Minister Trenggono Receives Honorary Brevet From The Indonesian Navy, KSAL Yudo: KKP Contributes Greatly To Hydro-oceanography

JAKARTA - KSAL Admiral TNI Yudo Margono assessed that the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) made a major contribution to developing the hydro-oceanography sector through the realization of cooperation, both nationally and internationally.

KSAL Yudo directly attached the Hydro-oceanographic Honorary Brevet of the Navy to the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Sakti Wahyu Trenggono at the KRI Rigel-933 Pavilion, North Jakarta, Thursday, June 16 yesterday.

"This is a form of appreciation for the support and role of the Indonesian Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in advancing and developing Pushidrosal (Navy Hydro-oceanography Center) and contributing greatly in realizing cooperation in the field of hydro-oceanography nationally and internationally," said Yudo in a statement received in Jakarta, Friday, June 17, quoted from Antara.

The installation of the honorary brevet was also witnessed by the Commander of the Pushidrosal TNI Nurhidayat, as the Chief Hydrographer of Indonesia. Yudo assessed that KKP had contributed greatly to Pushidrosal in close and harmonious cooperation in the maritime sector, especially in marine spatial planning.

One of the marine spatial arrangements is the arrangement and installation of submarine cables and pipes according to the corridor, as stipulated in the Ministerial Decree (Kepmen) of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Number 14 of 2021 concerning Pipelines and/or Underwater Cables.

In addition, there is also a collaboration between the two institutions covering marine data to coastal area development, with the aim of preserving the marine ecosystem.

Pushidrosal, as the national team in the arrangement of submarine pipes and cables, supports the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Decree Number 14 of 2021, and also helps KKP in conservation zone areas by including the zone in the Indonesian marine map. Pushidrosal also supports by sharing a portal with the KKP.

The embedding of the brevet took place at the KRI Rigel-933 Pavilion at the Military Seaborne Command Pier (Kolinlamil), before the KRI departed to run the Jala Citra 2 "Banda" Expedition.

By attaching the honorary brevet, Yudo officially established Sakti Wahyu Trenggono as an honorary citizen of the hydrographic community.

Yudo hopes that Sakti Wahyu Trenggono will provide inspiration in increasing motivation and professionalism in the field with all Pushidrosal personnel, as the Main Command (Kotama) for Development and Operations within the Indonesian Navy and hydrographic development at the national level.
