It stands for CUSTOMS, IMMIGRATION, QUARANTINE, AND PORTS, and should be followed in that order at the nearest entry port to your previous country's departure.

There are 22 ports of entry into Indonesia.

Typically, foreign-flagged Vessels are considered either motor-driven boats, yachts, Catamarans, or Superyachts used for the purposes of Tourism.

It's advisable to apply for an online CUSTOMS Vessel declaration (VD) before your arrival. On your arrival customs will inspect your vessel and you then can report to IMMIGRATION.
