Abstract
This study analyzes the influence of maritime transportation costs, namely (connectivity and port infrastructure) on Indonesian exports to APEC member countries through sea transportation modes, using the gravity model approach. The method used is panel data regression with the Common Effect Model (CEM). The condition of maritime transportation in Indonesia shows that the presence of Asaz Cabotage can encourage the national shipping industry, even though export / import activities between countries are still dominated by foreign companies. Based on the estimation results show that the GDP of Indonesias per capita, GDP per capita of trading partner countries, economic distance, Quality of Port Infrastructure (QPI) and Shipping Bilateral Liner Connectivity Index (LSBCI) significantly affects the volume of Indonesian exports through sea transportation modes.
