In recent years, the number of shipyards in Indonesia has increased significantly to anticipate the increasing demand and the government policy regarding the Cabotage Principles and Masterplan for Acceleration and Expansion of Indonesia’s Economic Development (MAEIED), and three Archipelagic Sea-Lanes (ASL’s) in Indonesia. However, shipbuilding and ship repair works have been centered in the western part of Indonesia. Therefore, this study aims to develop a potential strategy of shipyards in the eastern part of Indonesia to compete in the current market situation. The Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) method was used to model the strategy hierarchy and analyze the weight of sub-criteria as the internal and external factors of the shipyard competitiveness. Then, the Blue Ocean Strategy method was used to analyze the competitiveness strategy. To improve competitiveness, the shipbuilding industries in the eastern part of Indonesia have to focus intensively on reforming and upgrading several internal environment factors such as coordination and response, business network, high skill manpower, and complex ship types building ability. Besides, the shipyards also have to focus on external environmental factors, particularly on five factors that have a high influence on improving competitiveness, namely shipping company partners, networks and partnership with suppliers, government policies, human resource development, and cluster formation of shipyards.
Currently, the ship container generation has allowed for the carriage of containers on deck up to four tiers high. The container loads in tiers high affect on deck structure. Consequently, an insert plate is used and located on the top of the ship deck structure for placing the container corner fitting. Sometimes container fitting is placed between longitudinal deck beams under without supporting construction such as pillar or carling. Therefore, this matter should be analyzed to obtain the strength behavior of the insert plate. This study describes the strength analysis using the finite element method (FEM) through ANSYS software. Based on the simulation results, the maximum Von Mises stress of the insert plate was obtained exceeds 181 N/mm2 and 235 N/mm2 in the initial condition, whereas the insert plate could support only 15% loads per corner fitting (three tiers high). Then, the thickness addition of the insert plate until 24 mm reduced the stress, however, the reduction was a small magnitude. By adding two carling construction is similar to the size of a transverse deck beam, under the insert plate, the stress was obtained 138.54 N/mm2.
Maccini Baji port as minor port is a hub of small islands connectivities in Pangkejene and Kepulauan Regency, South Sulawesi. It has strategic role to serve cargo and passenger ship from not only small islands in Pangkejene and Kepulauan Regency but also from outside such as Papua, Maluku, and Nusa Tenggara Timur. Correspondingly, Maccini Baji port has faced the fluctuated increase of visited ships from 2011 to 2018 based on forecasting result by using stepwise and regression methods and has a good potential to be developed especially for cement cargo. This study describes analysis on port facility performance of Maccini Baji and its development. The research result has shown the berth occupancy ratio (BOR) of Maccini Baji port in 2022 will reach 61%. This has become a primarily point to consider in lengthening berth of Maccini Baji port. Therefore, the port berth of Maccini Baji should be lengthened 272 meters where existing berth length is 225 meters. In addition, basin and anchorage area will be also developed where the dimensions of turning basin will be 6 meters in depth, 121.8 meters in diameters, and its area will be 116 m2. The dimensions of anchorage area will be 6 metres in depth, and 105.9 meters in radius and its area will be 35.21 m2. Based on SWOT analysis, some aspects will be considered to succesfully develop Maccini Baji port such as geographic location, port facility improvement, increas of service capacity and facility efficiency, development of hinterland area, local government participation.
