JURIDIC ANALYSIS OF THE ROLE OF PORT OPERATORS IN REALIZING LEGAL GUARANTEE AND PROTECTION TO SERVICE USERS

Law

Maritime issues in Indonesia are almost every day an endless discussion, so it is only natural that the public or law enforcement officers in the shipping sector participate in discussing them. This is because many ship accidents result in the loss of life of crew or passengers. The role of the sea is crucial as a unifier of the nation and the territory of Indonesia. Consequently, the Government is obliged to administer governance in law enforcement, both against threats of violations against the use of waters and maintaining and creating shipping safety and security. Shipping supervision must be increased in managing accidents at sea, which must be carried out efficiently and effectively. Shipping safety and security are the most important to avoid accidents at sea. Passenger safety is left to insurance protection, and transportation company operators must strive to provide and maintain transportation equipment that meets safety standards by the provisions of laws and international conventions. To ensure the implementation of the security, and safety of shipping at sea, a Marine and Coastal Guard Unit (KPLP) was formed, which is responsible to the Minister of Transportation. The duties, authorities, and other matters related to KPLP are regulated by Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping.
