Abstract

The contribution of Indonesia's fisheries sector in 2020 dropped by 0.63 percent compared to 2019, which grew to 6.24%. This shows that Indonesia's fisheries sector is facing problems, one of which is Illegal Unreported Unregulated Fishing (IUUF). The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia stated that state losses due to IUUF reached 300 trillion rupiah per year. Efforts to prevent IUUF in Indonesia have been made by controlling fishing management through licensing mechanisms, fisheries supervision, and followed up with law enforcement. One of the government instruments to prevent IUUF through licensing mechanism is by issuing Sailing Approval Letter/Port Clearance (PC) for fishing vessels. This study aims to formulate a strategy for the implementation of Sailing Approval Letter licensing for fishing vessels at Untia Fishing Port (UFP), Makassar City. This research is a quantitative research with survey method. Data were obtained from observations, questionnaires to measure fishermen's perceptions and attitudes, and structured interviews. Data analysis was conducted by quantitative analysis to measure the attitude and perception of fishermen; and SWOT analysis to determine strategies to improve the service process of issuing PC at UFP-Makassar City. Based on the results of the regulatory search, the PC licensing service at UFP-Makassar City refers to Law No. 11/2020, Law No. 45/2009, and Law No. 17/2008, Government Regulation No. 27/2021, KP Minister Regulation No.3/2013 and Minister of Transportation Regulation No.82/2014. The level of satisfaction of fishermen with PC services at UFP-Makassar City is 82.32% (performance category "Good"). The elements with the lowest level of satisfaction are Handling customer complaints, Speed of service, and Ability and skills of service officers. The results of the Internal Factor analysis Strategy (IFAS) and external Factor analysis Strategy (EFAS) show that the position of UFP Makassar City in an effort to improve of PC licence services is in quadrant II (stability). The strategies that must be carried out are (a) Increase the capacity of harbourmaster in the field of information system technology; and (b) collaborate and elaborate between UFP Makassar City, Provincial and City Fisheries Offices and Universities through policy studies to encourage fishing vessels to move in UFP-Makassar City in Indonesia.
