Policy Strategy for Developing the Maritime Sector Concept in Indonesia

Abstract

The purpose of this research on maritime sector development policy strategies in Indonesia is to provide a better understanding of the condition of the maritime sector in Indonesia, the challenges faced, and the opportunities that can be exploited. This research also aims to examine the policies implemented by the government in developing the maritime sector and their effectiveness. The researcher used logical research, which must prioritize objectivity, accuracy, and clarity. Thus, the logical research method can produce precise and reliable results. The findings indicate that the maritime sector has great potential to become one of the strategic economic sectors for Indonesia. However, there are several important challenges that must be faced in developing this sector, including infrastructure, regulations, and resource management. To overcome these challenges, the Indonesian government has issued maritime concepts and ideas that prioritize infrastructure and human resource development, strengthening maritime community areas, and increasing international cooperation. In addition, the government has also established a maritime development policy implementation model that involves the active participation of the community, the private sector, and increasing domestic and foreign investment. Implementing this policy requires synergy between various stakeholders, including the government, the private sector, the community, and entrepreneurs. This will significantly benefit Indonesia's economic growth, improve public welfare, and strengthen Indonesia's position on the international stage as a developed and rapidly developing maritime nation.
