2026-09-28T13:52:38+08:00

The transition to green energy is a strategic agenda for Indonesia in responding to climate change and high dependence on fossil fuels. Although Indonesia has significant renewable energy potential, its utilization rate remains relatively low. This situation indicates that the challenges of the green energy transition are not only technical and economic, but also influenced by social factors, particularly education, social acceptance, and technology adoption. This study aims to analyze the relationship between education level, social acceptance, and the adoption of green energy technology in Indonesia. The study focuses on the role of education in shaping energy literacy and awareness, the dynamics of social acceptance of renewable energy technology, and the factors that hinder and encourage the adoption of green energy technology within the context of national policy. The research method used is a systematic literature review. Data were collected from scientific articles indexed by Scopus, Web of Science, and SINTA, as well as government policy reports and publications from relevant international institutions, covering the last five years. The analysis was conducted descriptively and analytically by grouping the literature findings into themes of education, social acceptance, and technology adoption. The results show that education level has a significant influence on increasing energy literacy and positive public attitudes toward green energy. Social acceptance has been shown to be a key factor influencing the successful implementation of renewable energy technologies, particularly through perceptions of benefits, risks, and distributive equity. However, the adoption of green energy technologies still faces obstacles such as high initial investment costs, limited infrastructure, and inconsistent policies. This research confirms that accelerating the green energy transition in Indonesia requires a holistic and integrated policy approach, combining strengthened education, increased social acceptance, and sustainable institutional support

2026-09-28T13:54:27+08:00

A ship’s crew member is a person who works or is employed on board a ship by the owner or operator of the ship to perform duties on board in accordance with the position listed in the crew list (sijil). Under maritime law, the crew comprises all persons who work on board and are tasked with operating, maintaining, and safeguarding the ship and its cargo, with the exception of the master. This study aims to analyze the roles and functions of the crewing department in preparing ship crews at PT Pelayaran Andalas Bahtera Baruna, West Jakarta Branch, and the obstacles it faces. A descriptive qualitative approach was used. The research was conducted over nine months, and data were obtained directly at the research site through observation and interviews with the crewing executive department, supported by documentation and a literature study. The results show that the crewing department has carried out the planning, organizing, actuating, and controlling functions in accordance with procedures; however, the preparation of the ship’s crew at the time of crew change (sign on/sign off) has not been optimal because of delays in certificate revalidation and medical check-ups, which causes losses in terms of time, effort, and company funds. An integrated, database-based monitoring system and improved crew discipline in meeting administrative requirements are recommended.

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.
