The Key of Maritime Decisions Making THE KEY OF MARITIME DECISIONS MAKING www.pushidrosal.id “DI LAUT TERSIMPAN HARAPAN, DI LAUT TERSIMPAN KEJAYAAN, JALESVEVA JAYAMAHE” PRESIDENT OF REPUBLIC OF INDONESIA IR. JOKO WIDODO, 2016 INDONESIA JURISDICTION With the very large of Indonesian waters it is the great challenges of Pushidrosal as a national hydrographic institution to provide accurate and up- to-date marine spatial data that contains hydrographic information that is not only to support navigation and shipping, but also to the potential greater support for national maritime policies and greater benefits for the nation and state. “Hydrography is much more than just nautical charts, it is a Principal key of economic gate and the spearhead of national maritime defence” (Rear Admiral Dr. Harjo Susmoro) PREFACE In the development of the maritime sector in national, regional or international level, the role of hydrographic institutions is a must. As it has been stated by international hydrographic community that without hydrography, there is no ship sails safely, no port is built, no coastal infrastructure is developed, no marine environmental plan is implemented, no coast or island is defended, no marine rescue is attempted, no inundation model is developed, no maritime boundary is delimited or enforced. Historically, Pushidrosal as a hydrographic service that have passed so many decades and mature has a very important role in the development of the maritime sector in Indonesia with its essential contribution to the safety of shipping, defence, and diplomacy especially REAR ADMIRAL on establishing national maritime boundaries and Dr. Harjo Susmoro delimitation with the other neighbouring countries. But with the all-digital era and fast-paced demand and CHIEF HYDROGRAFER the need for electronic charts continues to grow at this time, hydrographic products and services must be available quickly in digital form and can be developed into derivative products according to their interests. Therefore, Pushidrosal continuously develop and enhance its capacity in the domain of hydrographic survey, nautical charting and maritime safety information to have a good quality and well-managed hydrographic data that is available and can be easily accessed by multi- users. With the very large of Indonesian waters it is the great challenges of Pushidrosal as a national hydrographic institution to provide accurate and up-to-date marine spatial data that contains hydrographic information that is not only to support navigation and shipping, but also to the potential greater support for national maritime policies and greater benefits for the nation and state. In other simple words, we can say that hydrography is much more than just nautical chart, hydrography is the key of economic gate and the spearhead on national maritime defence.

    Advancements and the Future Outlook of Charting the Nigerian Navigation Channel Chukwuemeka C. Onyebuchi1, Franklin E. Onyeagoro2 and Peter O. Aimah3 1Polaris Integrated and Geosolutions Limited, [email protected] 2Federal University of Technology Owerri, [email protected] 3Polaris Integrated and Geosolutions Limited, [email protected] ABSTRACT The need for achieving safe waterways for navigation, engineering, exploration, security and other marine operations cannot be overemphasized and should be attained using precise methods and equipment. The Hydrographic process still remains the only systematic means through which spatial information about our marine environment (oceans, seas, rivers etc.) are acquired for charting purposes so as to aid analysis and decision making. In Nigeria today, most marine operations and mostly the Nigerian Navy is dependent on the Hydrographic process for smooth operations required for security, trading, engineering etc. therefore maintaining the integrity of the hydrographic process is of uttermost importance. To maintain the integrity of the hydrographic process used for charting our navigational channels, the progressive evolution of this process shall be assessed: from the earliest methods that directly sounded navigational channels using weighted lead lines and graduated poles to provide water depths to Wire Drag methods used to identify physical features on the marine environment, then to the 1930s when acoustic waves were applied in the Echo Sounder to indirectly ascertain seabed profile, and the use of instruments like Multi Beam Echo Sounders, Magnetometer, Side Scan Sonar, etc. for detailed Bathymetric and Geophysical Survey Projects, and presently to the use of Remotely Operated Vehicles (ROV) and satellites in space to monitor sea level rise.

  • Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours
    Challenge Your Adrenaline by Taking One of These Volcano Indonesia Tours As an archipelago, Indonesia lays on the meeting of several tectonic plates. Geologically, it is the reason why Indonesia has many volcanoes stretched from the West to the East. Though it sounds worrying to remember how dangerous a volcano can be, the area can be the perfect place to explore instead. Volcanoes are known for its fertile land and scenic view. Apparently, volcano Indonesia tour can be found across the country and below are six of the best destinations. 1. Mount Rinjani, Lombok Lombok Island on the Eastern Indonesia has the magnificent Mount Rinjani and its craters. This active volcano has three craters from its past eruption called the Kelimutu Lake. Mount Rinjani is the second highest volcano in Indonesia after Mount Kerinci in Sumatera. The lake has a magical view because each crater has different colors throughout the day. From afar, each of the craters would be seen to have green, blue, and red color. The local people have their own legend of the color of the craters. However, the color change might potentially be the result of the change in oxidation and reduction of the fluid in the craters. It may take around two days and one night to climb the mountain seriously and professionally. However, there are Indonesia tour packages that will offer an easier hiking option for beginners. 2. Mount Batur, Bali Mount Batur in Bali might be the easiest volcano to climb in the Indonesia tour list. In just less than three hours, you can get to the top of this active volcano.

  • Chapter 5 Water Levels and Flow
    253 CHAPTER 5 WATER LEVELS AND FLOW 1. INTRODUCTION The purpose of this chapter is to provide the hydrographer and technical reader the fundamental information required to understand and apply water levels, derived water level products and datums, and water currents to carry out field operations in support of hydrographic surveying and mapping activities. The hydrographer is concerned not only with the elevation of the sea surface, which is affected significantly by tides, but also with the elevation of lake and river surfaces, where tidal phenomena may have little effect. The term ‘tide’ is traditionally accepted and widely used by hydrographers in connection with the instrumentation used to measure the elevation of the water surface, though the term ‘water level’ would be more technically correct. The term ‘current’ similarly is accepted in many areas in connection with tidal currents; however water currents are greatly affected by much more than the tide producing forces. The term ‘flow’ is often used instead of currents. Tidal forces play such a significant role in completing most hydrographic surveys that tide producing forces and fundamental tidal variations are only described in general with appropriate technical references in this chapter. It is important for the hydrographer to understand why tide, water level and water current characteristics vary both over time and spatially so that they are taken fully into account for survey planning and operations which will lead to successful production of accurate surveys and charts. Because procedures and approaches to measuring and applying water levels, tides and currents vary depending upon the country, this chapter covers general principles using documented examples as appropriate for illustration.

  • Depth Measuring Techniques
    EM 1110-2-1003 1 Jan 02 Chapter 9 Single Beam Acoustic Depth Measurement Techniques 9-1. General Scope and Applications Single beam acoustic depth sounding is by far the most widely used depth measurement technique in USACE for surveying river and harbor navigation projects. Acoustic depth sounding was first used in the Corps back in the 1930s but did not replace reliance on lead line depth measurement until the 1950s or 1960s. A variety of acoustic depth systems are used throughout the Corps, depending on project conditions and depths. These include single beam transducer systems, multiple transducer channel sweep systems, and multibeam sweep systems. Although multibeam systems are increasingly being used for surveys of deep-draft projects, single beam systems are still used by the vast majority of districts. This chapter covers the principles of acoustic depth measurement for traditional vertically mounted, single beam systems. Many of these principles are also applicable to multiple transducer sweep systems and multibeam systems. This chapter especially focuses on the critical calibrations required to maintain quality control in single beam echo sounding equipment. These criteria are summarized in Table 9-6 at the end of this chapter. 9-2.

  • Report on the AIIA Vic Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019
    Report on the AIIA Vic Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019 Networking Reception in Yogyakarta Report - AIIA Study Tour to Indonesia June 2019 Dear Reader, We arrived in Indonesia with open minds. We came from all States in Australia, except South Australia. We were a very eclectic group of Australians with many different backgrounds, ages and interests. This meant that we saw the same things and heard the same things but through different lenses. This deepened our understanding of Indonesia. The list of all Delegates are appended to this report. We were very well received wherever we went. Our Australian Missions in Indonesia were most helpful. We met with numerous peoples and organisations. These too are listed in this report. Despite taking six internal flights, we saw very little of this very large and diverse country; seeing only Jakarta, Yogyakarta, Makassar and Toraja. And yet, from those visits, we gleaned so much about this most wonderful country. We were fortunate in having briefing materials prior to our departure. The headings of these are appended to this report. We came away from Indonesia optimistic about its future; marvelling at the opportunities it has and the challenges it faces. We nevertheless carry a disappointment in that Australians have a pitiful knowledge about Indonesia. We came away with the understanding that Australians must implement changes to ensure that Indonesia and Australia can only go into the future, hand in hand, if we, in Australia, are determined to inform ourselves better, much better, about our most important neighbour. I hope that this report does something towards achieving that.
