Indonesian maritime law

Indonesian maritime law governs activities related to the use, management, and protection of Indonesia's maritime areas, including territorial waters, exclusive economic zones, and islands. It sets rules for navigation, fishing, shipping, environmental protection, and marine resource exploitation, ensuring sustainable and lawful use of maritime resources. The law aligns with international conventions like UNCLOS, and emphasizes sovereignty over its waters while promoting safe and responsible maritime activities. It also establishes regulations for port operations, maritime safety, and maritime disputes, aiming to secure Indonesia’s strategic interests and preserve the ecological health of its vast maritime domain.
