JAKARTA, KOMPAS.com - Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan mengalokasikan anggaran Rp 4 triliun untuk membangun ribuan kapal penangkap ikan, pengangkutan, dan pengawasan pada 2016.

Program pengadaan kapal ditargetkan mencapai 16.000 unit senilai Rp 16 triliun pada periode 2016-2019.

Program pengadaan kapal dilakukan melalui konsorsium PT PAL Indonesia dengan perusahaan-perusahaan galangan kapal dalam negeri.

"Ini tes bagi kemandirian dan kemampuan industri galangan kapal nasional. Saya yakin kita bisa, asalkan ada kemauan," ujar Menteri Kelautan dan Perikanan Susi Pudjiastuti, saat menyaksikan penandatanganan perjanjian Kementerian Kelautan dan Perikanan (KKP) dengan PT PAL Indonesia (Persero) tentang Pengembangan Kapal Perikanan dan Kapal Pengawas di Jakarta, Kamis (5/11/2015).

Pada 2016, KKP menargetkan pembangunan 3.540 kapal penangkap ikan senilai Rp 2,09 triliun, 7 unit kapal angkut senilai Rp 24,25 miliar, dan 23.700 alat tangkap untuk koperasi unit desa senilai Rp 598 miliar. Semua kapal penangkap ikan yang disiapkan ini berbahan baku fiber.

Kapal penangkap ikan berukuran di bawah 5 gros ton (GT) sebanyak 1.000 unit, kapal 5 GT direncanakan 1.000 unit, kapal 10 GT sebanyak 1.000 unit, kapal 20 GT direncanakan 500 unit, dan kapal 30 GT sebanyak 40 unit.

Direktur Jenderal Perikanan Tangkap KKP Narmoko Prasmadji mengemukakan, spesifikasi kapal penangkap ikan akan disesuaikan dengan kebutuhan daerah. Bantuan setiap unit kapal mencakup dua jenis alat tangkap dan dokumen perizinan kapal sehingga bisa langsung dioperasikan setelah diserahterimakan. Bantuan kapal diharapkan menggantikan atau merevitalisasi kapal milik koperasi.

"Proses tender pengadaan kapal dimulai akhir 2015. Program ini seperti program bantuan 1.000 kapal Inka Mina. Hal yang baik dari program Inka Mina masih kita pertahankan," kata Narmoko.

Bantuan 1.000 kapal Inka Mina berlangsung periode 2010- 2014 dengan anggaran Rp 1,5 triliun. Namun, bantuan itu menuai sejumlah masalah, seperti salah peruntukan, spesifikasi kapal tidak memadai, bahkan kesulitan operasional.

Kendala koperasi

Narmoko menambahkan, kapal-kapal penangkap ikan diperuntukkan bagi koperasi dan kelompok usaha bersama (KUB) nelayan berprestasi. Pihak penerima bantuan masih didata.

Saat ini, kendala yang masih muncul adalah belum banyak koperasi dan kelompok nelayan di Indonesia yang berkinerja bagus. Dari 147.000 koperasi yang berkinerja bagus, jumlah koperasi perikanan ditaksir kurang dari 20 persen.

Sebelumnya, Menteri Koperasi dan Usaha Kecil Menengah Kabinet Kerja Anak Agung Ngurah Puspayoga mengingatkan, pemerintah harus menyeleksi koperasi penerima bantuan kapal agar tidak salah sasaran. Kelompok-kelompok nelayan perlu didorong untuk membentuk koperasi sebagai syarat mendapatkan bantuan.

"Tidak semua koperasi itu bagus. Jangan semua dikasih bantuan kapal, harus dicek betul," ujarnya.

Direktur Utama PT PAL Indonesia Firmansyah Arifin mengemukakan, masih menyeleksi industri galangan kapal di Indonesia. Saat ini, yang sudah terdaftar 200 galangan kapal.

"Galangan kapal diharapkan berlokasi dekat dengan daerah penyerahan kapal bantuan. Dengan demikian, terjadi efisiensi biaya," katanya.

Firmansyah menambahkan, kapal-kapal penangkap ikan yang dibuat galangan kapal pada lokasi berbeda-beda harus memiliki standar mutu yang sama. (LKT)

Ministry claims success in fight against fish poaching
Rabu, 18 November 2015 23:05 WIB | 635 Views

Jakarta (ANTARA News) - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries claimed that its focused efforts on curbing illegal fishing practices have significantly reduced fish poaching.

"Over the past year, the fight against illegal, unreported, unregulated (IUU) fishing has been a major success," Nilanto Perbowo, the director general for competitive edge reinforcement of marine and fisheries products, stated at a press conference here on Wednesday.

He pointed out that the biggest impact of the fight against IUU fishing was the success achieved by the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries in eliminating fish theft by foreign vessels, which often operated in the Indonesian waters.

The disappearance of foreign fishing vessels could benefit traditional fishermen in various regions. They can easily fish now than in the past. At the same time, the government, through the marine affairs and fisheries ministry, could ensure the availability of the nations fish stocks and ways to optimally exploit their potential.

