## 2 The Indonesian \"Sea Toll\" Program  
In the national logistic system, the pattern of distribution networks between maritime territories, maritime industries, and ports has undergone many developments to support the economic growth of a region. Seaports in Indonesia are still largely conventional, especially in eastern Indonesia. The ineffectiveness of costs and time operational seaports in some areas of Indonesia also influences the distribution pattern and prices of commodity in Indonesia. Therefore, the implementation of the Indonesian \"sea toll\" program (to improve the nation's economic growth, especially through optimization of the seaport system) is crucial. The Indonesian government, especially President [PERSON], has been running the \"sea toll\" program for several years (see Figure 1). This program is an effort by President [PERSON] to provide a maritime transport network, together with subsidies and the improvement of port facilities. It is expected to reduce logistics costs and make prices of commodities cheaper. In addition, since the ships are now well scheduled, it is expected that any development can be implemented quickly. The first \"sea toll\" system was introduced by the United States government about eight years ago, based on America's Marine Highway Report to Congress [14], submitted by U.S. Department of Transportation, Maritime Administration. In America's Marine Highway program there are some benefits that have not been fully recognized in current transportation planning and investment decisions. These include assistance for new and existing ships; useful maritime work for the nation in times of peace and national emergency; reduction of and immediate relief from surface transport congestion (especially on routes that provide ground access to urban ports); enhanced, abundant and cost-effective new cargo capacity; reduction of costs in maintenance and repair of roads and bridges; and the creation of a diverse and more resilient transportation system. In its implementation, the sea transportation system in the territory of Indonesia is divided into two service groups, namely containerization services and passenger and cruise services. Container services are specific to the delivery of commodities or products in large quantities between regions, while the passenger and cruise services service is specifically for passenger transportation services between islands or regions in Indonesia. Sea Toll System for Container Services: Description, Definitions and Supporting Variables Introduction  
The implementation of the \"sea toll\" program began with the establishment of five main ports in Indonesia as regional hub ports. The role of these five main ports, later as the main transit port for commodity distribution around the remote islands. Data on the distribution of the total cargo for each port are shown in Table 1. Western ports such as Tanjung Priok and Tanjung Perak, still dominate the amount of cargo each year especially Tanjung Priok port because because it is Indonesia's main port in the center of business and government. This shows that port competitiveness is still dominant in the western region, especially Java, while the outer and eastern island regions, in particular, still do not function optimally within the \"sea toll\" program. Figure 1: Indonesian Main Sea-Corridor [13]. In the element of the sea toll system, especially container services, there are five supporting variables as shown in Figure 2. These variables are related to a reliable port, cargo adequacy transported both from the west to the east of Indonesia and vice versa, Shipping Industry, effective Inland Access and Scheduled routine shipping. Reliable ports are one of the important variables in the container service sea toll system, just as how port authorities and stakeholders involved in carrying out port service systems effectively and efficiently are the key to port performance.
