Her maritime law journey began with a Master of Laws (LL.M.) in Maritime Law from University College London, followed by her role at a leading Freight, Demurrage and Defence (FD&D) Club headquartered in Oslo, where she was based in the Singapore office. She also completed a Principles of Shipping Operations and Practices Course hosted by the Singapore Shipping Association (SSA). Currently, she is pursuing a Ph.D. in Maritime Law and Policy at the World Maritime University (a specialized agency under the International Maritime Organization, United Nations). This academic pursuit uniquely positions her at the intersection of international maritime governance, academic research, and practical legal strategy.
Over the past 18 years, Fitri has acted as counsel in complex arbitration and litigation cases across Southeast Asia, particularly those involving Indonesian parties, in sectors including energy and construction. She is fluent in English and Bahasa Indonesia and has experience working on Singapore-seated arbitrations and matters with an Indonesian nexus. In the context of maritime law, her focus includes charter party disputes, shipbuilding contracts, marine insurance, and cross-border commercial agreements.
Beyond her dispute resolution practice, she is a passionate advocate for maritime safety and legal governance. She founded Gerakan Ingat Selamat Layar Indonesia (GISLI), an initiative promoting safety awareness and regulatory compliance among Indonesian fisherfolks in collaboration with Indonesian Ministry of Ocean and Fisheries.
Fitri also actively contributes to legal capacity-building through her role as a Private Law Assistant Professor at her alma mater University of Indonesia. She is also actively involved in the region through teaching, writing, and speaking engagements with a focus on dispute resolution, the ocean-maritime law nexus, and legal harmonization.
