Introduction to Korea Coast Guard Instructors at the UNODC VBSS Training Facility in Batam

Korea Coast Guard (KCG) instructors are actively engaged in delivering specialized training at the UNODC (United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime) Visit, Board, Search, and Seizure (VBSS) Training Facility in Batam, Indonesia.

These KCG instructors bring extensive expertise in maritime law enforcement, counter-piracy, anti-smuggling, and vessel boarding operations. At the Batam facility, they provide hands-on training to regional coast guard and maritime law enforcement officers, focusing on advanced boarding tactics, search procedures, suspect handling, weapons safety, and legal frameworks under both national and international maritime law.

The collaboration between the Korea Coast Guard and UNODC reflects a shared commitment to enhancing maritime security capacity in Southeast Asia. By sharing their operational experience and best practices, KCG instructors help strengthen the skills and readiness of partner agencies, contributing to safer and more secure seas in the region.

Through this training mission, the Korea Coast Guard plays a vital role in global maritime cooperation, supporting UNODC’s efforts to combat transnational maritime crime and promote rule of law at sea.
