JAKARTA - The harbormaster and airport officers at the fishery port are ready to oversee 24 hours of post-production non-tax state levies (PNBP). In addition, they are also the spearhead in the implementation of measurable fishing (PIT).

Acting Director General of Capture Fisheries Agus Suherman said the role of the harbormaster in fishing ports was very strategic both before the ship sailed and docked to land fish.

"The harbormaster and security officers at the fishing port must know for sure the production of each ship, both the number and type of fish. They must be ready 24 hours to provide services. Therefore, it is necessary to regulate the distribution of their work," he said in a written statement, quoted Monday, July 17.

Agus said that his party would continue to increase the number of physical needs and safety officers at the fishery port.

Not only that, the increase in competence and quality of human resources will also continue to be carried out to support the implementation of measurable fishing and post-production PNBP.

On the same occasion, the Director of Aquaculture, Tri Aris Wibowo, said that the harbormaster at the fishery port was assisted by airport officers in carrying out its duties. One of them plays a role in prioritizing sailing safety and security.

"With its crucial duties and functions, it is necessary to add human resources. For this reason, this training is carried out in order to fulfill the human resources of the Harbormaster officers at the fishery port," he said.

The training, which has been going on for 5 days since July 10, is the seventh training since it was first implemented in 2022.

The implementation of the training is in collaboration with the BPPSDMKP Training Center, Marine Counseling and Fisheries, as well as the Enabling Transboundary Cooperation for Sustainable Management Of The Indonesian Seas (ISLME Project) GEF-5.

Previously, the Minister of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) Sakti Wahyu Trenggono said the fishing port was a central point for the implementation of measurable fishing and post-production PNBP. For this reason, it is necessary to prepare a Syahbandar HR at a reliable, capable, and capable fishing port to oversee the implementation of the program.
