Indonesia was reelected as a member of the Category C IMO Council for the 2020-2021 period. Moreover, the Supreme Audit Agency (BPK) was selected as an external auditor for the 2020-2023 period for the special body under the United Nations.
Indonesia’s membership on the council of the International Maritime Organization (IMO) provides an opportunity to improve our maritime security and the quality of our marine products.Indonesia was inducted last week as a Category C member of the IMO council for 2019-2020. Category C comprises 20 countries with “special interests in maritime transport or navigation” whose inclusion “will ensure the representation of all major geographic areas of the world”.
An important element of IMO membership is evident in the council’s duties. The council determines the policy direction and drafts international maritime laws that will affect national interests. The IMO’s main duties are to establish and maintain the sea transportation regulatory framework, including security, environmental protection, laws, technical cooperation, shipping safety and efficiency and industries.
