Jakarta (VNA) – The Indonesian Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) has participated in a two-day long-distance advanced training on performing maritime security duties with the Japan Coast Guard (JCG).
The training, which started on July 13, saw the attendance of hundreds of participants from various forces under Bakamla. They were provided by experts from the JCG with materials on international maritime law, the UN Convention on the Law of the Sea (UNCLOS) 1982, how to conduct inspections on the target ship, and techniques for arresting suspects on the target ship.
The two sides also exchanged experience in implementing legal action at sea, arresting suspects and rescuing victims.
In a statement released on July 14, Bakamla’s training director Sandy M. Latief said the training was a good opportunity for Bakamla personnel to know and understand the material provided by experts from the Japan Coast Guard Mobile Cooperation Team (MCT).
Senior Representative of the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) in Indonesia Honzu Shigeo said that this online training collaboration had been carried out three times. It aims to improve the capabilities of the current Bakamla personnel, he added./.
