Abstract: Transportation networks, like many other networks, are generally embodied as a set of locations and a set of links representing connections between those locations. The sea shipping transportation system, a type/form of transportation networks, refers to a network of specialized vessels, the ports they visit, and transportation infrastructure. This study attempted to identify structures of the existing sea shipping network of liner companies in Indonesia. The method used was the descriptive method, which involved observational studies of people in a sea shipping environment. They were surveyed and interviewed to collect the necessary information, in addition to analyzing the existing records of liner companies. Secondary data were given by Directorate General Sea and Transportation of Minister of Transportation of Indonesia. The results showed that more than 80% of liner companies in Indonesia implemented the hub and spoke call network, while others implemented the multicall network. As a maritime country, Indonesia should develop an integrated sea shipping network model to optimize the national logistic system.
