Abstract A form of private security contractor exists for maritime security called Private Maritime Security Company (PMSC). PMSCs are not abundant in maritime law scholarly discourse. This underappreciation happens despite the importance of PMSC in Malacca Strait that conducts its services in the jurisdiction of the three littoral states of Indonesia, Malaysia, and Singapore.

A recommendation for a legally binding multilateral treaty about PMSC would be a start to increase the legal certainty of PMSC business internationally. At the same time, a domestic regulation in Indonesia that has specific scope in PMSC would allow PMSC business to be better regulated and grown in Indonesia as a legitimate sector.
