Abstract

The study is aimed to assess the navigation safety in the port surrounding the area as part of the Indonesian Government�s efforts to increase the port performance and minimize the cost of maritime logistics. The port navigation system and infrastructure such as vessels traffic management system, navigation lanes, port basin, quay, etc. play an important role in determining the productivity and efficiency of the port, especially in the busy port such as Tanjung Priok, Indonesia. Any accident would interrupt port activities and creates unnecessary costs. Formal Safety Assessment method, as introduced by the International Maritime Organization was implemented in the study. The assessment was carried out using qualitative and quantitative risks analyses, based on the available data and information gathered from various sources. It was identified that accidents occurred in the port waterfront were mainly due to the ships, environment, human factors, and management. Results of the assessment were then used as the basis for proposing an improvement strategy.

Highlights

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia is very much depended on the sea transportation system as part of the logistic chain and connectivity between its more than 17 000 islands
Port contributes to the development of trade, economy, and industry in its surrounding region, in order to minimize the costs of logistics, one of the approaches is through increasing the performance of the port
Following the five steps of Formal Safety Assessment introduced by the International Maritime Organization, the results of the assessment are: Hazards related to the potential accidents that may occur in the port of Tanjung Priok navigation area are collision, grounding, fire and explosion, sink, contact damage, engine failure, and others

Summary

Introduction

Indonesia is very much depended on the sea transportation system as part of the logistic chain and connectivity between its more than 17 000 islands. As part of sea transportation system port plays an important role in determining the costs of logistics. Port contributes to the development of trade, economy, and industry in its surrounding region, in order to minimize the costs of logistics, one of the approaches is through increasing the performance of the port. Port performance is very much determined by the smoothness of its operation, such as loading and unloading of cargo, movement, and arrangement of containers, vessels controlling traffic system, etc. One among other things is ship accidents in the port navigation area, such as port entrance and port basin, which could disturb port operation and cause unnecessary loss
