Beyond Maritime Research: Export Under the Indonesian Transportation Law

Abstract

Fishery products are one of the mainstays of Indonesia's exports. In order to increase fisheries exports in Indonesia, the government has made a breakthrough in the development of maritime logistics, especially during COVID-19. The role and activities of tracking companies, freight forwarders or Marine Cargo Expeditions are very important for the development of logistics, as they facilitate the work of exporters. This research aims to analyze the maritime transport regulations on fish exports and the implementation of transport regulations in practice, especially the role of tracking and forwarding companies in supporting government programs to increase fish exports in Indonesia. The research uses a normative legal method, i.e. theories, concepts, legal principles, laws and regulations relevant to this research are examined based on the most pertinent legal material. Legal research is a process of identifying legal norms, legal principles, and legal doctrines in order to answer legal questions that arise in practice. The legal materials used are primary and secondary legal materials. Primary legal materials are laws and regulations that relate to the problems. Secondary legal materials are books and journals dealing with research topics.
