The procedures for cargo ship clearance in and out at Weda Port, Central Halmahera, managed by PT Pelayaran Bahtera Diserindo, play a vital role in ensuring efficient port operations and regulatory compliance. The clearance-in process consists of several steps that cargo ships must complete before entering the port, including document verification, health inspections, and adherence to security protocols. On the other hand, the clearance-out process involves procedures that must be completed before a ship departs, such as submitting shipping documents and undergoing cargo inspections. This study aims to examine these procedures, identify the challenges faced, and propose recommendations to enhance the efficiency and effectiveness of clearance processes at Weda Port. By utilizing the latest data and statistics, this research also emphasizes the significant role of PT Pelayaran Bahtera Diserindo in facilitating logistics operations in North Maluku. The findings are expected to provide a comprehensive understanding of the existing procedures and their impact on Indonesia's maritime industry.

 Ships with efficient port time reflect success in various aspects such as port operations, including time management, coordination between related parties, readiness of facilities and equipment, and workforce reliability. These efficiencies not only benefit port operators and shipping companies, but also contribute to smooth logistics supply chains, lower costs and increase economic competitiveness. Researchers determine 2 (two) types of data, namely secondary data and primary data, which will be processed through interviews and literature. By knowing each of the port time components above, we can understand the key to increasing operational efficiency, reducing costs, and ensuring smooth port and ship operations. Process optimization at each stage of port time implemented can help ports and shipping companies achieve competitive advantage and increase customer satisfaction

To be able to integrate system services at ports, the Ministry of Transportation applies a system, namely the Inaportnet system. Inaportnet is an internet-based electronic service system to integrate standard port information systems in physically serving ships from all agencies and stakeholders at the port. Inaportnet is the leading solution for port services, where the acceleration of data exchange between stakeholders at the port can be done quickly, in order to minimize time and have an impact on speeding up ship services at the port. The performance of employees at the main Port Authority office is a concrete action in carrying out the work that has been given by government agencies.
