On March 22, the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) signed a grant agreement with the Government of the Republic of Indonesia, in the capital Jakarta, to provide grant aid of up to 9,053 million yen for The Project for the Enhancement of Ability in Maritime Safety and Security.
The objective of the project is to improve the ability of the Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (BAKAMLA) to carry out maritime rescue and law enforcement quickly and appropriately, doing so through the deployment of a patrol vessel, thereby contributing to the improvement of maritime safety and security in the territorial waters of Indonesia.

While the waters around Indonesia are rich in fishery resources and constitute an extremely important sea lane in terms of international logistics—with approximately 90% of the crude oil imported into Japan passing through them—they are also the site of illegal fishing, the smuggling of people and goods, terrorism, piracy, and human trafficking, and are prone to natural disasters. Patrols in the waters have therefore become increasingly important.
In addition to contributing to the improvement of maritime safety in the country’s waters, this project will also contribute to the achievement of SDGs Goals 9 (Industry, innovation and infrastructure), 14 (Life below water), and 16 (Peace, justice and strong institutions).
