JAKARTA (REUTERS) - The captain of a fuel tanker arrested by the Indonesian navy in May on suspicion of illegally anchoring in its waters has been jailed for 15 days and fined 200 million rupiah (S$18,770), a navy spokesman said on Wednesday (July 13).
The Nord Joy, a Panama-flagged oil products tanker, was detained on May 30 whilst anchored in Indonesian waters to the east of the Singapore Strait, one of the world's busiest shipping lanes.
Indonesian navy officers asked for an unofficial payment of US$375,000 to release the vessel, two people involved in the negotiations told Reuters at the time.
The Indonesian navy denied any such payment was requested and said the vessel was being held for anchoring in its waters without a permit. Synergy Group, the manager of the Nord Joy, also said it was not aware of any request by the navy for money.
The vessel has been released after a court on July 7 handed down the jail sentence and fine to Vivek Kumar, the ship's captain, Navy spokesman Julius Widjojono told Reuters.
A Synergy Group spokesperson confirmed its vessel had been released after a court hearing on Batam, an Indonesian island south of Singapore that is home to an Indonesian naval base.
The tanker, which is 183m long and can carry up to 350,000 barrels of fuel, is currently anchored to the west of Singapore en route to Tanjung Pelepas port in Malaysia, according to Refinitiv ship tracking data.
Last year, Reuters reported a dozen similar detentions by the Indonesian navy in waters to the east of Singapore. In those cases, the ship owners made unofficial payments of about US$300,000 each and the vessels were released.
The navy denies any such payments were made.

There are many Arab Indonesians who are offspring of prophet Muhammad like this person (recent Arab Indonesian coming is Hadramaut which is the place in Middle East where the most of prophet Muhammad offspring present). But actually since people coming from Middle East have been present in Indonesia since ancient time, so basically I believe many native Indonesians are also offspring of Prophet Muhammad as well despite the look is already very Indonesian.
This soldier (Major) had been living in Saudi Arabia since he is born until reaching 7 years old as his mother is Saudi while his father is Arab Indonesian with prophet Muhammad blood line (Assegaf clan).

Alman Helvast and many Indonesian defense enthusiast lough on GFP ranking where Indonesia is always put in best 20 nation.
Well, GFP calculate many thing like economy, population, number of professional soldiers, landmass, and others. That is basically true for total war scenario. This can be seen on Ukraine war where Ukraine has to fight Russia and pretty much they can withstand well so far and able at least protect their capital city.
Do you think small Singapore can withstand from assault from China or Russia ? People who just rank country military strength based on how many modern weapon it has without thinking about other factors are the one that have simple mind, and even Lowy Institute from Australia are among them.
