Abstract

Indonesia is the world’s largest archipelago, 2/3 of the country is covered by sea. But due to many factors a lot of ship accidents occurred every year, and claiming a large number of casualties. There are so many accident in sea transportation in Indonesia. Accidents occurring in rivers, lakes, and crossing that reached Marine Court in 2003-2013 is due to Total of Factor Ship’s Accident: human error 57%, force majeure 24%, others 19%. Efforts have been done to improve the safety of domestic sea transportation, as the result to be fully compliance to the SOLAS regulations, worsen by the varying sea and cargo characteristics, and low educated passengers, they are very vulnerable to accidents. Most of the accidents occur due to the low awareness of the aspects of security and safety of the crew. The figures differ from the manifest of passengers and number of passengers on the ground become commonplace. There are four main issues in maritime transport, i.e. no persons or Government agencies that are willing to hold the responsibility of safety and security, tariff policy, the quality of human resources, as well as the implementation and enforcement of the regulations is not clear. Safety of sea transportation should also start from the port conditions are sterile. The port is the main key from out the influx of sea transport. Unfortunately, almost all ports in Indonesia does not have any crossing facilities or equipment to control weight, dimensions, and other types of payloads in any vehicle that boarded the ship. It becomes a threat to the safety of shipping crossing, particularly if a malicious payload that went into the ship without appropriate handling procedures.
