Koordinator Pikmi, M.Yasin mengatakan, angka sea robbery tertinggi terjadi pada 2010, yaitu 19 insiden perampokan laut.

Dari enam peristiwa kejahatan dengan kategori 2 yang tercatat selama Agustus 2012 semuanya terjadi di kawasan Asia Tenggara. “Sementara pada 2011 dan 2010, kejahatan maritim banyak terjadi di kawasan Asia Selatan,” tuturnya. (k1/sut)

Should "Roro Shipping" rev up to Clamp Down on high logistics costs?

Indonesia’s chronical high logistics costs are thoroughly discussed through seminars, workshops but are nevertheless never adequately reseolved. Of course, such platforms are not totally useless: they still produce something of value: a pile of papers with strong data on the country's logistics affairs, gathered from respectable overseas and domestic research institutions. Discussion over the issue has been ongoing for more than two decades, starting during the President Susilo Bambang Yudhoyono (SBY) administration. The 6 th Indonesian president even tried to clamp down the problem, with a more concrete measure, by ordering Deputy Finance Minister Mahendra Siregar to take an office space and go to work at the Port of Tanjung Priok of Jakarta to monitor the apparently uncontrollable logistics cost, 24/7. Not only that: SBY then established a task force and appointed Coordinating Minister for Economic Affairs Sofyan Djalil to lead it. Up to the final term of the President, logistic...

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 mun...
