The monopolistic condition of PT Pelindo (Persero) is the reason to discuss in this paper. Finding mind problem in normative construction to get some solution are also be a purpose of this article. A normative juridical research and a statutory approach was carried out to find legally what was wrong in the port management mechanism. The expected results are in the form of normative improvement efforts that can be made in an effort to increase competition in port services, particularly in regards to restoring the role of port authorities and affirming the regulation of the separation of roles between port authorities and port business entities.
