An internal review shows the Australian Navy breached Indonesia's territorial waters six times because crew carrying out Operation Sovereign Borders failed to accurately calculate Indonesia's maritime borders.
"Crews intended to remain outside Indonesian waters," the report said.
"Each incursion was inadvertent and occurred as a result of miscalculation of Indonesian maritime boundaries by Australian crews."
Immigration Minister Scott Morrison has backed the report's findings, saying they show the incursions, although "highly regrettable", were "accidental".
