Maritime law enforcement in Indonesian waters, especially in the Riau Islands, is a complex challenge considering the breadth of the territory and the variety of maritime threats faced. The Maritime Security Agency of the Republic of Indonesia (BAKAMLA RI) has an important role in maintaining security and enforcing the law in Indonesian waters. This study aims to analyze the role and authority of BAKAMLA RI in enforcing maritime law and evaluate the effectiveness of the implementation of its duties in the waters of the Riau Islands. This study uses a normative juridical method with a case approach to collect empirical data. The data was obtained through literature studies, analysis of legal documents, and interviews with BAKAMLA RI personnel and related agencies. The analysis was carried out using John Rawls' theory of justice, Lawrence M. Friedman's theory of legal system, and Sudikno Mertokusumo's theory of legal certainty to understand the obstacles and find solutions to improve the effectiveness of maritime law enforcement. The results of the study show that maritime law enforcement by BAKAMLA RI in the Natuna Riau Islands has not been optimal. The main obstacles faced include limited resources, the complexity of maritime crimes, and ineffective inter- agency coordination. Despite having a strong legal foundation, BAKAMLA RI effectiveness in carrying out its duties still needs to be improved through greater budget support, the procurement of advanced technology, and personnel training and capacity building programs. Based on these findings, it is recommended that BAKAMLA RI strengthen coordination with related agencies through the establishment of a joint command center and information system integration. The government needs to provide adequate budget support and strengthen the regulatory framework to support maritime law enforcement. The public is also expected to increase awareness and active participation in maintaining maritime security. With these steps, it is hoped that the effectiveness of maritime law enforcement by BAKAMLA RI can be improved, so that the security and sovereignty of Indonesian waters, especially in the Riau Islands, can be better maintained
 

Forest and land fires are a serious problem that has a negative impact on the environment and the economy, especially in the Riau Islands region, including Bintan Regency. The background of this research is the high frequency of forest fires that cause ecosystem damage, air pollution, and significant economic losses. This study aims to analyze the forest and land fire prevention and law enforcement strategies that have been implemented and identify obstacles in their implementation. The research method used is qualitative with a case study approach. The data was collected through in-depth interviews with law enforcement officials, forestry officers, and local communities, as well as analysis of documents related to forest fires in Bintan over the past few years. In addition, questionnaires were also distributed to get a broader perspective on the effectiveness of existing strategies. The results of the study show that although there have been various prevention efforts such as routine patrols, socialization, and the installation of prohibition signs, the effectiveness is still not optimal. The main obstacles identified include limited resources, lack of community participation, difficulty in identifying perpetrators, hard-to-reach terrain, and pressure from certain parties. The lack of resources such as personnel and equipment, as well as the low level of public awareness and participation in forest fire prevention, are the main factors hindering the effectiveness of these strategies. In addition, pressure from landowners or influential parties often hinders firm and fair law enforcement. Suggestions for improving the effectiveness of prevention and enforcement strategies include increasing the budget and capacity of officers, the use of advanced technology for monitoring and investigation, and education and empowerment of local communities. In addition, there is a need for increased coordination between agencies and legal protection for officers who face pressure in carrying out their duties. With a comprehensive and inclusive approach, it is hoped that forest and land fires in Bintan can be minimized, so that a more sustainable environment and a stable economy can be realized

Enforcement of discipline among the State Civil Apparatus (ASN) is an important component in maintaining professionalism and efficiency of public services. This study aims to analyze the effectiveness of disciplinary punishment enforcement in improving ASN discipline at the Batam Municipal and Special Port Authority (KSOP) Office. The background of this research includes various challenges in enforcing ASN discipline, such as long and bureaucratic procedures, low awareness of discipline, and political intervention. The research method used is normative juridical using secondary data through library research, and also an empirical juridical approach with primary data through field research. Primary data collection was carried out through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis. The research respondents consisted of Batam KSOP employees, related officials, and other parties related to discipline enforcement in the environment. The results of the study show that the effectiveness of disciplinary enforcement in KSOP Batam is still not optimal. Convoluted enforcement procedures, lack of employee understanding of the importance of discipline, and political intervention were the main obstacles found. In addition, limited human resources and facilities also hinder the effective discipline enforcement process. This study also found that efforts to simplify procedures, increase socialization and education, and strengthen transparent supervision can increase the effectiveness of disciplinary punishment enforcement. Suggestions include the need for bureaucratic reform to simplify discipline enforcement procedures, the implementation of training and education programs on an ongoing basis, and the establishment of an independent internal oversight unit. Additionally, it is important for governments to ensure that discipline law enforcement is free from political interference and supported by adequate resources. With these steps, it is hoped that the discipline of ASN at KSOP Batam can be improved, which will ultimately contribute to improving the quality of public services and the reputation of government agencies.

