This is an empirical legal research that employed socio-juridical approach. Primary data was obtained by conducting interviews and observation, while the secondary data from library research that relevantly supports the issue observed. All those types of data will be analysed with descriptive and qualitative methods. The research result reveals that the implementation of the responsibility of PT. Pelabuhan Indonesia IV is restricted by law. As implied in Article 468 Paragraph (2), if the port enterprise could provide proof of being not guilty, in which the goods are damaged when shipped or forwarding, this damage is not the responsibility of PT.
