Permenhub 4 Tahun 2023: Improving Safety in Navigating at Sea through a Comprehensive Regulation on Shipping Telecommunication
In ensuring the safety and security of sea transportation, two factors must be taken into account: seaworthiness and marine navigation. The latter involves a good seamanship, professional knowledge and judgment, as well as application of science and technology. One of the main aspects in marine navigation includes shipping-telecommunication, which holds an important role in ensuring the safety of navigating in seas since it serves as a medium to conduct ship-to-ship and ship-to-shore communication during shipping, hence, a thorough regulation regarding shipping-telecommunication is crucial.
To accommodate the above, on 1 February 2023, the Ministry of Transportation (“MoT”) enacted MoT Regulation No. 4 of 2023 regarding Implementation of Shipping-Telecommunication and Service of Vessel Traffic Governance in Indonesian Waters (“MoT Reg 4/2023”). The recently issued regulation governs provisions related to shipping communication more comprehensively, as well as introduces new shipping telecommunication technologies.
