CHARACTERISTICS OF SHIPPING BUSINESS

Shipping business has three main characteristics i.g. : capital intensive/large investment, high risks and long payback/slow back investment.. But why the shipping business interesting ? because shipping business is a unique business , challenging and promosing big profit.

Say unique because in every operational activity will never face the same things and ways of handling the same, both in the field of operational activities, movement of the vessel, handling repairs and maintenance, crewing/manning, claim insurance, security and safety issues, even the administrative problems and others.

Say challenging because of the various cases or problems encountered, need expertise, professionalism, and certain tricks in handling.

 Other challenging to be faced is the safety and security requirements that must fulfilled in accordance with the provisions of  IMO ( International Maritime Organization) such as the ISM Code and ISPS Code and Class requirements.


To fulfill requirements, need big fund , especially for maintenance, repair and certification. On the other side,the price of one unit of the vessel is not cheap and generally vessel procurement investments can not be implemented with its own capital  but should be with the assistance or finance support from both the financial institutions from banks or non banks that would be burdened with interest , so the investment vesel as the main production of the shipping companies have becomes very expensive being Return Of  Investment (ROI) for along time. But behind it all the shipping company that promises big profits. Here's the interesting.-

Before the declaration Djuanda, the Republic of Indonesia refers to the Dutch East Indies Ordinance 1939, which Teritoriale Zeeën en Maritieme Kringen Ordinance 1939 (TZMKO 1939). In the Dutch East Indies era regulations, the islands in the archipelago are separated by the sea all around and each island has only around the sea as far as 3 miles from the coastline. This means that foreign ships could freely sail the sea separating the islands.

After going through the penjang struggle, this declaration in 1982 finally be accepted and established in the law of the sea convention UN-III Year 1982 (United Nations Convention On The Law of The Sea / UNCLOS 1982). Later this delarasi reaffirmed by Law Number 17 Year 1985 on the ratification of UNCLOS in 1982 that Indonesia is an archipelago.
