With these conditions, developments and challenges in the maritime aspect, Indonesia has outlined a policy on the vision of the World Maritime Axis. This vision is a consequence of being a maritime nation with an area that is mostly ocean, as is the policy of Alfred Thayer Mahan (A. T. Mahan).

Mahan so that it can be seen the relevance of this strategy to the development of President Joko Widodo's World Maritime Axis (WMA) Vision.
