Ocean Centres Indonesia
Ocean Centres Indonesia highlights two priority sectors: Shipping & Ports, and Fishing & Aquaculture. They were prioritised because they are central to Indonesia's ocean economy and face persistent safety challenges. Shipping & Ports support national mobility, logistics, trade, and inter-island connectivity, while Fishing & Aquaculture sustain coastal livelihoods, food resilience, exports, and small- and medium-scale operators. Ocean Renewable Energy and Finance & Investment remain important areas of analysis, positioned as emerging and enabling themes that support the wider safety agenda across Indonesia's ocean economy.

Three things you need to know about Ocean Centres Indonesia
Indonesia's archipelagic geography, diverse vessels, uneven infrastructure, limited capacity, and many small- and medium-scale operators require international safety standards to be adapted to local realities.
The 8 Ocean Centres Indonesia Matrix translates stakeholder engagement into eight strategic priorities, including evidence-based research; governance; supervision and evaluation; OSH and safety culture; capacity building; infrastructure; protection of seafarers and fishers; and digitalisation and safety technology.
Stronger data, reporting, inspection, and supervision are needed to turn these priorities into prevention, learning, and better policy.
The key achievements, the full set of safety challenges and recommendations, and the workshop-by-workshop evidence are in the Ocean Centres Indonesia report (PDF).
