This study aims to explain the procedure for processing the Notice of Readiness (NOR) document for coal-carrying vessels at PT. Armada Lintas Baruna Bandar Lampung and to identify the consequences that occur when the NOR is submitted late or contains inaccuracies. As vessels from international shipping companies frequently call at Indonesian ports to transport coal abroad, companies must continuously improve service efficiency and reliability to support national shipping and trade performance. PT. Armada Lintas Baruna plays a key role in managing export vessels, particularly coal carriers, from loading ports to their country destinations, and the NOR serves as a crucial document through which the Ship Master declares that the vessel is fully prepared to load or discharge cargo during the charter period. The NOR service process includes several stages: verification of vessel readiness by the agent, preparation and submission of the NOR document, verification by the port authority, issuance of NOR confirmation, and document closing. Delays or errors in NOR submission can disrupt the vessel’s operational schedule, potentially causing financial losses for shipowners through demurrage charges. This paper employs both field research and library research to provide an in-depth understanding of the NOR service mechanism.

PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam operates in the sector of ship security services and shipping management (shipping agency), providing support for both domestic and international voyages. Its services include handling vessel arrival and departure permits, processing entry and exit permits for foreign crew members, renewing ship and crew certificates, and managing administrative procedures for seafarers’ sign-on and sign-off documentation. The document management process begins when crew members either sign a Sea Work Agreement (PKL) for employment on Indonesian-flagged ships or enter into a work agreement for service on foreign-flagged vessels. This paper employs field observation and literature review methods to present a comprehensive description of the document processing mechanisms at PT. Pelayaran Dwi Putra Laksana Batam based on operational requirements. The discussion focuses on outlining the workflow of seafarer book sign-on procedures, starting from the shipowner’s notification regarding scheduled crew changes to final administrative completion at the Batam Special KSOP Office. The sign-on document not only verifies the crew member’s official assignment but also functions as a record of their maritime service history. Common challenges include delays in information submission from shipowners, which can prevent timely sign-on and subsequently hinder vessel clearance. Therefore, strong coordination between shipping companies and regulatory agencies is essential to ensure effective fulfillment of responsibilities in managing crew documentation.

This study aims to analyze the strategic role of the shipping agent, specifically PT. Naval Global Trans Belawan Branch, in ensuring the smooth flow of the maritime logistics chain. The shipping agent functions as a crucial intermediary coordinating contasiner distribution, bridging the interests of cargo owners, shipping companies, and the Belawan Port authority. The research utilizes a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collection performed through field observation and documentary study within the Belawan Port environment. The findings identify that the shipping agent holds broad responsibilities, commencing with container booking according to the required type and size, scheduling vessel arrivals and departures, managing customs and port documentation, and monitoring container movements (from the depot to loading onto the vessel). This role is highly instrumental in determining port throughput efficiency. However, in carrying out its functions, the shipping agent encounters several significant challenges. These constraints include limited container availability, disruptions in the port information system which is not yet optimally integrated, and dynamic changes in export-import regulations. These obstacles potentially cause operational delays and an increase in logistics costs. The study concludes by emphasizing the importance of better information technology integration between the shipping agent and the port authority. Furthermore, enhancing the quality of human resources (HR) through training and certification is key to ensuring that agents can respond to regulatory changes and operational challenges quickly and professionally.

This research aims to conduct an in-depth analysis of the administrative process for container Delivery Order (DO) handling implemented at Batu Ampar Port, Batam. The primary focus is to identify the procedural stages and evaluate the obstacles encountered during the DO issuance process. The Delivery Order is a crucial import document that serves as a transit permit, enabling service users to retrieve imported goods from the port area. The research methodology employs field research (field research) supported by a literature review (library research), allowing for the practical and thorough collection of operational data. The findings indicate that the administrative DO handling workflow commences with the receipt of documents from the shipping company representatives or service users, followed by the segregation of documents based on the company, recording the number of DOs, and culminates in the printing and validation of Form 2B, which serves as the official proof of cargo collection. This entire process demands close coordination among work units, particularly the administration and container depot sections. The study concludes that the effectiveness of DO management significantly impacts the smooth distribution of imported goods from the port. Common constraints frequently encountered include data inconsistency between the Bill of Lading and the received DO, as well as limitations in facilities and human resources within the administrative process. Recommended solutions include increasing supervision and refining the communication system between the applicant and the officials to ensure that the DO issuance process proceeds smoothly, promptly, and in compliance with established procedures.  

Empowerment is an effort to enhance the capabilities of individuals or groups so that they can perform tasks and responsibilities according to performance demands. Empowerment aims to help them meet basic needs, access productive resources, increase income, and participate in development. In the modern context, women are not only acting as housewives but also contributing in social and economic fields, working outside the home to support household expenses and improve family status. This shifts the role of women from the domestic sector to the public. Housewives have significant responsibilities in managing the household and ensuring family nutrition, which is crucial for achieving optimal health. Bananas, as a tropical fruit with high economic value, offer many health benefits, including preventing blood sugar spikes, improving digestion, supporting diet programs, and having various other benefits that are not widely known by the public.

This study discusses the implications of applying Restorative Justice on legal certainty and the protection of victims' rights in cases involving repeat offenders who have committed serious assault in the jurisdiction of the Tapa Police Sector, Bone Bolango. Normatively, Indonesian Police Regulation No. 8 of 2021, Article 5(e), explicitly prohibits the application of Restorative Justice for offenders who have committed repeat criminal offenses based on court rulings. However, the research findings indicate that in practice, law enforcement officials often exercise discretion to facilitate peaceful resolutions even for repeat offenders, citing the need to maintain social relationships and avoid lengthy litigation processes. This approach raises legal certainty issues, as inconsistencies between written norms and field practices can reduce legal predictability, open the door to discrimination, and weaken both general and specific deterrent effects. From the perspective of victim protection, peaceful agreements in cases involving repeat offenders risk not fully reflecting substantive justice, as victims may be in a vulnerable position due to social pressure or unequal power dynamics. This study concludes that the application of Restorative Justice to repeat offenders needs to be strictly limited through more detailed regulations and effective oversight mechanisms, so that the principles of the rule of law, legal certainty, and victim protection are upheld. Thus, Restorative Justice can remain an important instrument in Indonesia's criminal justice system without compromising legal integrity and public safety.
