Abstract
Indonesia which consists of many islands has difficulty in establishing national distribution logistics. Because of the sea traffic expansion in Eastern part of Indonesia, the existing port is limited and cannot handle such a problem. To accommodate this problem, new port is built in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. However, the new port usually faces to handle an unlimited demand with limited resources. This paper evaluates the port productivity of container loading and unloading activities. Equipments used in container loading and unloading at this port include cranes and other equipments. Because of many complexities in the observed system, discrete event simulation is used to evaluate the terminal operation performance. The simulation results show that STS crane quantities and formations for loading and unloading activities are affecting the new port productivity.
Highlights
Port terminal logistic research is done by many academics and researchers
The novelty of this research is the implementation of crane decision to ship to shore operation in an uncertain environment at new port labelled as an eco-green port
Ships that dock at the pier will be regulated by the amount of equipment to be used in container loading and unloading activities
Summary
Port terminal logistic research is done by many academics and researchers. This problem is so complex that using a mathematical model needs to be done with careful planning. The other research use mathematical model due to without stochastic settings to understand the behaviour the crane strength in a ship to shore operation [3] Another analytical research study a new port development with limited capacity to handle the increaseing demand [6]. Some of the port should manage their environment to lower their pollution [7] From this perspective, there is a limited study about crane availabilities in a ship to shore operations at a new port that performs an eco-green labelled port. There is a limited study about crane availabilities in a ship to shore operations at a new port that performs an eco-green labelled port This kind of novelty is used in this research. The research assumptions are (1) the service operational activity is working normally, (2) the berthing time is the same, (3) there are no break down and maintenance activity in the crane, (4) the unloading rate is constant, and (5) the ship delivery time is in stochastic settings
