What Badan Keamanan Laut Republik Indonesia does

Badan Keamanan Laut Republik Indonesia (Bakamla RI), also known as the Indonesia Coast Guard, is the maritime security agency of the Republic of Indonesia, responsible for conducting safety, security, and law enforcement patrols across Indonesian territorial waters and jurisdictional areas. Founded in 2005 and formalized under Presidential Regulation (Perpres) No. 178 of 2014, the agency operates under the supervision of the Coordinating Minister for Political, Legal, and Security Affairs and is led by Laksdya TNI Dr. Irvansyah as Kepala Bakamla RI. Its mission set spans maritime domain awareness, anti-piracy and anti-trafficking operations, search and rescue, environmental protection, and prevention of illegal fishing and smuggling. The agency serves the Indonesian government and public as its sole principal, without a commercial customer base.

Bakamla RI's operational footprint is organized into three Maritime Zones — Zona Maritim Barat (Batam), Zona Maritim Tengah (Manado), and Zona Maritim Timur (Ambon) — supported by a network of bases (Pangkalan Dermaga), stations (SPKKL), and support offices (GS, Rawamangun, Semarang, Bitung, Bangka Belitung, Karimun, Tarakan, Bali, Kupang, Tual, Kema, Sambas, Aceh, and others) distributed across the archipelago. Technical capabilities include integrated radar and communications for Maritime Domain Awareness (MDA), Unmanned Aircraft Systems (UAS) for Intelligence, Surveillance, and Reconnaissance (ISR) developed with U.S. State Department (INL) funding, the SMASH 30 MM Naval Gun System (from Aselsan-Turkey) for patrol vessel self-defense, and integration of BMKG meteorological and wave-height data. Digital platforms include the Indonesia Maritime Information Center (IMIC), the Whistleblowing System (WBS), SP4N Lapor public complaint integration, PPID public information disclosure, LPSE electronic procurement, and CSIRT cybersecurity incident response.

The agency is funded entirely through the Indonesian state budget (APBN) and operates without a commercial revenue model, pricing structure, or external investors. Its GTM posture is institutional: Bakamla RI expands capacity through strategic MoUs with regional partners (Indian Coast Guard, Singapore Police Coast Guard, Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency, Philippine Coast Guard, Japan Coast Guard/JICA), multilateral engagement with UNODC, and inter-agency coordination with the Indonesian National Armed Forces (TNI). The National Maritime Security Index rose from 53 (2022) to 59 (2024), reflecting measurable improvements in operational performance over the period.
