Dispute between Central and Local Government on seaport management tends to be more frequent since the implementation of regional autonomy laws of 1999. The focal point of such conflict rests on how to evenly distribute the power and authority of seaport management among different level of government.

Learning from Canada’s experience, this paper offers legal interpretation and possible actions to solve either existing or prospective conflicts.
