KKP records non-tax state revenue exceeding Rp50 billion from enforcement actions in 2025
Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) has recorded non-tax state revenue (PNBP) from various enforcement actions against violations in the marine and fisheries sector exceeding Rp50 billion in 2025.
The Director General of Marine Resources and Fisheries Surveillance (PSDKP) at KKP, Pung Nugroho Saksono, stated that the revenue stems from various types of violations, not limited to illegal fishing activities.
“Last year, our PNBP reached over Rp50 billion, going directly to the state,” said Pung in Jakarta on Wednesday.
He added that up to the first quarter of 2026, revenue from enforcement actions has already amounted to around Rp13 billion.
“For this quarter, it’s Rp13 billion,” he said.
According to him, all revenue from enforcement actions is deposited directly into the state treasury, while KKP’s role is solely to conduct the enforcement and process the violations.
“Everything goes to the state. Whether it’s vessels, reclamation, or others. Our task is to apprehend and then process them,” he stated.
Pung explained that this mechanism ensures transparency in managing state revenue from the marine and fisheries sector.
He noted that the determination of fine amounts is carried out through an evaluation process involving various parties, including the Inspectorate General and other relevant agencies.
In addition to contributing to state revenue, the outcomes of enforcement actions are also utilised for national interests through asset optimisation.
He mentioned that seized vessels from illegal fishing perpetrators, once legally finalised, are no longer sunk but instead repurposed.
Pung said that the utilisation of seized vessels includes donating them to local governments, educational institutions, and other entities in need.
“Last year, we utilised nearly 15 (seized vessels). Some were donated to the Banyuwangi Regional Government, some to schools, and some in North Sulawesi,” he revealed.
Furthermore, some seized vessels are used by the ministry to strengthen the maritime surveillance fleet.
He explained that KKP will soon receive four additional seized vessels from the Attorney General’s Office that have been finalised.
According to him, these vessels are foreign ones, consisting of one Runzheng vessel and three from the Philippines, which will subsequently be utilised according to needs.
