THE POSITION OF THE ARCHIPELAGIC SEA LANES IN THE MAKASSAR STRAIT INTERREGIONAL ZONING PLAN POLICY

Abstract

Objective: This study aims to analyze the position of archipelagic sea lanes in the Makassar Strait RZKAW. Theoritical Framework: Archipelagic sea lanes are waters that exist only in island states and are used for ship transport. Island countries that have ratified UNCLOS 1982 are required to implement their archipelagic sea lanes in legislation in order to determine the sea lanes that ships can pass through and flight routes over the sea by determining the axes to be included on maps and reported to the International Maritime Organization, so that they can be used for ships passing through the country's jurisdiction. The RZKAW is used to create plans for the use of marine space in inter-regional areas. Methods: This study uses a qualitative approach and emphasizes more on normative and empirical aspects. Results and Conclusion: The results of the study show that the responsibility of the State of Indonesia in utilizing archipelagic sea lanes with the existence of RZKAW refers to the provisions of previous legislation. RZKAW will provide space for the community to access state assets based on permits granted by the government and synchronized with development. In the future it will become an important water area, due to the high level of space utilization and multisectoral interests. There are different interests in the Makassar Strait, the regulations used for sea space are different. Similarly, agencies that conduct surveillance on marine space are also different. In order to anticipate conflicts of authority and disharmony in marine space regulations at RZKAW, the Maritime Security Agency (Bakamla) can take on the role of coordinator of security and safety patrols at sea. The study recommends integrated supervision in the utilization of archipelagic sea lanes in Indonesia's Makassar Strait. Imlication of the research: If Indonesia's capital city moves to East Kalimantan, the Makassar Strait will become an important water area, with higher space utilization and more multisectoral interests, necessitating effective and efficient supervision of AlKI II
