The waters surrounding Indonesia are rich in fisheries resources and are an extremely important maritime transportation route from the perspective of international logistics, including Japan, as approximately 90% of the crude oil imported to Japan passes through the area. The importance of patrolling the country’s waters is increasing. This project will contribute to the improvement of maritime safety in the country’s waters and help realize SDG Goal 9 (Create a foundation for industry and technological innovation), Goal 14 (Protect the marine wealth), and Goal 16 (Peace and justice for all).
