile, draft limits, and project timeline. And because Ratson also handles buying, selling, repair, and docking, the company sits in a useful middle position between shipyard capability and second-hand vessel sourcing.

Technical Specifications of Used LCT

When you assess a Used landing craft tank, four things usually matter fast.

1. Deadweight Tonnage (DWT)
2. Engine package
3. Deck strength
4. Ramp system.

DWT tells you how much carrying ability the vessel has in practical operating terms. Public examples on this page show a wide spread, from smaller vessels where DWT is not always published on the summary page up to examples like the 52M15 at 1,050 DWT. LOA, or length overall, in these listings runs from the high 30-metre range into the 70-metre class.

Engine packages also vary. Public listings show Mitsubishi, Yanmar, Caterpillar, Cummins, Volvo Penta, and others across the used LCT range, with power outputs from 320 HP up to 829 HP per engine in the examples reviewed.

Ramp systems may be electric winch operated, while deck and hull plating data, when published, helps indicate how the vessel was built for working loads. BHP, or brake horsepower, is still one of the quickest ways buyers compare usable power across options.

Availability & Location Advantage of Used LCT Indonesia

Indonesia is an archipelago, so marine logistics is not a side issue here. It is daily infrastructure. Cargo has to move between islands, industrial zones, project sites, and coastal areas where port capability may be uneven. That creates consistent demand for LCTs, because they are practical vessels for loading equipment, trucks, materials, and mixed cargo without relying on sophisticated shore facilities.

There is also a location advantage in buying a Used landing craft tank Indonesia vessel locally or through an Indonesian supplier. Inspection is easier. Conversion and repair options are easier. Documentation and local operating context are easier to understand.

And if you are seeking a Used landing craft tank in Indonesia for an Indonesian route or project, sourcing in-market can shorten the gap between inquiry and deployment. That kind of advantage is not always dramatic on paper, but in operations it can save real time.

What to Check When Buying a Used Landing Craft Tank

If you are evaluating a Used landing craft tank for sale, start with the hull.

Hull condition tells you more than glossy photos ever will. Plate thickness history, corrosion, deformation, repair records, and ramp-door integrity all matter. Then look at engine hours and the actual machinery condition. A used vessel can still be a strong buy, but only if the mechanical side has been maintained properly and the numbers match the story.

Classification matters too. A buyer should check class status, survey schedule, flag, and whether the vessel has current documentation that supports the intended trade. Maintenance history is another major point.

You want docking records, engine work history, and any major refurbishment notes. And this is where buyers sometimes rush. They see the dimensions they want, then forget the paperwork tells the deeper truth.

So yes, before committing to a Used LCT for sale, ask hard questions. Hull. engines. class. maintenance. These are not tiny details. They are the deal.

Why Choose an Indonesian LCT Factory

Ratson is a shipbuilding factory specializing in Landing Craft Tanks, ferries, tankers, tug boats, and variations, while also providing docking and repair services and supporting both new build and used vessel transactions. That matters because buyers do not always want a vessel exactly as-is. Sometimes they need repairs, deck changes, machinery work, or project-specific modification before deployment.

That is where a Used landing craft tank for sale Indonesia supplier with shipyard capability becomes more valuable. A pure trader can show a vessel. A shipyard-backed company can inspect, refurbish, modify, and prepare it. Ratson also highlights support from professional naval architects and a production focus on design, calculation, and quality fabrication. For buyers who want one partner across sourcing plus technical work, that combination is useful.

Our Experience with Used Landing Craft Tank Projects

Ratson has operated since 1991 and has evolved from industrial trade into a shipyard focused on landing craft tanks, self-propelled oil barges, ferries, tug boats, docking, repair, and second-hand vessel buying and selling. Our used LCT category page alone shows dozens of examples, which suggests sustained exposure to the Used LCT Indonesia market rather than a one-off transaction history.

That experience matters because used vessel projects are rarely simple. Different industries need different things. Mining logistics may need deck utility. Inter-island transport may prioritise reliability and shallow draft. Offshore support may focus on operating condition and cargo handling. A company working across manufacturing, refurbishment, and resale usually sees those differences more clearly.

Request Availability and Get Quotation

If you are actively looking for a Used landing craft tank for sale, the next step is to ask about current availability, recently sourced vessels, and whether a matching unit can be sourced or modified for your operation.

Ratson’s used vessel platform invites direct inquiry, and that is the right channel if you need a Used LCT for sale with specific DWT, LOA, engine brand, draft, or class requirements. Ready vessels may be available. Custom sourcing may also be possible.
