The bulk of fishing boats being blown up are vietnamese ships. Then you have token Chinese ships, I guess it's time for our indonesian brothers to admit that their mighty navy is not that mighty in front of the Chinese Coast Guard that protects Chinese fishing boats. Indonesian navy is simply a big joke and is something that should not be taken seriously.

Said a citizen of a country with gun-boat navy.

Vietnam, Indonesia boost cooperation in fisheries
The governments of Vietnam and Indonesia are proposed to extend by five years the Memorandum of Understanding (MoU) on navigation and fisheries cooperation inked by the two countries in January 2010.

Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Vu Van Tam (R) shakes hands with Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti.

Vietnam’s Deputy Minister of Agriculture and Rural Development Vu Van Tam and Indonesia’s Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Susi Pudjiastuti made the proposal during talks in Jakarta on July 26.

The two sides stressed the importance of enhancing fisheries collaboration.

Deputy Minister Tam said the Vietnamese Government discourages illegal fishing.

He recommended Indonesia handle Vietnamese fishermen boats’ violations in the country’s waters based on international law and in a humanitarian spirit.

Vietnam and Indonesia hope to maintain meetings between the joint technical committee on fisheries.

To settle issues related to fishing more effectively, Vietnam’s Ministry of Agriculture and Rural Development and Indonesia’s Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries will sign an agreement on establishing a hotline to prevent illegal fishing activities soon.

The host encouraged Vietnam to invest in aquatic breeding and processing in Indonesia.

She invited the guest to attend a meeting between seafood businesses and management agencies this September in Indonesia to explore cooperation opportunities.

Tam said Vietnam is willing to take part in the event.

Test:

The Phil vs. CN Abitral Tribunal issued a very very (and surprising) side statement that has direct implications for the ongoing China-Indonesia (or any country) fishing dispute, does any Chinese or Indonesian member know about this statement?

We knew it but our policies mainly come from our own law for the best for our own.

We knew it but our policies mainly come from our own law for the best for our own.

Indonesia prepares for mass ship sinking
Following months of tensions over sovereignty in and around its waters, Indonesia says it plans to sink 71 ships that were caught fishing illegally.

More than 70 fishing ships, including Chinese vessels, will be sent to the bottom of the ocean by Indonesia this month, in a public display of sovereignty over its waters.

Following months of tensions in the region over maritime rights in the South China Sea, Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti said they were planning to sink 71 ships deemed to have carried out illegal fishing in Indonesian waters.

The mass scuttling is set to take place on August 17 - Indonesia's Independence Day.

The Indonesian government has previously announced it had caught Chinese vessels fishing illegally in its waters.

But on Monday Ms Pudjiastuti remained tight-lipped as to from where the ships came.

"Based on a joint communique among those countries yesterday, we agreed to mention them only as foreign fishing ships. We don't mention the nation they came from," she told reporters in Jakarta.

A popular figure in President Joko Widodo's cabinet, Ms Pudjiastuti spearheaded the policy of seizing foreign vessels caught fishing illegally and blowing them up.

But this time, she said the ships will be sunk to create artificial reefs.

It's part of a move by Indonesia to combat illegal fishing and protect its sovereignty in the region.

In July alone, the Fisheries Ministry said it had caught 29 ships illegally fishing across the vast waters of the archipelago including off Natuna and Arafura Sea, just north of Darwin.

The sinking of the ships comes after President Widodo's much-publicised visit to the Natuna islands in June, in response to a number of Chinese vessels found in the waters and a subsequent statement by China that it was their traditional fishing ground.

The Indonesian navy fired warning shots at the vessels before later capturing one ship despite calls by a Chinese coastguard to release them.

Indonesia said two tonnes of suspected illegally caught fish were found aboard the Chinese vessel.

Similar confrontations with Chinese boats occurred in March and May when vessels were allegedly caught trawling in the same waters.

Govt allocates Rp175 billion for fishermen`s insurance program: Minister Susi
The Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Ministry (KKP) has allocated Rp175 billion for an insurance program for fishermen across the country. "We have readied Rp175 billion for providing insurance facilities to some one million fishermen this year," KKP Minister Susi Pudjiastuti stated at a press conference here on Monday.

Minister Susi expressed hope that the fishermen will register with the insurance program in future.

Based on data at the Central Bureau of Statistics, there are 2.7 million fishermen across the country.

Susi noted that her ministry will evaluate the application documents on Monday evening (Aug 1) and on Tuesday (Aug 2) and will announce the names of selected fishermen.

The compensation scheme for a fisherman, who dies in a fishing accident, is set at Rp200 million, Rp100 million for fishermen who suffered from permanent disabilities, and Rp20 million for medical treatment.

Fishermen killed in an accident unrelated to fishing activities can receive a compensation of Rp160 million, while those who ailed from permanent disabilities can avail Rp100 million, and Rp20 million for medical treatment.

The minister said the insurance facilities are provided to fishermen and not to ship crew members as they are insured through the Social Security Management Agency and other insurance schemes provided by the ship owners.

Minister Susi also hoped the media will take part in spreading awareness on the program, particularly with regard to the crew members of fishing ships who are not offered insurance facilities by the KKP.

The Natuna Island will be a unified fishery center in Indonesia
Russia invests in state fishing industry. MMAF plans to promote the development of complex fishery centers on the Natuna Island actively

The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia (MMAF) plan to promote the development of complex fishery centers on the Natuna Island actively. The international Company Blackspace is going to implement the building of the industrial refrigerating rooms for fish cooling in cooperation with Perikanan Indonesia, and also with the state company PT Nusantara.

“Ten huge refrigerators will be built in total”, - said the Minister Susi on 5th August. She mentioned that the process of fishery complex building is almost comple, and new refrigerating rooms would allow to reduce illegal fish storage, “at home”, noticeably.

The new united center of fishing on the Natuna Island gives an opportunity to increase the volume of industrial fishing from 9.3% upto 40% of the total fish stocks volume of Indonesia.

Fish storages (auctions) which are placed in Jakarta, Pontianak, Belawan and Batam will be moved to Natuna integrated fishery center.

Later the fishermen from the northern coast will also be transferred to resume fish in Natuna. Housing would be provided to facilitate fishermen who are willing to stay in Natuna. «At the moment all the fish from there are being moved to Jawa. Later, when the cooling complex is ready, all the fish will be stored here”, - said Susi.
