Indonesia is a maritime country, in which 29% of its population working as
fishermen. As a state of law, every actions taken by fishermen must be based on
the laws including the permit of the ship. The aim of this study was to identify the
problems in overcoming ship permit, so that the results of this study can
contribute to improving regulations and the welfare of fishermen. Related to ship
permit for fishermen, Regulation of the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries
of the Republic of Indonesia No. 11 of 2016 about minimum service standards for
fishing vessel licensing outlets for re-measurement results has heen issued. The
problem identified in this study was the implications of the issuance of the
Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries Regulation No. 11 of 2016 on
fishermen in the area of West Kalimantan especially in the Penjjap Port. Method
used for the research was a normative legal research. The result of this research
was that the management of ship permits under 30 GT was made easier since the
Ministerial Regulation Number 11 of 2016 implemented because fishermen does
not need a recommendation letter in the form of Norms, Standards, Procedures
and Criteria from the Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in Jakarta.
Meanwhile for fishermen or boat owners with ship capacity over 30 GT, they
need to apply for their ships’ permits at the head office of the Ministry of
Maritime Affairs and Fisheries in Jakarta by fulfilling all the requirements that
have been set. It is expected that the management of ship permits under 30 GT is
easier and does not have significant problems compared to the management of
ship permits over 30 GT.
