Abstract

Konflik perdagangan global, khususnya antara Amerika Serikat dan Tiongkok, telah menyebabkan perubahan signifikan dalam dinamika perdagangan internasional dan memberikan dampak langsung terhadap sistem transportasi laut dan logistik global. Sejak tahun 2018, penerapan tarif dan kebijakan proteksionis oleh kedua negara telah memicu perubahan pola perdagangan, menciptakan ketidakpastian pasar, serta mendorong relokasi aktivitas produksi ke negara-negara alternatif seperti Vietnam dan India. Transportasi laut—yang mengangkut sekitar 80% dari total volume perdagangan dunia—menghadapi tantangan besar berupa perubahan rute pelayaran, fluktuasi volume pengiriman, serta peningkatan biaya logistik. Beberapa pelabuhan utama di Tiongkok mencatat penurunan aktivitas bongkar muat, sementara pelabuhan di Asia Tenggara dan kawasan lainnya mengalami lonjakan trafik sebagai dampak dari perubahan alur distribusi global. Ketidakpastian dalam rantai pasok juga menuntut perusahaan logistik untuk meningkatkan fleksibilitas dan ketahanan operasional. Di sisi lain, perubahan rute pelayaran secara tidak langsung berkontribusi terhadap peningkatan emisi karbon, sehingga menimbulkan tantangan baru dalam konteks keberlanjutan lingkungan. Studi-studi terkini yang dimuat dalam jurnal seperti Maritime Policy & Management serta Transportation Research Part E menunjukkan berbagai strategi adaptif yang diterapkan oleh pelabuhan dan perusahaan pelayaran dalam merespons kondisi ini. Analisis ini menegaskan pentingnya perumusan kebijakan global yang terkoordinasi untuk memitigasi dampak negatif terhadap transportasi laut serta mendukung keberlanjutan jangka panjang industri maritim di tengah dinamika geopolitik yang terus berkembang.   The global trade conflict, particularly between the United States and China, has significantly altered the dynamics of international commerce and has had a direct impact on maritime transportation and global logistics systems. Since 2018, the imposition of tariffs and protectionist policies by both countries has triggered shifts in trade patterns, created market uncertainty, and driven the relocation of production activities to alternative countries such as Vietnam and India. Maritime transport—which handles approximately 80% of global trade volume—faces major challenges, including changes in shipping routes, fluctuations in cargo volume, and rising logistics costs. Several major ports in China have reported declines in cargo handling activity, while ports in Southeast Asia and other regions have experienced increased traffic due to the reconfiguration of global supply chains. Supply chain uncertainty has also required logistics companies to enhance their operational flexibility and resilience. Furthermore, rerouting of vessels has indirectly contributed to an increase in carbon emissions, posing new environmental sustainability challenges. Recent studies published in journals such as Maritime Policy & Management and Transportation Research Part E highlight various adaptive strategies adopted by ports and shipping companies in response to these conditions. This analysis underscores the importance of coordinated global policy responses to mitigate the negative impacts on maritime transportation and to support the long-term sustainability of the maritime industry amid ongoing geopolitical shifts.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the contribution of the Class III Talang Duku Port Authority (KSOP) in supporting the operational efficiency of national maritime transportation. As an important hub in the distribution of strategic commodities in Jambi Province, Talang Duku Port faces challengin terms of infrastructure limitations, river channel sedimentation, and suboptimal inter-agency coordination. The research method used was qualitative through interviews, field observations, and literature studies. The results of the study show that KSOP plays a significant role in four main aspects, namely: Licensing and ship administration services through the digitization of Inaportnet, which speeds up bureaucratic processes and increases transparency; mooring arrangements and smooth ship traffic, which reduce waiting times and increase turn-around time; effective sailing safety supervision and technical inspections, which prevent incidents and increase operational safety; and collaboration with stakeholders through cross-sector coordination that facilitates the distribution of goods. In general, the contribution of KSOP Talang Duku has been proven to help reduce logistics costs, accelerate distribution flows, and strengthen the competitiveness of river ports. However, the sustainability of KSOP's effectiveness is highly dependent on improvements in infrastructure, the quality of human resources, and cross-sector integration in the national logistics system.

Abstract

The digital transformation of public services necessitates the adoption of technology that is not only functional but also aligned with user expectations and operational goals. In this context, this study investigates the influence of perceived usefulness (PU) and perceived ease of use (PEOU) of the Marine Traffic and Transportation Management Information System (SIMLALA) on employee performance at the Directorate of Marine Traffic and Transportation, with customer satisfaction serving as a mediating variable. As digital platforms become integral to public service delivery, understanding the user-centric aspects of system implementation is crucial. Adopting a quantitative research approach, data were collected through structured questionnaires distributed to 152 system users affiliated with marine transportation companies across Indonesia. The analytical method employed was Structural Equation Modeling with Partial Least Squares (SEM-PLS), enabling the examination of complex relationships between constructs. The results indicate that both PU and PEOU significantly and positively affect customer satisfaction. Furthermore, customer satisfaction is shown to have a substantial positive impact on employee performance. PU and PEOU also directly influence employee performance, indicating that the effectiveness and usability of SIMLALA contribute not only to external user satisfaction but also to internal organizational efficiency. Importantly, customer satisfaction acts as a strong mediating variable, bridging the effects of PU and PEOU on performance outcomes. This implies that improving the user experience through functional, intuitive systems can enhance service quality and employee productivity. The study contributes to the growing body of literature on technology acceptance and public sector digitalization, particularly in maritime transportation. It also provides practical recommendations for policymakers and system developers to prioritize usability and customer experience in designing and implementing digital public services, thereby ensuring both user satisfaction and enhanced institutional performance.
