“…The Sumatra and Java regions represent Indonesia's economic corridor. Sumatra is perceived as the national plantation and processing industry, while Java is considered to be an innovative cyber technology and services center [4,5]. The high volume of logistics distributive activities between these two areas is boosted by the transport system operating on the Merak-Bakauheni crossing [6].…”

As an archipelagic country, Indonesia needs ferry transportation to connect and support the economic activities between areas bounded by the sea. The famous crossing route is the Merak–Bakauheni one, which connects the Java and Sumatra economic corridors. Many ships operate on this route, but limited port facilities significantly affect the efficiencies of the services provided, hence, they have to be moved. Therefore, this research analyzed the suitability of ships to operate on the eastern crossing. The analysis method used the financial aspect (revenue) feasibility, the suitability of the port infrastructure, and the oceanographic conditions. The financial analysis used the ships’ operating cost method to determine the crossing passage rates based on their specifications. It simulated the ships with various load factors to identify potential gains or losses. Furthermore, the infrastructure suitability analysis used the under keel clearance and comparative methods to compare the suitability of the ship dimensions and tonnage with the port infrastructure capacity. The oceanographic analysis used the Weibull method to simulate the redefinition of the distribution of significant wave heights, which was compared with the ratio of the ship dimensions and wave slope to determine its heel angle using the IMO Weather Criterion method (IS Code 2008). The results showed that the relocation of ships from the Merak–Bakauheni route directly to Eastern Indonesia through the existing crossing routes is feasible from the aspect of shipping safety, but it is not feasible financially or in terms of infrastructure. The Benoa–Labuan Bajo route is a potential new route recommendation, with regulatory support for the operation of ships in the form of tariffs and operational costs, and it permits the use of subsidized fuel. On the other hand, ship owners must consider modifying the ramp door to suit the port wharf structure.

“…Sea transportation becomes very important in supporting the distribution of commodities produced by a region as describe by Jinca in Sunarto (Sunarto, 2014). The availability of facilities and infrastructure in order to continuity of goods distribution become one of the strategic roles in supporting the economic development of the region and will ultimately have an impact on the increase of income and the economy of society (Sinaga, et al, 2018). Optimization of Tanjung Ringgit port is expected to support the implementation of sea tollway program to guarantee the distribution of goods (port to port).…”

Improvement of connectivity between islands known as the sea Tollway initiative has minimized pricing inequalities and improved connection in poor, remote, outer, and border areas. The biggest challenge to implementing the Program of Sea Tollway are port infrastructure readiness, collector and feeder ports for the movement of goods into a node. Tanjung Ringgit Port must serve as a feeder port for Makassar's main port to support the program. The approach used in this research is quantitative. Data collection consists of primary data through interviews, field observations and secondary data. This research used port performance analysis to analyze the needs of port performance facilities such as container field facilities, warehouses and jetty, and SWOT analysis to determine port development policies and strategies. The findings of the study show that more warehouse space will be required until 2035. The development strategy of port capacity and facilities is done by changing patterns of shipments, a dedicated terminal for large volume cargo, infrastructure development, equipment and container stevedoring, warehouse replacement truck losing systems.
