JAKARTA - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has taken firm steps by temporarily stopping the use of marine space activities carried out by two companies in Siak Regency, Riau. The two companies in question are PT. MNS and PT. TFDI.

The action was taken because the two companies were proven to have carried out activities without having valid licensing documents.

Director General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Supervision (PSDKP) of the KKP, Pung Nugroho Saksono (Ipunk), said that the two companies were found to be building facilities on a total sea area of around 6,000 square meters without the required permit.

"We support investments and business activities that provide benefits for the community. However, all activities must be carried out in accordance with applicable regulations. These provisions are to maintain the sustainability of the ecosystem in the midst of the proliferation of sedentary activities in coastal and marine areas," said Ipunk in an official statement, Monday, June 22.

Director of Marine Resources Supervision of the Directorate General of PSDKP Sumono Darwinto who directly led the sealing in the field explained that the two companies built facilities in the sea area of 3,000 square meters without PKKPRL documents.

Regulationally, this temporary suspension action refers to the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation Number 30 of 2021. The government requires every business actor to use marine space to pocket PKKPRL as regulated in Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation Number 28 of 2021 and Government Regulation (PP) Number 28 of 2025 concerning Risk-Based Business Licensing.

Sumono said that although his party had sealed off two locations of PT. MNS and four points owned by PT. TFDI, both companies were cooperative and committed to immediately taking care of licensing obligations in accordance with applicable regulations.

In the future, the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) ensures that it will take action against companies or business actors who are proven to carry out marine space activities without valid licensing documents. This firm step is in accordance with the direction of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono to strengthen the supervision of the use of marine space to realize orderly and sustainable marine space governance.
