Fuel Theft, Law Enforcement, Sibolga PortAbstract
Ports, as vital national infrastructure, play a strategic role in Indonesia's logistics and energy distribution systems. However, increased economic activity at ports has also triggered criminal acts, including fuel theft, which impacts energy stability and national security. This study aims to analyze criminal law enforcement against fuel theft in the Port area of PT Pelindo Sibolga Branch and identify factors influencing its effectiveness. The method used is normative legal research with a statutory, conceptual, and case-based approach. Data collection techniques were conducted through a literature review of primary, secondary, and tertiary legal materials. The results show that although regulations such as the Criminal Code, Law No. 22 of 2001 concerning Oil and Gas, and Law No. 17 of 2008 concerning Shipping provide a sufficient legal basis, implementation of law enforcement in the field still faces obstacles such as a weak oversight system, limited coordination between officials, and low integrity and human resource capacity. This research contributes to the development of normative studies in the economic criminal law and port security sectors, emphasizing the importance of institutional synergy and the use of surveillance technology to prevent fuel theft at ports. The study's conclusions confirm that the effectiveness of criminal law enforcement is highly dependent on the quality of institutions and an integrated surveillance system. A digital-based and collaborative reformulation of law enforcement strategies is needed to strengthen the protection of national vital assets.
