"The five warships and reconnaissance plane have conducted routine patrols in the Natuna waters as part of efforts to reduce the number of fish thefts," Commander of the Main Naval Base A naval base primarily for support of the forces afloat, contiguous to a port or anchorage, consisting of activities or facilities for which the Navy has operating responsibilities, together with interior lines of communications and the minimum surrounding area necessary for local  IV Commodore S.M.

He said the Pontianak naval base s operational area was one of the highly vulnerable waters and therefore, in the future it would become one of the choices to develop a sea defense zone in the western part of the country. "Therefore, the Pontianak naval base is required to be proactive in empowering all its capacities to perform its future duties."

The post of the Pontianak naval base commander was very strategic because the naval base was the backbone of the main naval base IV to safeguard its defense area, he said. Col. Parno, the newly-appointed chief of the Pontianak naval base, said he was ready to protect the West Kalimantan waters against fish thefts and other illegal activities.

"In the near future, I will coordinate with the TNI AL staff in Pontianak to identify problems we have to solve immediately," he said.
