The safety of shipping in the country, especially for Indonesian-flagged commercial vessels, has received great attention from PT Bureau Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI) as the parent holding company for BUMN Survey Services or IDSurvey. IDSurvey showed various efforts and support, including attending the International Maritime Organization (IMO) session in London, England, last Wednesday (19/7/2023).
"Of course, our presence (IDSurvey) at the IMO session is a form of support for the safety of shipping Indonesian-flagged commercial vessels. "Moreover, IDSurvey is the party authorized by the government to carry out international standard surveys and certification for Indonesian-flagged ships," said Arisudono as Main Director of IDSurvey in Jakarta, Thursday (20/7/2023).
Previously, IDSurvey held a Port State Control (PSC) inspection Awareness forum or studies related to public security in an effort to improve the quality of Indonesian shipping. The forum also discussed preventing Indonesian-flagged commercial vessels from being rejected (detention) from docking in other countries.
Arisudono said, through PSC Inspection Awareness, IDSurvey wants to invite owners of Indonesian-flagged commercial vessels to educate their crew so that they know and understand the regulations related to docking at the destination country's dock. Moreover, currently Indonesia has been included in the whitelist, based on the Tokyo MOU Port State Control annual report for the Asia-Pacific region 2022.
"Of course there are big benefits for us if Indonesia is in a whitelist position like it is now. Because by being in the whitelist position, it will support improving the performance of national logistics and exports/imports, thereby making a major contribution to national economic growth. "For this reason, we need to maintain and improve the quality and safety performance and security of Indonesian-flagged ships," said Arisudono.
As is known, the government is currently improving shipping safety and security as well as protecting the maritime environment. For this reason, Indonesia is joining the IMO which will be led by Arsenio Antonio Domingues Velasco from the Republic of Panama who was elected as Secretary General of IMPO for the period 1 January 2024 - 31 December 2028.
A total of 40 (forty) member countries of the IMO Council cast their votes for 6 (six) candidates for Secretary General of the IMO and in the final round 3 (three) candidates remained which was won by Arsenio from the Republic of Panama with 21 votes out of a total of 40 votes. With 21 votes, Arsenio from Panama was elected Secretary General of the IMO replacing Kitack Lim.
