Abstract

The increasing demand for and investment in energy production from offshore oil and gas sources in Southeast Asian countries, including Indonesia, has increased the risk of offshore oil spills. This study aimed to describe offshore oil spill response to achieve maritime security in Indonesia. This research is qualitative with findings without going through statistical testing and collecting data sources through library research. Data were analyzed through data condensation, data display, and conclusion drawing and verifying. Environmental, maritime security, mainly from pollution, is classified as the closest part to the marine safety dimension, which aims to protect the marine environment and the blue economy-related to aquatic resources. Oil spills can cause substantial economic losses and endanger ecological systems and community health. The shortcomings in handling the 2009 Montara case showed that offshore oil spill response to achieve maritime security in Indonesia is not optimal.
