E-Toll Laut

Abstract

Since the concept of Indonesia as the world's maritime fulcrum was initiated in 2014, the Government of Indonesia has begun to quickly formulate Indonesia's maritime connectivity policy. Indonesia's so-called sea highway (Tol Laut) program is one of them. However, this policy is considered to be less effective in solving logistical distribution chain problems which often caused the high price of basic goods in the market. Based on the results of the authors' observation, the process of dismantling containers at Indonesian ports can take more than 4 days. This is quite alarming, Indonesian port is the key to logistics distribution both between Indonesian islands and the international world, yet the condition. Therefore, the writing team formulated a concept of Indonesian (sea e-highway) policy as an e-governance solution to improve port management in Indonesia. E-Toll Laut itself is a name that the team of authors designates to explain the mechanism of blockchain port management in Indonesia. Based on the author's research team, this system is proven to be able to guarantee accountability, simplify the monitoring process, and accelerate bureaucratic processes and port transactions that are considered as accidents of the dwelling time process in Indonesia. The writing team then used Makassar port as a case study to give clearer picture for the problem.
