Abstract

The weakness of conventional management ports is the time-consuming procedures for completing documents. As a result, the dwelling time is even longer than the sailing time at sea. Furthermore, the physical documents required in the supply chain cost nearly half the travel price. Maritime activities involve numerous stakeholders, including customs port business entities, shippers, carriers, and insurance companies. The complicated procedures for document settlement lead to inefficient dwelling time. This paper aims to discover an appropriate port management model so the ports can export technology while supporting managerial and functional international trade. The methodology used is to analyze how the provisions of relevant laws impact the e-document and analyze it with a qualitative method. The supporting data are field (primary data), data collection techniques, in-depth interviews, and observations. With this research, the Port is expected to provide reliable and efficient support to transform technology and governance functionally using the appropriate legal framework. The ports will better compete with ports in neighboring countries using digitalization procedures.
