Taufik Agustono, the president director of shipping company, PT Humpuss Transportasi Kimia, has been detained by anti-corruption authorities in Indonesia over an alleged bribery case.

The case involves payments made to a politician, Bowo Sidik Pangarso, to secure a shipping contract with a state-run fertiliser firm. Bowo was jailed in December for five years for taking the bribe.

Humpuss subsidiary Humpuss Intermoda Transportasi has a fleet of 13 vessels according to VesselsValue, made up of 9 tankers, 2 LNG carriers and an LPG carrier.
