<![CDATA[In Indonesia's shipping sector, ship certificates and documents are essential for verifying a ship's seaworthiness. One of the key certificates is the BKI, which consists of two types: statutory and class certificates. Statutory certificates are further divided into Marpol and Solas certificates. Marpol certificates include international and national types, while Solas certificates focus on ship safety and security. Class certificates cover the ship's hull and machinery. However, challenges often arise during the endorsement of both statutory and class certificates, requiring analysis to identify the factors that hinder the endorsement process and optimize these activities. This research uses a qualitative approach, with data collected from ships experiencing issues during the certificate endorsement period at PT. Logindo Samudramakmur Tbk between 2023 and 2024. The data collection techniques include observation, documentation, and literature review. The findings show that the biggest hindrance is the offshore location, which limits access to the area. Other factors, such as inappropriate findings onboard and bad weather, also contribute to delays. The research recommends optimizing access availability and performing routine ship maintenance to ensure the smooth and optimal operation of certificate endorsement activities.]]>
