<![CDATA[This study examines the implementation of risk management to improve maritime safety at Teluk Bayur Port, aiming to (1) analyze risk management practices and (2) identify principal risk factors. A descriptive case-study design with supporting quantitative analysis was applied; data were collected by field observation, questionnaires (n = 90, purposive sampling) and documentation; analyses included descriptive percentages, simple regression, SWOT and risk assessment. Results show high awareness of risk management (87.7%) but a significant training gap (53.8% never trained). The main risk factor is adverse weather (82.7%), followed by inadequate infrastructure and human error. Quantitative analysis indicates a positive and significant effect of risk management implementation on maritime safety (regression coefficient b = 0.432; r = 0.860; R² = 0.739; p = 0.000), meaning 73.9% of safety variance is explained by implementation. Mitigation measures involve digital integration, training, and emergency procedures. Conclusion: risk management at Teluk Bayur is underway but not fully optimal or integrated; recommendations include regular training and simulations, infrastructure and navigation equipment modernization, strengthened inter-agency coordination, and data-driven risk management to shift from reactive to predictive and preventive safety practices.]]>
