Indonesia is divided into West, Central, and East regions, with different prices of basic commodities. However, eastern Indonesia is several times more expensive than in other regions. Therefore, this study aims to determine the ability of the Sea Toll to reduce the high-cost economy of transporting goods to Eastern Indonesia. It also aims to determine the advantages and disadvantages of the current performance of the sea toll for all regions. This is a normative legal research, comprising of primary and secondary data analyzed descriptively using the qualitative method. The result showed that the sea toll concept is the most ideal for achieving the Government's goal concerning reducing the high cost of shipping goods to Eastern Indonesia. This is because the distribution of goods is faster by cutting a lot of bureaucracy and transit areas, therefore, the travel time is short, due to the numerous transit places used to get to their destination. Secondly, sea tolls play a significant role as an alternative to support the smooth transportation of goods and services, therefore it needs to be supported by good regulations and a sea toll supervisor for its operation. The benefits of operating the sea tolls have been felt by the people of the eastern region and other regions with a decrease in the price of basic goods. Therefore, it can be stated that the objectives of the sea tolls have been fulfilled, specifically in terms of the equality and balance in the price of basic commodities in Indonesia, especially the eastern region, therefore a social society can be achieved. © 2021 AME Publishing Company.
