Abstract

As one of potential fishery areas in Natuna, the Integrated Marine and Fisheries Center (SKPT) has been producing the fishery commodities of 350,000 kg per month. Currently, SKPT Natuna is cooperating with Japan to export one of fishery products, which is frozen octopus. However, the existing export logistics system is considered ineffective and inefficient due to the higher logistics cost and higher lead time. This study aims to develop logistics system model with respect to obtain the optimum travel duration and the schedule of ship arrival at each transit point by considering minimum unit cost. The method used is the Shortest Path Problem [1] to optimize 24 cargo delivery schedules for one year so that the optimum routes defined are different for each delivery schedule depending on the availability of ship. The result shows the total duration of the delivery required is 32 days and the total shipping cost is Rp. 31,3 million/TEU. Thus, the optimum route obtained is able to reduce the shipping cost of frozen octopus by 45% and shorten the lead time by 15% compared to the current logistics system.
