<![CDATA[The rapid development of the national and international maritime world has raised many aspects that must be considered in the maritime sector, including ship security. In response, the international maritime community established the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code, a regulation aimed at ensuring that ships remain in a secure condition in order to prevent threats to ship security. This study aims to determine the handling and supervision of stowaways, as well as the risks posed by their presence, on KM Sabuk Nusantara 86. A qualitative descriptive method was used, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation from primary and secondary sources. The results indicate that stowaways create various risks and problems for both the shipping company and the ship, including the loss of passengers’ property, fire hazards, threats to the safety of passengers and crew, reduced passenger confidence, and departure delays. In addition, ship delays frequently occur due to suboptimal passenger services during embarkation and disembarkation. Therefore, closer cooperation between the ship and port security is needed to strengthen the supervision and handling of stowaways and to ensure compliance with the ISPS Code.]]>
