Indonesia is known as the largest maritime country in the world. This is reflected in the geographical conditions, where the majority or 62% consists of water. Not surprisingly, Indonesia also has a more diverse marine biodiversity compared to other countries.

Indonesia’s marine biodiversity and various beautiful seabed topography are of course directly proportional to maritime natural resources that hold great potential for economic value that can be utilized by all Indonesian people.

“The role of the marine sector is very large, which can be a source of income. Indonesia’s marine economic potential is US$1.34 trillion in 327 coastal regencies/cities,” said the Director of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of Bappenas Sri Yanti in a seminar.

Recently, the government through the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs and Investment (Kemenko Marves) has targeted the economic contribution of the maritime sector to Gross Domestic Product (GDP) in 2045.

“‘With the maritime axis program, it is targeted that the role of the maritime economy will be 12.5 percent by 2045,”‘ said Deputy for Infrastructure and Transportation Coordination at the Coordinating Ministry for Maritime Affairs, Ayodhia GL Kaleke in the webinar “‘Port Digitalization Welcomes Indonesia as the Maritime Axis”‘ quoted Friday, August 5, 2022.

If calculated from the government’s targeted GDP in 2045 of US$9,100 billion, then around 12.5% ​​of it is US$1,137 billion which is expected to be contributed by the maritime economic sector in 2045.

PT Humpuss Maritim Internasional (HUMI) is one of the companies engaged in the maritime sector by presenting a number of services or services that are important and useful to support the progress of the maritime industry in the country.

As an integrated maritime services cluster of the Humpuss Group, the business segments currently involved in HUMI ​​include port and ship agency services, offshore dredging to the management and development of human resources (HR) in the maritime sector.

Each of these business segments has a contribution to the advancement of the national maritime industry which has the potential to increase sources of income for the country. For example through the offshore dredging segment.

In 2020, the business segment unit run by HUMI’s subsidiary, PT LIS Internasional (LISI) played a major role in the construction of one of President Joko Widodo’s (Jokowi) National Strategic Projects (PSN) located in the Subang area, West Java, namely Patimban Port.

With the presence of the Patimban Port, it will provide a good multiplier effect on the future economic growth of the maritime sector.

Meanwhile, from the segment of developing quality maritime human resources to support the maritime industry, HUMI ​​has made it happen through the Humpuss Trilogy Maritime Training Center (HTMTC) training and marine center.

Through HTMTC, HUMI ​​has succeeded in producing thousands of reliable maritime human resources which are important assets that must be owned to answer challenges in developing the Indonesian maritime industry.

“‘Through business segments that are run, ranging from port services, oil transportation and petrochemicals to the development of human resources in the maritime sector, HUMI ​​is confident that it will be able to become one of the important contributors to Indonesia’s maritime economic growth in 2045,”‘ said Humi’s President Director Dedy Hudayana.
