Jakarta (ANTARA) – The Indonesian Navy (TNI AL) has placed its warships on full alert to anticipate sea transport contingencies during the Christmas and New Year holidays, ensuring the safety, security, and smooth functioning of maritime transportation activities.Operations Assistant to the Chief of the Naval Staff Rear Admiral Yayan Sofiyan emphasized that this readiness was implemented under Admiral Muhammad Ali's directive to support sea transport during the year-end holidays.”Our warships are standing by on call at ports where weather conditions potentially lead to maritime accidents,” Sofiyan stated during a press conference following a coordination meeting at Tanjung Priok Port, Jakarta, on Thursday.He explained that vessels are stationed based on weather anomaly information from the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG) to ensure a quick response to emergencies.The Navy has also alerted all regional naval commands, personnel, ambulances, and medical teams at various ports to strengthen the response system.Furthermore, the Navy is collaborating with the Ministry of Transportation, BMKG, the Search and Rescue Agency (Basarnas), National Police, and local governments to bolster preventive measures.Monitoring is being conducted intensively through the Navy’s Command and Control Center to ensure war vessels in vulnerable sectors remain ready.Despite focusing on holiday safety and disaster mitigation, Sofiyan stressed that the Navy maintains strict supervision against illegal activities in strategic waters. Personnel have also been deployed for intelligence-based monitoring at key points.The Transportation Ministry's Director General of Sea Transportation Muhammad Masyhud underscored the importance of this cross-sector synergy, noting that collaboration is essential to fulfill President Prabowo Subianto's instructions for a safe and secure holiday period.”This is to ensure that everything instructed by President Prabowo Subianto can be realized through synergistic collaboration, rather than just working side by side,” Masyhud stated.
