The characteristic, performance, accessibility, and prediction of cargo handling in Probolinggo New Terminal Port

Abstract

This study is designed to evaluate the two years of operation of the Probolinggo New Terminal Port. Meanwhile, the objective is to acknowledge the characteristics, performance, accessibility, and prediction of its loading and unloading of goods. In order to achieve it, it needs to acknowledge the characteristics of the port, prediction or projection of the ships traffic volume, and goods by using linear regression analysis and qualitative descriptive statistics. The findings show that the characteristics of the port have not yet become a pilotage compulsory port. The port infrastructures are already adequate. The capacity of the Probolinggo New Terminal Port is still categorized as small. The types of boat that load and unload the goods comprise of barges, motorized sailing vessels, motorized sailing boats, and ships. The volume of ship calls and volume of goods loading and unloading at the Probolinggo New Terminal Port are very fluctuating and unstable. The internal accessibility from and to the Probolinggo New Terminal Port is very good and easy, however, for external, there is an obstacle in the area of Klakah. The prediction or projection of ship calls and goods loading and unloading are increased. To the Probolinggo New Terminal Port, it is recommended to improve the port infrastructure and to immediately maximize the role of port information so that the users can be informed about the port’s profile and all facilities of goods loading and unloading.
