Abstract

Port governance in Indonesia remains a critical issue within maritime sector reform due to institutional fragmentation, overlapping authority, bureaucratic complexity, and uneven implementation of regulatory policies. As an archipelagic country, Indonesia depends heavily on efficient port systems to support logistics connectivity, investment, inter-island trade, and maritime competitiveness. This study aims to examine how regulatory reform shapes Indonesian port governance and to identify the bureaucratic challenges that affect the implementation of reform in the maritime sector. Using a qualitative descriptive literature review approach, this article analyzes secondary data from peer-reviewed journal articles, policy documents, institutional reports, and relevant academic publications. The data were examined through qualitative content analysis by identifying key themes related to port governance, regulatory reform, bureaucratic coordination, digital integration, institutional capacity, and stakeholder collaboration. The findings indicate that regulatory reform has encouraged modernization in port management, service integration, and digital transformation; however, its effectiveness remains limited by fragmented institutional mandates, procedural rigidity, weak inter-agency coordination, and uneven bureaucratic capacity across ports. The study also finds that digitalization can improve transparency and efficiency, but only when supported by regulatory coherence, organizational readiness, and integrated information systems. This article concludes that Indonesian port reform should be understood not merely as legal or infrastructural modernization, but as a broader governance transformation requiring regulatory harmonization, bureaucratic simplification, institutional coordination, stakeholder participation, and adaptive policy learning to strengthen national maritime competitiveness.

Abstract

This study examines the disharmony between national and regional policies in maritime governance at Tanjungpinang City Port. The issue emerges from the tension between centralized maritime regulation, which emphasizes port safety, operational standards, and national connectivity, and regional governance needs related to urban mobility, spatial planning, public services, and local economic development. The purpose of this study is to analyze how policy misalignment affects port governance and to identify the institutional, regulatory, and spatial challenges that shape the relationship between national authority and regional responsiveness. This research uses a qualitative case study approach supported by document analysis, stakeholder-based qualitative data, and descriptive policy analysis. The data were obtained from national maritime regulations, regional planning documents, institutional reports, field observations, and relevant stakeholder perspectives. The findings show that policy disharmony produces institutional fragmentation, regulatory misalignment, weak port-city spatial integration, limited stakeholder coordination, and gaps in public service planning. These conditions reduce the effectiveness of port management and limit the capacity of Tanjungpinang City Port to support sustainable regional development. The study concludes that maritime governance reform requires an adaptive and integrated framework that connects national standards with regional priorities through policy harmonization, institutional coordination, stakeholder participation, digital governance, and port-city spatial integration. Such reform is necessary to strengthen accountability, improve public services, and position Tanjungpinang City Port as a strategic node for inclusive and sustainable maritime development.

Abstract

Indonesia’s maritime development has been positioned as a strategic national agenda due to its archipelagic geography, abundant marine resources, and strategic location within regional and global sea lanes. However, the implementation of maritime development continues to face a gap between policy concepts and practical realities, particularly in governance coordination, port connectivity, logistics efficiency, digital transformation, environmental sustainability, and coastal community inclusion. This study aims to examine the main challenges in implementing maritime development in Indonesia and to explain how an adaptive and integrated governance framework can support the transformation of maritime policy into concrete development outcomes. This research employs a qualitative descriptive-analytical approach using secondary data collected through literature review and document analysis. The data were analyzed through qualitative content analysis by identifying key themes related to maritime governance, port logistics, blue economy implementation, institutional reform, and regional development. The findings show that Indonesia’s maritime development is constrained by fragmented institutional arrangements, uneven port infrastructure, high logistics costs, weak hinterland integration, limited digital interoperability, and insufficient environmental safeguards. The study also finds that maritime development requires stronger coordination among central government, regional governments, port authorities, private sector actors, universities, civil society, and coastal communities. In conclusion, Indonesia’s maritime development should move beyond infrastructure-oriented policies toward adaptive, collaborative, and sustainability-based governance. Strengthening institutional integration, digital readiness, green port practices, regional participation, and blue economy implementation is essential to transform Indonesia’s maritime vision from a policy concept into an inclusive and sustainable development reality.

Abstract

Sea level rise due to climate change challenges the legal certainty of Indonesia's maritime space as changes to the coastline have the potential to affect delimitation. This article aims to analyse the implications of the International Court of Justice (ICJ) Advisory Opinion 23 July 2025 on the legal certainty of the base line, outer limits of the maritime zone, and delimitation, by placing Indonesia as an archipelagic country vulnerable to abrasion, tidal dynamics, and the risk of jurisdictional disputes. The research method used is juridical-normative through document study and textual and systematic interpretation of UNCLOS provisions on the base line, publicity and deposit of maps/list of geographical coordinates, and delimitation provisions along with legal principles of maritime boundary agreements. The analysis shows that physical coastal changes do not necessarily give rise to an obligation to update maps or coordinate lists automatically and recurrently once a maritime zone is duly established. This finding confirms that the published and deposited coordinate list serves as a verifiable jurisdictional instrument, subject to compliance with UNCLOS and the principle of lawful maintenance. In the realm of delimitation, the stability of treaty-based boundaries is maintained in principle, while the greatest vulnerability lies in segments that are not yet finalised or effective. This article recommends a two-track strategy for Indonesia: maintaining legal boundary certainty through strengthening coordinate and deposit governance, while updating hydrographic information for navigation safety without changing the legal position of boundaries, and prioritising the completion and effectiveness of boundary agreements in potentially overlapping areas.

Abstract

The strategic development of the Blue Economy (BE) is central to Tanzania’s national and regional aspirations for inclusive growth and poverty reduction, with small and medium-sized enterprises (SMEs) constituting its operational backbone. However, the transformative potential of BE sectors fisheries, aquaculture, coastal tourism, and maritime services is critically constrained by a persistent financing gap. This systematic review synthesizes current evidence to diagnose the binding financial constraints faced by BE-SMEs in Tanzania and to evaluate viable pathways for intervention. Employing a structured methodology, the review critically analyzes peer-reviewed literature, policy documents, and institutional reports from 2006 to 2025. The synthesis identifies a consistent quartet of barriers: stringent collateral requirements underpinned by information asymmetry, elevated lender risk perceptions due to sectoral volatility and climate exposure, pervasive deficiencies in SME financial records and business planning, and cumbersome loan application procedures. Concurrently, the analysis surfaces converging opportunity domains, including the adaptation of group-based and credit-guarantee mechanisms, the deployment of digital and alternative data for risk assessment, and the design of financial products tailored to seasonal cash flows. The review concludes that bridging the finance chasm requires a systemic shift towards blended financial instruments, policy-driven credit infrastructure improvements, and lender innovations in underwriting technology. By aligning financial systems with the distinct realities of BE-SMEs, Tanzania can unlock sustainable, equitable growth within its ocean-based economy.
