This factor creates opportunities for companies to increase their competitiveness in the global market by offering more competitive prices.
The shipping industry is not only a means of trade, but also plays an important role in improving living standards globally.

ICS statistics, which show that maritime transport is responsible for the transport of around 90 percent of world trade commodities, provide clear insight into the strong support that a maritime transport foundation will provide for Indonesia’s maritime transformation.
With more than 150 countries having cargo ship fleets, Indonesia can rely on international cooperation to improve connectivity and efficiency of its maritime sector.
The relevance of sustainable cargo ship operations, involving more than one million human resources from almost every country, becomes apparent in the context of maritime transformation in Indonesia.
This opens up opportunities for the exchange of knowledge, technology and best practices, which can be applied to increase competitiveness and innovation in Indonesia’s maritime sector.
