Just another day at the sea; I am pretty sure the Indonesian authorities treat the detained fishermen humanely.

We hope this incident can push and further strengthen our 2 countries cooperation in maritime domain.


Philippines, Indonesia meet on maritime issues
The Philippines hosted the 9th Meeting of the Joint Permanent Working Group on Maritime and Ocean Concerns (JPWG-MOC) between the Philippines and Indonesia from June 8 to 10, 2016 in Makati City.

The meeting discussed the proposed implementing arrangement between the Philippines and Indonesia on Articles II and III of the 2014 Agreement on the Delimitation of the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) Boundary and the related issue of joint production of a nautical chart of the Celebes Sea. The 2014 Delimitation Agreement, touted to be the first of such accord between two archipelagic states, defines the EEZ limits of the two countries.

The clear definition of the EEZ boundaries between the two countries is seen not only as a vehicle for strengthening maritime regulatory regime in the Celebes Sea but more importantly in promoting cooperation in safety and security of navigation and search and rescue, and marine and fisheries cooperation, including combating Illegal, Unreported and Unregulated fishing (IUUF) practices, among others. For Filipino seafarers and fishermen, this means being able to undertake their respective economic activities within the Philippine EEZ with the least interference.

With the shared desire of both countries of firming up the modus operandi in the conduct and implementation of border patrol and monitoring, backed up by clarity of their EEZ limits, the Meeting revisited the 1975 Border Crossing Agreement and the 1975 Border Patrol Agreement. Further internal discussions within their respective capitals are expected to ensue.

The Indonesian Navy arrested a Chinese-flagged vessel caught illegally fishing in the Natuna waters near Riau during a sea patrol on Friday.

The KRI Imam Bonjol-383 received information from maritime air surveillance about 12 foreign vessels fishing in the Natuna waters, Navy spokesman First Admiral Edi Sucipto said.

The foreign vessels tried to escape as the KRI Imam Bonjol approached them. The Navy then chased the vessels and released warning shots that were ignored. The KRI Imam Bonjol then managed to stop one of the 12 vessels.

The Navy searched the Chinese-flagged vessel. The vessel contained six male crewmembers and one female. All are suspected to be Chinese nationals.

The crewmembers have been brought to the Ranai Navy Base for further examination, Edi said.

"We will not hesitate to take firm action against those who violate Indonesia’s jurisdiction, whatever their flags are," he said as quoted by Antara news agency on Saturday.

Navy vessel KRI Oswald Siahaan-354 also recently arrested another Chinese-flagged vessel caught stealing fish around the Natuna waters. Meanwhile, Maritime Security Coordinating Board vessel KN Gajah Lau also arrested an Indonesian-flag vessel carrying Filipino crewmembers in Sulawesi waters on Thursday along with 50 kilograms of tuna suspected to be stolen from Indonesian waters.

The government, along with the Indonesian Military, has been stepping up security in the seas to combat illegal fishing by foreigners as well as tighten maritime security. (rin)

China condemns Indonesian navy's attack on Chinese fishermen

Jun 19th 2016,21:38CCTVNEWS


China has condemned an attack by Indonesian naval ships on Chinese fishermen on the waters of the South China Sea.

One crew member was injured and seven other fishermen were detained on Friday after multiple Indonesian naval ships open fired at the Chinese fishing boats.

China immediately dispatched coastguard ships after receiving distress signal to protect the fishermen and rescue the wounded. The wounded fisherman was sent to a nearby hospital in Hainan Province for treatment and is currently in stable condition, according to a statement from the Foreign Ministry. It was unclear from the statement whether Indonesia was still holding the Chinese vessel and those on board.

China also said in the statement that the area where the incident occurred is subject to overlapping interests. It has accused Jakarta to have violated international laws, including the United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea, and the Declaration on the Conduct of Parties in the South China Sea signed by ASEAN countries in 2012.

Indonesia's navy said it had fired warning shots at several boats with Chinese flags, which according to them, were “fishing illegally” near the Natuna Islands, but did not mention any injuries.

This is the country’s third reported confrontation this year near a chain of islands, as regional tensions mount in the South China Sea. The incident follows two other spats near the islands when Indonesian navy encountered Chinese fishing boats.

Indonesian authority regularly patrol our sea and crack down any violation they found. If Chinese fisherman don't take lesson from all the previous incident, this report would become a norm in the future. And they'll soon join with other offender weeping for their fishing boats getting blown up for good.

Inside our Exclusive Economic Zone (200 NM), we have 3 agency that can crack down intrusion and violation of maritime law at the sea : Navy, Coast Guard, and Maritime & Fishery Patrol.

Indonesia defends opening fire on Chinese boat
  • Posted 20 Jun 2016 19:53 Updated 20 Jun 2016 20:02

JAKARTA: Indonesia on Monday (Jun 20) defended opening fire on Chinese sailors as an action aimed at stopping illegal fishing, after the latest confrontation between the nations in the South China Sea.

Beijing has protested strongly over Friday's clash near Indonesia's Natuna Islands, saying one Chinese fisherman was injured.

The Indonesian navy said that seven sailors and a Chinese-flagged vessel were detained but insisted no one was hurt.

It was the third such skirmish in recent months between Indonesia and China near the Natunas, which are west of Borneo, as tensions rise between Beijing and several nations over its growing assertiveness in the disputed South China Sea.

Unlike some of its Southeast Asian neighbours, Indonesia does not dispute ownership of reefs or islets in the sea. But there have been tensions as Beijing's claims overlap with Indonesia's exclusive economic zone around the Natunas.

Indonesian Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti, who is leading a campaign to crack down on illegal fishing, defended the navy's actions.

"The Indonesian navy made the right move by maintaining the sovereignty of our seas," she tweeted. "The shooting was definitely according to procedure."

She added that "stealing fish is a crime. It is impossible that there is an agreement between countries that allows for stealing fish".


President Joko Widodo met with Security Minister Luhut Panjaitan on Monday following the clash and ordered him to defend Indonesia's sovereignty, presidential spokesman Johan Budi said.

"The president ordered him to defend Indonesia's territorial sovereignty that we have struggled to build up since our independence," he said.

But he added the president wanted this to be done without "affecting good relations". Indonesia's aggressive crackdown on illegal fishing, which began in 2014, has riled several of its neighbours.

China's official Xinhua news agency said Sunday the latest clash took place in "traditional Chinese fishing ground" where the two countries have overlapping maritime claims.

Indonesia's navy said it intercepted 12 foreign vessels illegally fishing which fled as their warships approached. Navy vessels pursued and fired several warning shots, until eventually a Chinese-flagged ship was stopped and boarded, the statement said.

Seven crew members were detained, as well as the vessel.

In March Chinese coastguards rammed a Chinese boat detained near the Natunas and helped it escape as the Indonesians towed the vessel to shore.

Last month, the Indonesian navy opened fire on a Chinese trawler near the islands and seized the vessel.

China asserts authority over almost all the South China Sea despite partial counter-claims from several Southeast Asian nations.
