Maritime Logistics Reformation with the Utilization of Early Warning System for the Security and Safety of Indonesian Waters

Abstract

The idea of Indonesian maritime development to make Indonesia "the Global Maritime Axis" should be balanced with some concrete steps. One of them is applying the improvement in the Maritime Logistics System field through “the Maritime Logistics Reformation”. Hopefully, it can push the high logistics cost nowadays and improve the efficiency of logistics services in Indonesia. The implementation of Maritime Logistics Reformation in the future should be supervised and monitored, especially in the aspect of maritime safety and security in Indonesian waters using the sea safety and security monitoring system. This supervision is particularly implemented through the Early Warning System which is supported by human resources that have competency in the field of monitoring equipments and maritime technology utilization as well as data collected by each radar station and ground station by providing information services throughout the waters area in Indonesia, especially along the ALKI (Indonesian Archipelago Sea Line Channel) areas in Indonesia. Besides that, it is necessary to provide the Indonesian maritime information source that always meets IMO (International Maritime Organization) standard, which always brings up the maritime security, navigation safety and marine environmental protection for people.
