THE SHIPPING INDUSTRY TURNS INDONESIA INTO A WORLD MARITIME AXIS

Indonesia has the potential to be a powerful maritime nation because it is one of the largest archipelagic nations in the world. The shipping sector is one of the industrial sectors whose development is prioritized by the Indonesian government. Indonesia's policy is described by President Joko Widodo as the Global Maritime Axis, which is comprised of five major pillars. One is the dedication to constructing maritime connections and infrastructure through the development of sea toll roads, sea ports, the shipping sector, and marine tourism.

According to a press release from Kemenperin.go.id, the Minister of Industry, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita, spoke about Indonesia's responsibility as a powerful and independent maritime nation. "Our goal is to transform Indonesia into a powerful and independent maritime nation. On October 5, 2022, Agus Gumiwang Kartasasmita stated that "synergy is needed to adopt policies and concrete initiatives to strengthen the transportation sector and suitable marine infrastructure."

According to the minister of industry, the shipping sector has historically played a crucial role in sustaining the national economy. This sector exhibits the traits of a labor-intensive, capital-intensive, and technologically-intensive industry. Minister Agus added that the maritime business sector has a significant backward and forward relationship.
