Our intern associate, Alicia Daphne, from Universitas Parahyangan Law School, recently led a compelling discussion on the reinforcement of cabotage laws in Indonesia, reflecting her deep understanding and passion for maritime law.

What is Cabotage?

Cabotage involves shipping activities restricted within a single state or between ports within the same state, conducted exclusively by vessels registered in that state. This practice is critical for protecting Indonesia’s maritime sovereignty and supporting its domestic shipping industries.

The reinforcement of cabotage is a cornerstone of Indonesian maritime law, underscoring the nation’s strategy to bolster its maritime axis and propel economic growth through a protected and regulated maritime environment.

Advantages of Robust Cabotage Laws

• National Maritime Sovereignty: Strengthening these laws reinforces Indonesia’s control over its maritime resources, crucial for national security.
• Economic Development: Focusing on local vessels boosts the maritime sector, enhancing technology transfer and job creation.
• Operational Efficiency: Effective cabotage laws ensure more reliable and efficient maritime services, essential for Indonesia’s archipelagic logistics.

While the reinforcement of cabotage laws offers significant benefits, it also presents challenges that might affect its overall effectiveness.
