Abstract

Ship agency plays a strategic role in supporting the smooth and efficient operation of vessels at ports. Agencies handle a range of services, from arranging vessel clearance documents to coordinating with port authorities, terminal operators, and other related parties, so the quality of their performance directly affects vessel turnaround time. This study aims to analyze the performance of ship agency services at PT Bahari Eka Nusantara. The study employed a descriptive qualitative method, with data collected through observation, interviews, and documentation. Performance was examined in terms of the timeliness of service, the handling of ship documents, and coordination with port stakeholders, with a focus on the operational human resources who deliver these services. The results show that ship agency services still face obstacles, mainly the limited number and competence of operational staff, which lead to administrative delays in ship services, document management, and clearance in and out, as well as less optimal coordination with terminals and ship crews. Therefore, improving human resource competencies and strengthening the coordination system are necessary to enhance service quality sustainably. These findings are expected to serve as input for the company in formulating strategies to improve its ship agency services in the future.
