<![CDATA[This qualitative study investigates the critical determinants of State Asset (BMN) management competency within Indonesia's Directorate General of Sea Transportation (Ditjen Hubla), a pivotal institution for national maritime development. Despite significant investments, recurrent findings from the Supreme Audit Board (BPK) indicate systemic failures in BMN administration. Through in-depth interviews with 12 key personnel and thematic analysis of BPK reports (2020-2023), this research identifies a profound competency schism. Findings reveal that maritime civil servants often possess adequate technical operational knowledge but lack the essential public financial administration capabilities, particularly deep digital proficiency in the SAKTI system and adaptive problem-solving skills for non-routine cases. A significant "training-practice divide" renders conventional professional development ineffective. The study concludes that achieving audit compliance and strategic maritime objectives requires a paradigm shift from generic training to fostering a culture of continuous, case-based learning. It contributes to maritime policy and public administration literature by conceptualizing the "maritime public administrator" – a hybrid professional essential for bridging operational maritime expertise with accountable public financial stewardship.]]>
