| dc.description.abstract | As the world's largest archipelagic country with abundant maritime resources, Indonesia has great potential to drive economic growth through the maritime sector, particularly through port optimization. To realize this, PT Pelabuhan Indonesia (PT Pelindo) was established as an integrated port service provider throughout Indonesia. PT Pelindo is the result of the merger of four national port state-owned enterprises, namely PT Pelindo I, PT Pelindo II, PT Pelindo III, and PT Pelindo IV, which officially merged on October 1, 2021. This merger aims to create a more efficient and integrated maritime logistics system throughout the archipelago. Empirical legal research is the result of this descriptive analysis study. Primary and secondary data sources were used in this research. Primary data was obtained directly from PT Pelindo's research. Field research and literature review were the two data collection methods. As a strategic step to achieve national connectivity and build a resilient logistics ecosystem network, the government acquired PT Pelindo's shares and merged them into a single integrated entity. This merger aims to strengthen domestic and international port connectivity through more effective maritime connectivity. Legally, the merger is the best strategy to strengthen the company's foundation, as it is believed to accelerate the achievement of corporate goals. This step was also taken to improve access to international markets and technology, promote operational efficiency, consolidate resources, reduce domestic logistics costs, and encourage innovation. As a result, PT Pelindo's operational performance has improved, particularly in terms of port productivity and efficiency. This is reflected in the increase in cargo flow, both containerized and non-containerized, throughout 2021 compared to the previous year. As part of the initiative to reduce domestic logistics costs. | en_US |
