Indonesia dan Singapura telah menyepakati dua buah perjanjian penetapan garis batas laut teritorial di Selat Singapura, masing-masing disepakati pada tahun 1973 dan 2009. Proses delimitasi dalam kedua perjanjian tersebut dilakukan dengan merujuk pada ketentuan Pasal 15 United Nations Convention on the Law of the Sea 1982 dan menggunakan metode delimitasi garis median termodifikasi. Kedua perjanjian tersebut memberikan kepastian mengenai wilayah laut territorial Indonesia dan Singapura di mana kedua negara memiliki kedaulatan. Adanya kepastian hukum mengenai laut teritorial Indonesia di Selat Singapura berujung pada munculnya implikasi-implikasi dalam aspek keamanan dan keselamatan Indonesia sebagai negara pantai, keamanan dan keselamatan pelayaran di Selat Singapura, dan lingkungan laut.
