PRESENTATION OUTLINE

Coastal Shipping in ASEAN ➔ Geographical Characteristics of Southeast Asia ➔ Challenges of connecting the region Coastal Shipping Development Strategies ➔ The Philippines' RO-RO Network ➔ ASEAN Single Shipping Market (ASSM) ➔ JICA’s RO-RO Short Sea Shipping (SSS) Network

Geographical Characteristics:

• Thousands of scattered, small, and isolated

islands (Indonesia – 17,000; The Philippines – 7,000)

• Difficult access to local & regional markets
• High transport costs

Challenges to Coastal Shipping:

• Connecting archipelago region
• Need to link the various sub-regions

(GMS, IMT-GT & BIMP-EAGA)

CHARACTERISTICS OF COASTAL SHIPPING

CONNECTING ASEAN SUB-REGIONS

Northern Sub-region:

➢ Great Mekong sub-region (GMS)

comprising Cambodia, Lao PDR, Myanmar, Thailand, Vietnam, & Yunan, China Southern Sub-region:

➢ The Indonesia, Malaysia & Thailand -Growth

Triangle (IMT-GT) Eastern Sub-region:

➢ Brunei, Indonesia, Malaysia & the

Philippines-East Growth Area (BIMP-EAGA)

ASEAN COASTAL SHIPPING STRATEGIES

USAID, The Asia Foundation & The REID Study (2009)

➢ To improve air, land & sea connectivity within the Philippines ➢ Expanding her RO-RO network to Southeast Asia

The Master Plan on ASEAN Connectivity (2010)

➢ To develop ASEAN Single Shipping Market by 2015

JICA Study in ASEAN (2013)

➢ To connect ASEAN by RO-RO Short Sea Shipping Network

THE PHILIPPINES RO-RO NETWORK

6

• Linking the island economies of the Philippines
• A Policy shift away from containerised shipping

EXPANDING THE PHILIPPINES' RO-RO NETWORK TO SOUTHEAST ASIA

• Expanding RO-RO Shipping route from

Davao – General Santos (Philippines) to Bitung (Indonesia)

USAID, The Asia Foundation & The REID Study

ASEAN SINGLE SHIPPING MARKET (ASSM) NETWORK

8

ASEAN SINGLE SHIPPING MARKET (ASSM)

Benefits:

• Free movement of goods, services,

investment, capital & skilled labour

• An integrated & competitive maritime

transport

• Strategies towards the integration of

ASEAN Single Shipping Market

• Further liberalise shipping services in

the region

9

Challenges:

• ASEAN ship-owners to engage in the

domestic shipping within each other’s territory

• Cabotage policies of nations within ASEAN

pose challenges to ASSM

• Need for ASEAN states opening up

domestic shipping similar to those in the early days of EU

• Need of an ASEAN cabotage agreement

ASEAN RO – RO SHORT SEA SHIPPING NETWORK

Priority Shipping Routes:

➢ Dumai (Indonesia) – Malacca

(Malaysia)

➢ Belawan (Indonesia) –

Penang (Malaysia) - Phuket (Thailand)

➢ The General Santos

(Philippines) – Bitung (Indonesia)
