Indonesia and Spain are discussing a possible cooperation project to build 10 surveillance ships. The plan could become an interesting opportunity for Indonesia’s shipbuilding industry and also strengthen cooperation between the two countries.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
The discussion was reported by ANTARA New and Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries said that the two governments were still negotiating the plan. The ships could be built through foreign loan or foreign grant schemes.<\/p>\n
<\/p>\n
Ten Ships for Indonesia<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The Indonesian government planned to build 10 surveillance ships as part of efforts to improve monitoring of the country’s waters. Indonesia has a very large maritime area, so monitoring fishing activities and protecting marine resources is an important task.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The plan also has a connection with Indonesia’s domestic component level, known as TKDN. Under the plan, four of the 10 ships would be built in Spain, while the other six would be built in Indonesia.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n This arrangement could be useful for Indonesia because it would not only involve buying ships from another country. It could also give Indonesian shipyards an opportunity to take part in the construction process.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Opportunity for Indonesia’s Shipbuilding Industry<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n Building six ships locally could create opportunities for Indonesia’s shipbuilding sector. Local companies could become involved in construction, equipment, maintenance, and other supporting activities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n International cooperation can also bring new knowledge and experience. Working with companies or institutions from Spain could give Indonesian businesses the chance to learn about shipbuilding technology, production standards, and project management.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n For Indonesia, this type of cooperation can be valuable in developing a stronger domestic maritime industry. Instead of depending completely on imported vessels, more parts of the production process can be handled inside the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Why Does Indonesia Need More Surveillance Ships?<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The need for surveillance ships is connected to Indonesia’s efforts to protect its marine resources. Illegal fishing remains an important challenge for the country.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n According to the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries, around 23,000 boats involved in illegal fishing activities were detected in Indonesian waters in 2022. This shows why better monitoring equipment and more patrol capacity are needed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n The ships are expected to support monitoring activities in Indonesian waters. One important area mentioned by the ministry is the North Natuna Sea, which is part of Indonesia’s waters in the South China Sea.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spain and Indonesia Can Work Together<\/strong><\/p>\n <\/p>\n The proposed project shows that cooperation between Indonesia and Spain can go beyond trade and tourism. The maritime sector can also become an area where both countries work together.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n Spain would have an opportunity to participate in a shipbuilding project, while Indonesia could gain additional technology, experience, and local production opportunities.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n However, it is important to remember that the project was still under negotiation when the report was published. The final details, including financing and implementation, had not yet been completed.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n If the plan moves forward, building 10 surveillance ships could become a meaningful project for Indonesia’s maritime sector. It could support the country’s efforts to protect marine resources while also creating new opportunities for local shipyards and strengthening Indonesia-Spain economic cooperation.<\/p>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" Saturday, 12 September 2026 Indonesia and Spain are discussing a possible cooperation project to build 10 surveillance ships.
