Jakarta (Antara Bali) - The Asian joint maritime security authorities have foiled an attempt to pirate the Malaysian-registered tanker, MT Zafirah, in the Vietnamese waters, according to the Indonesia Maritime Security Information Center (PIKMI).
        
"The tanker which carried 320,173 liters of crude oil from Pasir Gudang, Johor, to Miri, Sarawak, Malaysia, lost contact with the owner on Tuesday (Nov 20) 174.4 nautical miles off the  southeastern coast of Con Son Island in Vietnam," Chief of PIKMI Mohamad Yasin said in a press release issued on Sunday.
        
The Vietnamese maritime police saved nine crew members of the tanker, consisting of four from Indonesia and five from Myanmar, the release said.
        
PIKMI said the pirates were supposed to sell the crude oil in Vietnam.
        
While on its way to Vietnam, the pirates dropped the crew members on a lifeboat, it said.
        
Currently, the crew members are given shelter in Vietnam after being saved by a fishery boat passing by in the waters on Nov 21, it said.
        
The tanker was spotted on Nov 22 abut 35 nautical miles southeast of Vung Tung in Vietnam.(*/M038)

Membedah Pengenaaan CHC dan THC di Pelabuhan

Gambar
Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok kembali membetot perhatian. Kali ini terkait dengan wacana penaikan container handling charges atau CHC oleh pengelola terminal peti kemas di sana. Kebijakan tersebut direncanakan karena sejak 2008 CHC belum mengalami perubahan sementara biaya-biaya terkait pengoperasian terminal terus bergerak naik.  Jakarta International Container Terminal, Terminal Peti Kemas Koja dan Mustika Alam Lestari selaku operator terminal di Tanjung Priok sudah membahas rencana kenaikan tersebut dengan para pihak yang termaktub dalam Pereaturan Menteri (Permen) Perhubungan No. 15 tahun 2014, yaitu Gabungan Importir Seluruh Indonesia, Indonesian National Shipowners’ Association, Pelayaran Rakyat, Asosiasi Forwarder dan Logistik Indonesia, Asosiasi Perusahaan Bongkar Muat Indonesia, dan Gabungan Perusahaan Ekspor Indonesia. Perkembangan terakhir, kabarnya tarif baru CHC akan diberlakukan pada Juni nanti. Sampai di situ sebetulnya tidak ada persoalan. Kehebohan baru muncul

Mungkinkah TNI-AL menjadi blue-water navy (kembali)?

Walaupun Oktober sudah berlalu, namun tentulah masih bisa kita berkontemplasi seputar Tentara Nasional Indonesia (TNI) yang berulang tahun ke-68 pada bulan tersebut. Tulisan ini membatasi diri pada matra laut.  Dalam kurun empat tahun terakhir, Indonesia telah mengirimkan kapal perangnya berlayar ke luar negeri untuk mengemban misi internasional. Ambil contoh, KRI Diponegoro-365. Kala itu, ia menjalankan dua misi sekaligus, yakni sebagai bagian dari Satuan Tugas Maritim TNI Kontingen Garuda (Konga) XXVIII-A di Libanon dan reinforcement bagi patroli keamanan multinasional di wilayah perairan Somalia yang masih saja dibayangi ancaman piracy atau perompakan. Menurut Panglima TNI waktu itu, Jenderal TNI Djoko Santoso, ketika melepas kapal perang tersebut di dermaga Komando Lintas Laut Militer, Tanjung Priok, Jakarta, kedua misi itu merupakan yang pertama dalam sejarah panjang TNI-AL.  Pertanyaannya, apakah pengiriman kapal-kapal perang itu belakangan ini mengindikasikan bahw
