Designing Indonesian Liner Shipping Network

Abstract

Abstract:As the largest archipelago nation in the world, Indonesia's logistics system has not shown excellence according to the parameters of logistics performance index and based on logistics costs percentages from overall GDP. This is due to the imbalances of trading on the western and eastern regions in Indonesia, which impacts the transportation systems costs to and from the eastern regions. Therefore, it is imperative to improve the competitiveness of Indonesian maritime logistics through maritime logistics network design. This research will focus on three levels of decision making in logistics network design, which include type of ships in the strategic level, shipping routes in the tactical level, and container allocation in the operational level with implementing butterfly routes in Indonesia's logistics networking problems. Furthermore, this research will analyze the impact of Pendulum Nusantara and Sea Toll routes against the company profits and percentages of containers shipped. This research will also foresee how demand uncertainties and multi-period planning should affect decision making in designing the Indonesian Liner Shipping Network.

Indonesian Port Cluster Simulation Game: Understanding Complex System Through Simulation Game

“…The ports (and its adjacent industrial areas) used as a case study are the ports that have a significant contribution to container movement in Indonesia and are included in the Indonesian National Master Plan: Tanjung Priok, Tanjung Perak, Belawan, Kuala Tanjung, Pontianak, Kariangau, Makassar, and Bitung (Figure 3). The liner networks that linked those ports are based on a previous study in Indonesian liner shipping network design (Moeis et al, 2017).…”

“…In this context, the Indonesian Port Cluster is analyzed from several levels (sub-systems): the micro (A.O. Moeis & Goputra, 2015;Moeis et al, 2018), meso (Moeis, Zagloel, Hidayatno, Komarudin, & Guo, 2017), and macro levels (Moeis et al, 2020). Simulation Gaming is used as an integrative method to analyze these sub-systems comprehensively (as a gestalt).…”

Policy Analysis of Coastal-Based Special Economic Zone Development Using System Dynamics

“…Being the promising hub of the northeastern region of Indonesia, it goes without saying that Bitung is considered the potential primary motor of economic growth in that region. With its coastal characteristics, the development of Bitung SEZ (KKPIP, 2015) will attract more economic activities in that region and create the much-needed cargo that will be transported to the western part of Indonesia (Moeis et al, 2017).…”