The Sea and Coast Guard Base (PLP) plays a vital role in maintaining maritime security and safety in Indonesia, especially in strategic waters such as the Riau Islands. However, the implementation of the PLP's authority in carrying out its duties at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base has not run optimally. This study aims to analyze the authority of the PLP from a juridical and sociological perspective, as well as identify the obstacles faced and provide recommendations to overcome them. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. The normative juridical method is used to analyze various laws and regulations that are the legal basis for the authority of the PLP, such as Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping, Regulation of the Minister of Transportation of the Republic of Indonesia Number PM 119 of 2021 concerning the Organization and Work Procedures of Marine and Coast Guard Bases, Decree of the Director General of Hubla Number 13/VIII/DV-05 of 2005 concerning the Working Area of Marine and Coast Guard Bases and the Decree of the Director General of Sea Transportation Number KP.867/DJPL/2020 concerning the Patrol of the Marine and Coast Guard Unit of the Directorate General of Sea Transportation. Empirical sociological methods are used to collect data through interviews and direct observations in the field to understand the implementation of PLP authority and the obstacles faced. The results of the study show that limited human resources and equipment, lack of coordination between agencies, inadequate infrastructure, and complex bureaucracy are the main obstacles in the implementation of PLP authority in the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base. In addition, the low legal awareness among the maritime community is also a significant challenge. Based on these findings, this study provides several suggestions, including increasing recruitment and training of personnel, procurement and maintenance of patrol boats and supporting equipment, the formation of an inter-agency coordination team, the construction of adequate port facilities, and socialization and education to increase public legal awareness. This research is expected to contribute to strengthening policies and strategies for the implementation of PLP authority, so as to be able to increase effectiveness and efficiency in maintaining maritime security and safety in Indonesian waters.

This research aims to investigate and analyze legally the granting of mortgage rights guarantee to creditors, especially foreign banks (conducted at the Land Office of Batam). The method used is normative legal research utilizing library references and interviews with academic and practitioner experts as research subjects. This study is descriptive, systematically analyzing primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials along with relevant facts. The conclusion of this research is that the granting of mortgage rights to foreign banks follows the procedures stipulated in Ministerial Regulation No. 5 of 2020 from the Ministry of ATR/BPN. The registration process for mortgage rights is conducted electronically, but foreign banks such as China Banking Corporation Limited must first register through the financial partner application. The main challenges in implementing electronic mortgage rights guarantee primarily stem from legal uncertainties regarding the registration of foreign creditors through the financial partner application managed by the Ministry. Additionally, there are technical challenges due to IT systems that are not yet fully prepared. Improving the quality of human resources is also necessary, given the constraints faced at the land office due to a shortage of personnel, while demand from the public and service users remains high.

