  • 13. the Maritime Safety Agency (MSA) / Japan Coast Guard (JCG)
    13. The Maritime Safety Agency (MSA) / Japan Coast Guard (JCG) The Maritime Safety Agency (MSA), which was officially renamed the Japan Coast Guard (JCG) in April 2000, is effectively a fourth branch of the Japanese military. Originally established as the Maritime Safety Board in April 1948, it has been reorganised many times since then, and its roles and missions have expanded to include not only guarding Japan’s enormous coastline and providing search and rescue services, but also constabulary operations in the sea lanes and high seas.1 In May 1998, two MSA vessels were sent to Singapore ready to evacuate Japanese residents from Indonesia, where the political situation was ‘unstable’ and ‘unpredictable’.2 Since 1996, the MSA/JCG has been increasingly involved in protecting the Senkaku Islands and policing other disputed areas in the East China Sea.3 JCG patrol boats sank a suspected North Korean ‘spy ship’ near Amami–Oshima Island in December 2001.4 It is the primary Japanese agency in the US-led Proliferation Security Initiative (PSI), which involves the interdiction of ships on the high seas suspected of carrying weapons of mass destruction or related materials.5 In September 2003 the JSG represented Japan in the PSI exercise in the Coral Sea off the north-east coast of Australia.6 In January 2008, armed JCG officers accompanied Japanese whaling ships being confronted by protest boats in the Southern Ocean near Antarctica.7 Although part of the Ministry of Transportation, in reality the MSA functions as a quasi-autonomous and capable maritime defence force, with its own ships and aircraft.

  • Smart Border Management: Indian Coastal and Maritime Security
    Contents Foreword p2/ Preface p3/ Overview p4/ Current initiatives p12/ Challenges and way forward p25/ International examples p28/Sources p32/ Glossary p36/ FICCI Security Department p38 Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security September 2017 www.pwc.in Dr Sanjaya Baru Secretary General Foreword 1 FICCI India’s long coastline presents a variety of security challenges including illegal landing of arms and explosives at isolated spots on the coast, infiltration/ex-filtration of anti-national elements, use of the sea and off shore islands for criminal activities, and smuggling of consumer and intermediate goods through sea routes. Absence of physical barriers on the coast and presence of vital industrial and defence installations near the coast also enhance the vulnerability of the coasts to illegal cross-border activities. In addition, the Indian Ocean Region is of strategic importance to India’s security. A substantial part of India’s external trade and energy supplies pass through this region. The security of India’s island territories, in particular, the Andaman and Nicobar Islands, remains an important priority. Drug trafficking, sea-piracy and other clandestine activities such as gun running are emerging as new challenges to security management in the Indian Ocean region. FICCI believes that industry has the technological capability to implement border management solutions. The government could consider exploring integrated solutions provided by industry for strengthening coastal security of the country. The FICCI-PwC report on ‘Smart border management: Indian coastal and maritime security’ highlights the initiatives being taken by the Central and state governments to strengthen coastal security measures in the country.

  • The China Coast Guard: Shifting from Civilian to Military Control in the Era
    FEATURE The China Coast Guard Shifting from Civilian to Military Control in the Era of Regional Uncertainty ULISES GRANADOS Abstract As part of the restructuring of state organizations announced in March 2018, it is known that the China Coast Guard (CCG), previously controlled by the State Oceanic Administration, is coming under the administration of the People’s Armed Police (PAP) from the Central Military Commission (CMC). As a para- digmatic shift from a joint civilian–military control (State Council–CMC) to a purely military one, the reorganization of the CCG, only five years from the latest reshuffling, seems to reveal an the party’s increasing control over the military as outlined in the September 2017 CCP Central Committee and also the intention by the Chinese central government to provide the CCG with more flexibility and authority to act decisively in disputed waters in the East and South China Seas if needed. This article inquiries into the causes, logic, and likely regional conse- quences of such a decision. Amid the upgrading of insular features in the Spratlys, the deployment of bombers in the Paracels, and overall modernization of China’s naval capabilities, the article also explores plausible developments in which the PAP- led CCG, irregular maritime militias, and People’s Liberation Army Navy forces might coordinate more effectively efforts to safeguard self-proclaimed rights in littoral and blue- water areas in dispute. Introduction During the last eight years, East China Sea (ECS) and South China Sea (SCS) waters have been the setting of increased Chinese civil and naval activity that have altered the balance of power among Northeast Asian and Southeast Asian states, trying to cope with a more robust projection of Chinese maritime power.

Focusing on the activities of the U.S. Coast Guard and the U.S. Navy, the article covers law enforcement for piracy and human trafficking, law enforcement for maritime ter- rorism and weapon trafficking, enforcement against illegal extraction of living marine resources, enforcement to protect the marine environment from pollution, enforce- ment to prevent accidents at sea, customs and illegal immigration enforcement, and drug trafficking enforcement. The article notes that the U.S. approach to maritime enforcement has been a “long-arm” approach ensuring enforcement of U.S. interests spanning oceanic regions. Keywords maritime enforcement – U.S. Coast Guard – piracy – weapon trafficking – prolifera- tion security initiative – marine resource protection – drug trafficking enforcement 1 Introduction Maritime law enforcement is an essential part of national security policy for the United States. In the United States, maritime law enforcement addresses a spectrum of ocean-based threats ranging from terrorism, weapon trafficking, piracy, drug smuggling, trafficking in persons, illegal fishing, and vessel-related crimes. For certain types of national security threats, the United States asserts extraterritorial enforcement powers leading to foreign arrests and seizures of property. © koninklijke brill nv, leiden, 2018 | doi:10.1163/22134484-12340112Downloaded from Brill.com09/29/2021 07:26:07AM via free access 200 Telesetsky This State practice summary offers a brief description of the primary U.S.

  • Suppression of Modern Piracy and the Role of the Navy
    Suppression of Modern Piracy and the Role of the Navy TAKAI Susumu Introduction In recent years there have been several cases of vessel or cargo robbery that threaten the safe and stable use of sea lanes and marine transportation routes indispensable to maintaining the livelihood of the Japanese people. These incidents are commonly referred to as acts of “modern pirates1” who are quite different from the pirates of the past. Hitherto, piracy attacks occurred on the high seas. Today, the seas where pirate attacks occur are territorial waters or exclusive economic zones of coastal states, particularly in the vicinity of the Strait of Malacca. The Strait of Malacca is an 800-kilometer-long waterway with abundant coral reefs and shoals. The strait is extremely narrow - only 400 meters in some parts. It is connected to the South China Sea through the Philip Channel and the Singapore Strait. Neither of these two straits are on the high seas; the borders of territorial seas are delimitated in their centers. Coastal states near the Straits have established separated traffic routes. Vessels of coastal states and maritime industrial countries2 navigate the traffic routes without haste. Coastal states are responsible for exercising control over criminal acts that occur within their territorial seas, while flag states are responsible for controlling criminal acts committed on high seas. The coastal states in the region, however, do not have sufficient power to exercise this responsibility. Similarly, in the case of ships navigating under flags of convenience, the flag states may also not possess sufficient power. Furthermore, maritime states do not exercise jurisdiction over marine crimes committed in territorial seas of other nations.
