今年五月以来，印尼政府已实施新政策，要求对此后装运的镍矿必须符合其许可制度，但印尼作为镍矿的主要装运地，贸易量却因此大幅度降低，主要原因之一是只有小部分生产商和出口商获得了许可来继续镍矿贸易。据悉，尽管印尼政府已经增加了颁发该许可的数量，但大部分的生产商和出口商仍未能获得该资格。
根据SKULD的建议，从遵守印尼法律以及降低货物风险角度出发，在订立租约及运输合同之前，检查欲装货物是否来自持有有效出口许可的生产商是相当必要的，从而保证航行安全及效益。此外，请参阅国际保赔协会集团于今年6月1日的通函，我们在此提醒，在从印尼及菲律宾装运镍矿前，协会会员必须尽到强制通知义务。

Indonesian Nickel Ore – Update
Since May of this year, the Indonesian Government has imposed new regulations that further nickel ore shipments have to fall within the new terms of new licensing regime. However, Indonesia, as one of the main places which the shipments of nickel ore originate, has the significant reduction of nickel ore trading because of such new regulations. One of the main reasons is that there are only a small number of producers and exporters having obtained the licenses to carry on this trade. For the information, despite of the report that the Indonesian Government has increased the numbers of licenses to be issued, yet a significant number of cargo producers and exporters still has no licenses to be obtained.
Subject to the recommendations from SKULD, from the aspects of complying with the Indonesian laws and lowering the cargo risk, before entering into charter and shipment contracts, checking whether the intended cargo comes from the licensed producer who holds the valid export permit is quite necessary for the members to take account in order to engage in a safe and worthwhile voyage. In addition, by reference with the IG Group circular on June 1st, 2012, it is the reminder that the compulsory notification obligation is required by the members before undertaking nickel ore shipment from Indonesia and the Philippines.