Earlier this month, Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti stated that the task force meant to prevent illegal fishing will focus on the border regions.

"There are five regions highly prone to illegal fishing," the Marine Affairs and Fisheries Ministrys press release quoted Minister Pudjiastuti as saying on Tuesday (Nov. 3).

The five regions are the Malacca Strait, Natuna Sea or the South China Sea, the waters in the north of Sulawesi and Kalimantan, Arafuru Sea, and the sea in the south of Java or the Indian Ocean.

Meanwhile, on Monday (Nov. 2), Indonesias task force, meant to keep a check on IUU fishing, held its first coordination meeting at the maritime affairs and fisheries ministry here.

The meeting was presided over by Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Pudjiastuti in her capacity as commander of the IUU fishing task force.

The task force was established in accordance with Presidential Regulation No. 115 of 2015, appointing Minister Pudjiastuti as chief and the deputy chief of staff of the Navy as executive chairman.

The head of the maritime security agency (Bakamla), the head of the Security Maintenance Agency (Baharkam) of the National Police, and the general crime attorney are the task forces deputy executive chairmen.

The new body has the authority to coordinate efforts among various institutions in the fight against illegal fishing activities that have inflicted losses worth Rp300 trillion annually on the state.

Indonesia has incurred material losses and environmental damage due to illegal fishing activities, mostly conducted by foreign fishing boats in its maritime territory.

Therefore, Indonesia has vowed to impose stringent sanctions against the perpetrators of such crimes to serve as a deterrent to other poachers.

This year alone, until mid-October, the Indonesian authorities have sunk at least 91 foreign fishing ships caught poaching in the Indonesian waters as the fight against illegal fishing in its maritime territory continues.(*)

Manado, N Sulawesi (ANTARA News) - Indonesia, through the Ministry of Marine and Fisheries, is mustering global support for the eradication of Illegal, Unreported, and Unregulated (IUU) Fishing in its waters, according to Marine and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti.

"The government remains committed in combating all forms of IUU fishing and fisheries crime in the Indonesian waters, and it needs global support to make the efforts more effective," Pudjiastuti stated after inaugurating the Coral Triangle Initiative (CTI) building in Manado, North Sulawesi, on Tuesday.

According to Pudjiastuti, crimes in the marine and fisheries sector, such as IUU fishing is a global problem that threatens ocean ecosystems and sustainable fisheries.

"We are grateful to receive support and positive response from the international community. I hope to continue this cooperation in order to fight against IUU in the fisheries sector globally," Pudjiastuti explained during the first Regional Workshop on IUU Fishing and Sustainable Fisheries Exercise in Manado.

She explained that such a crime in the fisheries sector is highly detrimental to Indonesia as it not only depleted the natural resources of the ocean but also resulted in economic losses of up to US$20 billion per year.

Pudjiastuti further added that IUU fishing activities posed a threat to 65 percent of the coral reefs, 85 percent of the global fish stocks, and small-scale fishermen.

She remarked that IUU fishing was also associated with human rights crimes, such as human trafficking and slavery, money laundering, corruption, and tax fraud.

The establishment of a task force to combat IUU fishing, which was decided by the Indonesian president on October 19, 2015, was a milestone in the eradication of illegal fishing in the country.

The workshop is a forum to share information and experiences and to gain knowledge on IUU fishing and other fishing-related crimes from various expert sources, such as the FAO, ILO, UNODC, the Coordinating Ministry of Maritime Affairs, illegal fishing combating task force, and the Indonesian Navy.(*)

Thailand to follow Minister Susi’s lead on illegal fishing

Thailand Agriculture Minister Chatchai Sarikulya has met with the Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti to discuss illegal, unreported and unregulated (IUU) fishing and will follow the approach taken by Minister Susi to deal with the issue. After meeting with Susi in Jakarta on Friday, Chatchai said that the Thai government was committed to controlling unofficial local fishing activities and would be open to cooperating with the Indonesian government.

"We understand and are strongly committed to eradicating illegal fishing. We are closely and seriously cooperating with Indonesia to handle the problem, for both our sakes,” Chatchai said as reported by kompas.com.

He said that the Thai government would follow Susi's methods to tackle illegal fishing. "I really appreciate being warmly welcomed here and I will do the same in Thailand later," he said.

On the same occasion, Susi expressed her appreciation for the Thai government acting more firmly on illegal fishing. "Ships (guilty of IUU fishing) that get sent back there will be punished well," Susi explained. The cooperation with Thailand to tackle illegal fishing will not change a lot of what has already been implemented in Indonesia, according to Susi. She said if ships pleaded guilty, they would be sunk. "We want to solve (IUU fishing) together. But it does not mean boats that were stolen will not still be sunk," Susi said.

So far Indonesia has sunken more than 100 boats and ships that were found guilty of catching fish in Indonesian waters.

ANTARA News : Portal Berita Indonesia
