Decision making of maritime development scenario on the impact of naval base for supporting navy ships operations

The Indonesian Navy is the spearhead in maintaining maritime security in Indonesian waters. In carrying out its main tasks, the Indonesian Navy has components of an Integrated Fleet Weapon System in which there are elements of Ships and Naval Bases. To ensure the effectiveness of carrying out operations by ship elements, ship operations are supported by the Naval Base as the organizer of the support function. Naval Base's carrying capacity consists of 5 (five) support functions, including: (1) support for anchoring facilities; (2) support for supply facilities; (3) support for maintenance and repair facilities; (4) support facility maintenance personnel; and (5) support for base development facilities. Naval Base does not yet have its dock to support anchoring facilities for ship operations. In addition to cooperation in the use of the Naval Base anchorage facility, there is also cooperation in port security, both in terms of land and port water aspects. As the number of ship visits at Naval Base Harbor increases, the dock utility increases. The increase in dock utility resulted in a decrease in port services which also resulted in a decrease in the Naval Base Carrying Capacity. To improve port services, Pelindo III implements the port development program contained in the Naval Base Port Master Plan in Permen KP number 792 of 2017. In this study, an analysis of the impact of the Naval Base Port development policy on the carrying capacity of the Naval Base was carried out. The data analysis uses System Dynamics modeling with a simulation period of 30 years in 3 development scenarios, namely short-term scenarios, medium-term scenarios, and long-term scenarios. From the simulation results, it is found that the construction of the Naval Base port affects the Naval Base Carrying Capacity with an average increase of 1.8% in each policy scenario. The increase in Naval Base Carrying Capacity has an effect on increasing Ship Operations by an average of 1.8% and also increasing the Security of Naval Base Harbor by an average of 0.14%. The results of the analysis of this study can be used as consideration for policymaking by the Navy.

Hindrances in port digitalization? Identifying problems in adoption and implementation

Digitalization has an impact on all domains of maritime transport and logistics. Ports’ ability to act as a part of digital networks and information chains is vital for its competitiveness. This requires means and prerequisites to integrate with contemporary technology platforms and system architectures. Such readiness should exist in different parallel processes taking place in organizations of port communities. Successful digitalization requires focused technology management ensuring system and data transfer interoperability. The paper addresses problems, obstacles, and hindrances that ports are currently facing in their digitalization efforts. Interoperability and stakeholder interaction is significant, particularly between the port management, municipal ownership, and business operators and vendors. In the contemporary port development, environmental regulations have an effect on the level and effectiveness of digitalization. The future development of port digitalization will be dependent on the port capabilities to adopt and implement reliable and adoptable technologies with clear vision of the future.

Side-scan sonar image processing: Seabed classification based on acoustic backscattering

The smoothness of vessel traffic flow is the most important thing in the shipping industry of port. Traffic problems are commonly solved by development and maintenance programs. Seabed conditions in the port-channel should be known to be considered in port development and maintenance programs related to port efficiency, safety navigation, and berthing. The objective of this paper is to characterize seabed into several classes of geological features. The Seabed condition and characteristics are classified based on image processing of side scan sonar data. The image processing will extract pixel value parameters; intensity, entropy, and standard deviation. Classification use combination of these pixel view parameter to define each class. Seabed classification has been successfully carried out in Teluk Bayur Port and classified into five classes, sandy silt, silty sand, fine sand, coarse sand, and rocks or reefs. Indication of crack or shallow structure was also identified. These results of classification are necessary to verify by sediment sampling and visual inspection, and then it should be reclassified to become a valid classification.

Policy Evaluation of Central Government and Local Governments in Untia Fishing Port Development

The fishing port as the basis for the capture fisheries sector has a very important role in the national economy. Since the inauguration in 2016 until now, Untia Makassar Fishing Port has not shown an increase in activity as expected. This research objective is to make an inventory of the regulations related to the Untia Fishery Port Management Policies and how is the implementation of the Untia Fishery Port Management Policies. This research uses a descriptive method with a qualitative approach. The sampling technique used was purposive sampling. The method of data collection is done by interview, participatory observation, documentation, and questionnaire. The results show that the Decree of the Minister of Marine Affairs and Fisheries of the Republic of Indonesia Number 74 / KEPMEN-KP / 2016 concerning the Management of Untia Fishery Ports has not succeeded in becoming a tool in increasing fisheries activities. Therefore, it is necessary to coordinate immediately with the Ministry of Administrative Reform - Bureaucratic Reform (Kemenpan-RB) so that the nomenclature of Untia fishery port managers can be immediately determined so that additional human resources and budgeting resources can be added. The efforts must be made so that policy implementation can be maximized in the community, namely (1) local government support for the initiation of the 30 GT ship to facilitate it to the fishery port for use and (2) local government support in the form of regulations for industrial entrepreneurs both in the ship supply industry as well as the marketing and distribution of fishery products to grow the fishery industry at the port of Untia.

The Study of Port Capacity Development Plan In Wosu

The development of the Wosu Port will be able to stimulate inter-regional trade and reduce logistics costs because goods from other islands to be marketed in Morowali Regency against agricultural goods from the hinterland of Wosu Bungku Barat Port can be sent directly to other islands. For this reason, data collection is needed so that it can be analysed for capacity development of Wosu Port. The purpose of this study is to determine the layout (lay out) of the Wosu Morowali Port and shipping lanes that are adjusted to the size of the draft ship plan, to determine the type and dimensions of the dock that are in accordance with the conditions in the Wosu area. The method used in this research is to conduct a field survey to collect primary data and secondary data obtained from websites that are processed using Ms Excel, Autocad, Ocean Data View. By knowing the topography, hydro-oceanography and economic data, alternative port development can be determined. This research produces topographic-bathymetric maps, water zoning maps, land and water DLKr / DLkp designs, short-term port development layouts where the planned jetty is a jetty which has a trestle length = 70 m and a width = 8 m having a pier floor elevation = 2 m and in areas with a depth of 10-15 m to allow general passenger / cargo ships (GT / DWT 500-1000 Ton) to dock.

Early Colliery Engines at Swansea, 1730 - c1840

In general terms, large scale exploitation of the south Wales coalfield did not start until the second quarter of the nineteenth century, well past the period where the Newcomen-type engine would have featured in colliery installations. However, the coal trade in those areas of the coalfield within easy reach of navigable rivers and seas developed much earlier and was well established by the Tudor period. The area in and around Swansea was one of these areas and by the seventeenth century was the UKs third largest coal exporting port. Development of the copper industry in the following century for which Swansea was renowned, encouraged further development of coal mining locally, bringing with it capital from external sources. From 1730 onwards, a significant number of Newcomen-type engines were erected locally and this account describes the background and context for the approximately 48 engines erected between 1730 and 1840.
