The Montara oil spill in the waters of the Timor Sea in 2009 caused losses to around 15,000 seaweed farmers in East Nusa Tenggara (NTT) and disrupted the marine ecosystem. The Indonesian government in this case adhered to the principle of peaceful dispute resolution and filed a claim and demanded compensation for the impacts caused by the oil spill.

2. State Accountability: IMO provides a framework for state accountability for oil pollution. In the case of montara oil pollution in the Indonesian Sea, Thailand is responsible for montara oil pollution in the Indonesian Sea
3. Research and Experience: IMO provides great benefits in gaining more knowledge and experience in dealing with technical and legal issues related to oil pollution.
4. Oil Spill Response Cooperation: IMO allows countries and the private sector to cooperate in oil spill response. In the case of Montara oil pollution in the Timor Sea, Indonesia collaborated with PT Leadership Indonesia in education and training of human resources or the latest techniques/technology, procedures and international protocols for dealing with oil spills
5.In the case of Montara oil pollution, the benefits of IMO lie in the application of international legal provisions, state accountability, research, experience and cooperation in dealing with oil spills to deal with the problem of Montara oil pollution and protect the marine environment.

The case of the montara oil spill in the waters of the timor sea has a significant international relation, particularly between Indonesia and Australia. The case highlights the urgency of addressing international levels of Marine pollution issues. The impact of the montara oil spill has contaminated some 90,000 square miles [90,000 sq km] of timorese sea and killed more than 100,000 people who farm seaweed and fishermen in the east southeast nusa. Revenues from kelp and fishermen in the timor sea dropped between 50% and 85%, leading to significant social and economic costs. In the completion of the case, Indonesia and Australia continue to undertake numerous diplomatic efforts. In 2018, minister coordinator of field coordinator luhut binsar pandjaitan formed a montara task force of six people. At the end of 2019, the county lawyer foundation appointed an attorney from England to encourage the Australian government to rush to negotiate the case. The case also suggests that Indonesia and Australia's relationship patterns are mutually reinforcing, so both countries strive to maintain a stable relationship. However, the completion of the case also indicates that handling of deep-sea pollution issues at an international level requires close cooperation between countries and international organizations, such as the international maritime organization (imo), to achieve a just and sustainable solution. Thus, the case of the montara oil spill in timor sea waters has broad implications in the context of international relations, cross-country disputes, and global ocean environmental protection.Â
