Legal Review of the Implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security (ISPS) Code at Kijing Terminal International Port

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the International Ship and Port Facility Security Code (ISPS Code) at the Kijing Terminal International Port and also to identify the gap between normative provisions and practices that occur in the field. This study uses a qualitative method with an empirical juridical research type and uses a descriptive analytical approach. Primary data were obtained from interviews with five (5) key informants, namely the Pontianak Class II KSOP Official, the Port Facility Security Officer (PFSO) of the Kijing Terminal Port, representatives from PT. Pelindo, and security officers from the Indonesian Navy involved in the port security process. Meanwhile, secondary data were obtained from the results of a review of various literature sources regarding laws and regulations and documents related to the ISPS Code. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of the ISPS Code at the Kijing Terminal Port has been implemented, but there are still several aspects that do not meet security standards, especially in terms of consistency in the implementation of security procedures. This finding indicates a gap between normative aspects and implementation in the field that needs to be followed up through strengthening policies and increasing institutional capacity.
