Abstract
Ferry accidents often occur the result of ship handling difficulty which interfacing human, machine and environment. Therefore, a decision tool model as a comprehensive information system, based on the ship handling difficulty, needs to be developed through the combination of Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) and Fuzzy Logic System. The Fuzzy Logic System part consists of ship condition, ship handling facility condition, navigation condition and weather condition. The output of decision tool is the ship handling difficulty level in linguistic form. The simulation of model is conducted at several straits in Indonesia water. The decision tool model could be used as management information system by port authority to monitor the ferry/ship movement in real time regarding the ship handling difficulty. Further, it would be used to take some useful safety operation strategies and safety policies to improve ferry transportation safety at port water and strait water.
Highlights
The maritime transportation affects most of goods and passengers movement among islands in an archipelago country, Indonesia
Port of Padangbai (PAD) has highest ship handling difficulty value in any case followed by port of Lembar (LEM), port Gilimanuk (GIL) and port of Ketapang (KET)
In any cases, average value of SHDs showed that Lombok Strait has higher ship handling difficulty than Bali Strait
Summary
The maritime transportation affects most of goods and passengers movement among islands in an archipelago country, Indonesia. The most type of transportation means for this category use Ro-Ro ferries. It clarifies that Ro-Ro ferries during 2006-2010 have played very principal roles for serving ferry transportation means. In the writer’s opinion, the information system through decision support system in the complex criteria situation as consequences of ship handling difficulty is one challenge answer to minimize the potential of ship accident. The aim of this paper is to assess the ship handling level of ferry at several straits in Indonesia such as Bali Strait and Lombok Strait through the paper order of introduction, the overview of AHP FIS ship handling model, simulation result and conclusion
