ABSTRACT : This study examines the implementation of Transportation Minister Regulation No. 58/2013 and its amendment No. 39/2021 concerning pollution prevention at Panjang Port, Bandar Lampung, Indonesia. Using qualitative methods and the Van Horn and Van Meter implementation model, the research analyzes policy implementation effectiveness, supporting and hindering factors, and proposes an enhanced implementation framework. Data was collected through interviews with key stakeholders from five institutions: Port Authority (KSOP), Naval Base (LANAL), Maritime Police (POLAIRUD), Ministry of Environment (KLHK), and Port Corporation (PELINDO). The findings reveal significant improvements in environmental compliance, with vessel compliance rates increasing from 65% to 87% between 2014-2023. Key success factors include strong inter-agency coordination, technological advancement, and community engagement. However, challenges persist in budget constraints, organizational culture differences, and technical capacity limitations. The study proposes an integrated implementation model incorporating transparency, accountability, and stakeholder participation principles. This research contributes to understanding maritime environmental policy implementation in developing nations while providing practical recommendations for enhancing pollution control measures at ports. The experience at Panjang Port demonstrates that successful environmental regulation implementation requires balancing economic, social, and environmental factors while maintaining strong stakeholder engagement and operational efficiency.
