The first article, The Application of Shipping Governance in the Management of Small E-Pas Outlet in Pangkil Village, Bintan Regency, explores how principles of shipping governance can be applied to strengthen the management of small-scale maritime service outlets in Pangkil Village. The authors highlight the relevance of institutional arrangements, service procedures, and local operational capacity in supporting more accountable and efficient maritime-related services at the village level. The second article, Philosophical Risk Transformation: A Systematic Review From Protection to Radical Adaptation in Indonesian Coastal Ontology, examines how the understanding of coastal risk in Indonesia has shifted conceptually from a protection-oriented approach toward more transformative and adaptive thinking. Through a systematic review, the study maps key ideas and debates that shape how coastal communities and policymakers frame vulnerability, resilience, and long-term adaptation. The third article, Optimizing of Integrated Port Infrastructure Design to Improve Maritime Logistics Efficiency in Eastern Indonesia, discusses strategies for improving logistics performance by optimizing integrated port infrastructure planning in Eastern Indonesia. The paper emphasizes the importance of coordination across port components, connectivity, and design efficiency to reduce bottlenecks and strengthen regional maritime supply chains. The fourth article, A 30 - Year Climatological Analysis of Atmospheric Dynamics Anomalies during CENS in Western Indonesia, presents a long-term climatological assessment of atmospheric dynamics anomalies associated with CENS over Western Indonesia. The authors underline how multi decadal analysis can support better climate understanding and provide a foundation for improved environmental planning and risk awareness. The final article, Evaluation of Compliance with IMO FAL Regulations in International Shipping Standards: A Comparative Study between Indonesia and Singapore, evaluates the extent of compliance with IMO FAL regulations by comparing practices and standards between Indonesia and Singapore. The study draws attention to administrative facilitation, documentation procedures, and harmonization challenges that influence the efficiency of international shipping operations.
