Feasibility Analysis of Dock Capacity in Tanjung Tembaga Port (Probolinggo, East Java)

Abstract

As a maritime country and also as an archipelago country, Indonesia has many ports spread troughout its region. This makes sea transportation become the community’s choice, especially for shipping goods. This is because the load capacity is greater and the price is more efficient than land or air transportation. From time to time, sea transportation continous to grow. With an increase in the flow of ship visits and cargo flows, the port as a supporting facility for sea transportation is demanded to continue to be maximized in the services of these two things. This research aims to evaluate the feasibility of the dock capacity at the Tanjung Tembaga Port in Probolinggo, East Java. The evaluation process is carried out by processing ship visit data, then measuring the dimensions and capacity of dock, and finally looking for the value of Berth Occupancy Ratio (BOR). The result showed that ship visits in Tanjung Tembaga Port still tend to be low. Then for the BOR value, it is known that the level of dock usage in Tanjung Tembaga Port in 2021 is 68%. This value is still below the maximum BOR value, which means the addition of dock length is not needed.
