  • Trilateral Cooperation Arrangement As the Indonesian Defense Strategy to Counter Asymmetric Threats in Southeast Asia
    TRILATERAL COOPERATION ARRANGEMENT AS THE INDONESIAN DEFENSE STRATEGY TO COUNTER ASYMMETRIC THREATS IN SOUTHEAST ASIA Luh Putu Ika Primayanti1, Dr. Tri Legionosuko2, Dr. Surryanto Djoko Waluyo3 Asymmetric Warfare Study Program, Faculty Of Defense Strategy, Indonesia Defense University ([email protected]) Abstract – The development of the strategic environment has an impact on the rapid development of asymmetrical threats. The Southeast Asian region is one that faces this threat. Indonesia, as one of the countries in the Southeast Asian Region, has conducted a Trilateral Cooperation Arrangement to prevent the asymmetrical threat, especially in the Sulu Sea. This study aims to analyze the Trilateral Cooperation Arrangement strategy as Indonesia's defense strategy in overcoming asymmetrical threats in the Southeast Asian Region. The research method used is a qualitative research method with a phenomenological approach. This study uses the theory of defense science, the concept of strategy, counter terrorism, asymmetric warfare, defense cooperation, cooperative security, and deterrence theory. The results of this study can be divided into three namely, first, the asymmetrical threat that occurs in Southeast Asia, especially the Sulu Sea continues to grow and specifically divided into terrorism; transnational crime namely armed piracy and kidnapping for ransom; and illegal migration. Second, in its implementation, the Trilateral Cooperation Arrangement (TCA) in the Sulu Sea consists of Coordinated Sea Patrol, Air Patrol, Information and Intelligent Sharing and Land Exercise. The four patrols are strategic cooperation which constitutes a unity so that they cannot be separated in parts or functions. However, in its implementation, there are opportunities and challenges that need to be a concern of both policy makers or operational parties.

  • Piracy Report June 2016 ______
    Piracy Report Independent Global Incident Analysis PIRACY REPORT JUNE 2016 _____________________________________________________ Piracy and Acts of Armed Robbery of Ships For Monthly Reports Please contact Lydelle Joubert [email protected] Copyright © 2016 L. Joubert 1 Analysis The 2016 heat map indicates four areas with a high 2015 concentration of piracy and robbery incidents. Incidents These areas are the coast of Bayelsa, Nigeria; the Strait of Malacca; Kandla Port and Anchorages in India; and the Bay of Bengal, Bangladesh. Eight incidents were reported since January 2016 at Kandla Port and Anchorages which can all be described as petty theft. No incidents were reported at Kandla in June 2016. In Bangladesh the more serious incidents are linked to fishing boats. In spite of the surrendering of members of the Master Bahini Group in Bangladesh in late May 2016 four separate incidents of kidnapping were reported in the Sundarbans, Bangladesh in June 2016. Several groups involved in kidnapping remain in this area. Incidents of piracy and robbery of vessels in 2016 Southeast Asia are lower in 2016 compared to Incidents 2014 and 2015. A tug towing a barge was hijacked off Mukah, Sarawak, Malaysia. 3 000 litres of crude palm kernel oil (CPKO) were transferred to another barge. In June 2016 seven crew members were kidnapped of a Indonesian flagged coal barge in the Sulu Sea, Philippines. Kidnappings by Abu Sayyaf (ASG) in the Sulu Sea are negatively impacting coal trade between Indonesia and the Philippines. The Philippine government placed a ban on coal exports to the Philippines until the country can ensure security in this area.

Since the early 2000s, piratical activities have attracted both regional and global attention and various responses. Several regions have turned into hotbeds of piracy—in particular, the Gulf of Aden, the Malacca Strait, New Guinea, and the Sulu Sea. Vessels operating or transiting through the Sulu and Sulawesi region have always been vulnerable to pirate attacks. Recent incidents, especially in 2016, have resulted in significant casualties, including people, cargo, ships, and other related materials. Approximately 20 offshore attacks occurred in 2016, and more than 50 foreigners have been kidnapped by pirates in the second half of 2016.1 Countries in the region still

  • Assessing Contemporary Maritime Piracy in Southeast Asia: Trends, Hotspots and Responses
    PRIF Report No. 125 Assessing Contemporary Maritime Piracy in Southeast Asia: Trends, Hotspots and Responses Carolin Liss the © Peace Research Institute Frankfurt (PRIF) 2014 Correspondence to: PRIF (HSFK) Baseler Straße 27-31 60329 Frankfurt am Main Germany Telephone: +49(0)69 95 91 04-0 Fax: +49(0)69 55 84 81 E-mail: [email protected] Internet: www.prif.org ISBN: 978-3-942532-69-3 Euro 10,– Summary On the evening of 4 July 2014, the Honduras-registered oil tanker Moresby 9 was attacked by nine pirates, approximately 34 nautical miles off Indonesia’s Anambas islands. The pirates forced the chief officer to navigate the vessel, while the rest of the crew was tied up and locked into the engine control room. The Moresby 9 was then sailed to an unknown location, where part of the cargo of marine gas oil was transferred to a second tanker. After the transfer, the pirates left the ship and the shipowner was able to re-establish contact with his vessel. This was the second attack on the Moresby 9 in two years, and the seventh hijacking of a tanker in Southeast Asia since April 2014 (ReCAAP 2014: n.p.). Indeed, the number of reported attacks on tankers and other ships in Southeast Asia is on the rise, with data from the International Maritime Bureau (IMB) showing that Southeast Asia was the most pirate-prone region in 2013. The publication of the 2013 IMB statistics and the attacks on tankers put piracy in Southeast Asia back in the news – ten years after the last piracy boom in Southeast Asia.
