Synergy of port authority and port business entity in maintenance of shipping flows and port pools in commercial ports

Abstract

The enactment of Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping is the separation of the functions of government activities at ports and the functions of port exploitation. The separation of the functions of government activities and port operations aims to manage ports professionally, by opening up opportunities for fair business competition. There are two authorities in the Port Authority and Port Business Entity, namely the Government in this case the port authority and the Port Business Entity which obtains a permit from the ministry. For this reason, it is necessary to build synergy in maintaining Port Authority and Port Business Entity at commercial ports. The problem in this research is the synergy between the Port Authority (government) and Port Business Entity in maintaining shipping lanes and port pools in commercial ports. Using normative research methods, it is known that the synergy between port authorities and port business entities in maintaining shipping lanes and port pools at commercial ports is carried out through communication and coordination and is stated in the form of an agreement. The agreement made is a joint commitment between Port Authority and Port Business Entity to improve shipping safety and improving services at commercial ports.
