Indonesia Maritime defence and security issue

no need to pity them, it's all about National Interest. Some countries want to increase their economic by conducting fishing although must commit some crimes, our just want to protect our fishing ground to be used for our local fishermen.

Albeit, any vessels who can conduct fishing thousands miles from their homeports is usually large vessels and not poorly equipped at all.

I see. Indonesia definitely has every right to enforce territorial laws against any trespassers. You guys have like thousands of islands? Surely not easy for your coast guards. But I have to say your guys have some awesome beaches & natural beauty, the seafood is great too. :-)

Yes indeed,

that's our blessing and curse at the same time though, to become the largest archipelago country in the world and one of the most diverse society in the world as the result.

Diamankan, 16 Ton Ikan Tuna Hasil "Ilegal Fishing" - Kompas.com

Well Indonesia is just enforcing her law in their territory so there is no problem as long as the fishermen are treated humanely.

Anyways, is that a tuna fish in the last picture? I must have been looking at canned tuna for a long time that I didn't thought tuna fish are that big.

National News
The Indonesian government has repatriated 23 Myanmar citizens who were enslaved as crew on a Thai-owned fishing vessel, after the victims had settled their cases with fishing companies. The repatriation process started in December last year.

Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti said that of the total of 103 enslaved crew members, 73 have had their claims and salaries paid out by the fishing company, leaving 30 people still to undergo the process. Those waiting are currently taking shelter in Ambon, Maluku.

"In December, 23 Myanmar citizens were returned to their homeland, with the cooperation of the International Organization for Migration," Susi said in a press conference on Monday as quoted by kompas.com at the office of the anti-illegal fishing task force.

The next repatriation group, she continued, would leave on Jan. 12, with 14 people. The other 24 persons are yet to receive their certificates of identity from the Myanmar government, which is still running a citizenship verification process.

Details of crew members being repatriated:

1. Sumber Laut Utama and Maju Bersama Jaya: five out of 12 crew have been repatriated

2. S&T Mitra Mina Industri and Era Sistem Informasindo: 10 of 12 crew have received their salary and four have been repatriated.

Indonesia needs to maintain the momentum in fishery exports as its strict measures against illegal fishing contributed to an increase in exports last year, a researcher said on Monday.

Center for Policy Analysis fishery researcher Suhana said the moratorium on permits issued to foreign fishing vessels in 2014 and 2015 had contributed to an increase in tuna exports to the US last year, while neighboring Thailand and the Philippines saw decreases.

"We need to take this opportunity to become the largest fishery product exporter," Suhana said at a press conference held by the People’s Coalition for Equal Fisheries (KIARA).

Citing latest data from the Maritime Affairs and Fishery Ministry on tuna fish exports to the US, Suhana said that Indonesian exports booked a 7.73 percent increase year-on-year from January to September 2015, while exports from Thailand and the Philippines decreased 17.36 percent and 32.59 percent, respectively.

He added that the main markets for Indonesian fishery products were faraway, such as Japan and the US. Southeast Asian countries were export-oriented and did not import from each other No country had a percentage of imports from other ASEAN countries higher than 50 percent except Brunei, which was at 81.89 percent, Suhana added.

"Even in Southeast Asia, only Indonesia and Vietnam have surpluses in fishery product exports-imports. ASEAN countries usually only import fishery products from other ASEAN countries to be processed and exported again to countries outside of ASEAN," Suhana said.(+)
