Multimodal Freight Transport Regulations in Indonesia and Its Implementation (A Case Study of Tanjung Priok Port)

Abstract

The purpose of this paper is to present the current situation of multimodal transport in Indonesia and the various ways in which it is implemented. This paper will also examine the existing regulations and overcome barriers in implementation for providers and users of services. The paper also aims to correlate the elements of government regulation into the logistics chain, to understand the need for the application of Multimodal Transport. Indonesia has realized the benefits that can be achieved by implementing multimodal transport, an important alternative to improve logistics performance. As the government plays an important role in offering the legal and institutional framework, this paper assesses the implementation of regulatory linkages, infrastructure, and why multimodal transport is still not implemented properly.
