The agreement came between the Directorate General of Customs and Excise (DJBC) Indonesia and the Singapore Police Coast Guard (SPCG) in a meeting of the Rendezres at Sea in the Singapore Strait on Wednesday, September 28.

"Rendezcing at Sea in 2022 is one of the long series of collaboration achievements between DJBC and SPCG, starting from the signing of the memorandum of understanding in 2020, Rendezress at Sea first in 2021, signing SOP cooperation on coordinated border patrols in 2022, until now reaching the second Rendezres at Sea in September 2022," said Batam Customs Enforcement and Investigation Division Head Sisprian Subiaksono in a written statement, Thursday, September 29.

Sisprian explained, Rendez nervous at Sea is a meeting that runs at sea. Followed by agencies that discuss the implementation and scope of cooperation and then regulated in a memorandum of understanding.

He said the maritime border areas between Indonesia and Singapore needed stricter supervision because they became one of the international trade routes.
