Ministry of Transport Strengthens Maritime Service Digitalisation via MaritimHub

Jakarta (ANTARA) - The Ministry of Transport (Kemenhub) is strengthening the digitalisation of national maritime services through the development of the MaritimHub platform, which is integrated with an electronic payment system to improve efficiency, transparency, security, and ease of access to services. Director General of Sea Transportation at Kemenhub, Muhammad Masyhud, stated that this effort involves partnering with PT Finnet Indonesia through the signing of a Cooperation Agreement concerning the Provision of Payment Gateway Services for Online Payment Receipt on the MaritimHub Digital Platform. “This collaboration is a concrete step in the digital transformation of the public service sector for Indonesian sea transportation,” Masyhud said in his statement in Jakarta on Thursday. He believes this synergy marks an important milestone in efforts to modernise the payment system in the national maritime sector. Masyhud stated that service digitalisation would be incomplete without being supported by a secure, reliable, and integrated payment system. It was explained that MaritimHub is an integrated service and data portal developed by the Directorate General of Sea Transportation to unify various maritime services within a single digital platform. Through the integration of payment gateway services on the MaritimHub digital platform, the public and business players in the maritime sector can now carry out electronic payment transactions through various available channels. He emphasised that with this service, the payment process will be more practical, fast, and secure, and can be done anytime and anywhere.