Batam Port is one of the strategic ports in Indonesia that plays an important role in the flow of goods and passengers and supports regional and international connectivity. As a port with mandatory pilotage waters, pilotage and towing services are vital components in ensuring the safety and efficiency of port operations. The imposition of Non-Tax State Revenue (PNBP) of 5% from these services aims to increase state revenue and the quality of port services. However, the implementation of this policy raises various challenges, such as overlapping levies that increase ship operational costs and low levels of user compliance.This study aims to analyze the legal regulations, implementation, and impact of the imposition and management of PNBP contributions of 5% from pilotage and towing services in Class II Pilotage Waters of Batam Port. The research method used is qualitative with data collection techniques through in-depth interviews, observations, and documentation studies. Research respondents included officials of the Batam Special Harbormaster and Port Authority Office (KSOP), Port Business Entities holding pilotage delegations, shipping companies, and port service user.The results of the study show that the imposition of 5% PNBP is supported by a strong legal basis, but its implementation still faces obstacles such as high operational costs due to overlapping levies and low understanding and compliance of service users. The management of PNBP funds that is not transparent is also an obstacle in achieving the goal of improving port services and infrastructure. To overcome this problem, efforts are needed to harmonize levy policies, increase transparency and accountability in fund management, and provide more effective education and socialization to the maritime community. Suggestions submitted include harmonization of policies between KSOP Batam and the Port Business Entity BP Batam, increasing socialization and education to service users, and reviewing regulations by the government to ensure port efficiency and competitiveness. With these steps, it is hoped that the implementation and management of 5% PNBP can be more efficient, fair, and provide optimal benefits for all stakeholders in Batam Port.
 

Corruption is one of the major problems that hinder development and prosperity in Indonesia. In Batam City, the handling of corruption crimes is often not optimal, especially in the aspect of recovering illegally obtained assets. The Non-Conviction Based Asset Forfeiture (NCBAF) mechanism is one of the instruments that is expected to accelerate the process of recovering state losses without having to wait for criminal punishment. This research aims to assist in the regulation of NCBAF laws and standards in resolving corruption crimes in Batam City, as well as identify the obstacles faced and efforts that can be made to optimize their implementation. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical juridical. The normative juridical approach is carried out by reviewing relevant regulations, including Law Number 8 of 2010 concerning the Prevention and Eradication of Money Laundering Crimes, as well as related literature. The empirical juridical approach is carried out through case studies and interviews with law enforcement officials in Batam City. The results of the study show that although the NCBAF has been regulated in the regulations, its implementation in Batam City still faces various obstacles, such as lack of coordination between law enforcement agencies, high standards of proof, unclear legal procedures, and limited resources and technical capacity of the apparatus. Examples of corruption in infrastructure assistance, embezzlement of social funds, and corruption in the procurement of goods and services show that assets suspected of originating from criminal acts often cannot be immediately confiscated and utilized by the state. To overcome these obstacles, this study suggests increased coordination between law enforcement agencies through the formation of special teams, the preparation of clear standard operating procedures (SOPs), intensification of training for law enforcement officials, increased international cooperation, and community campaigns to increase public awareness and support. With these steps, the NCBAF is expected to become a more effective instrument in eradicating corruption and recovering state losses in Batam City.

Law enforcement in the shipping sector is an important aspect in maintaining security and order in Indonesian waters. Civil Servant Investigators (PNS) at the Marine and Coast Guard Base (PLP) have a central role in cracking down on shipping crimes. This study aims to analyze the role of civil servant investigators at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base in law enforcement of shipping crimes, identify the obstacles faced, and provide recommendations to increase the effectiveness of law enforcement. The research methods used are normative juridical and empirical sociology. Normative juridical research is carried out through the study of relevant documents and laws and regulations, such as Law Number 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping and its implementing regulations. Empirical sociological research was conducted through interviews with civil servant investigators, related parties, and analysis of concrete cases handled at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base. The results of the study show that civil servant investigators at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base have an important role in law enforcement of shipping crimes, but face various obstacles. Limited human resources and facilities, lack of coordination between agencies, and technical and legislative obstacles are some of the main obstacles. Case handling such as KM. Putra Harapan Baru and MT. Queen Majesty revealed that violations often occur due to non-compliance with shipping regulations, as well as a lack of legal awareness among shipping industry players. Based on the results of the research, it is recommended that the number and quality of investigators be increased through training and recruitment, investment in adequate facilities and equipment, and increased coordination between agencies. In addition, the adjustment of domestic regulations to international standards and legal awareness campaigns for the public and shipping industry players are also important to ensure compliance with the law. Strengthening legal protection for investigators from external intervention and strict enforcement of the code of ethics will help maintain integrity and professionalism in maritime law enforcement. With this effort, it is hoped that law enforcement of shipping crimes at the Tanjung Uban Class II PLP Base can run more effectively and efficiently.
