Abstract:
Nugroho, Seno Gayuh. 2025. “The Effect of Loading Delays and Berthing Schedules on
the Performance of Special Terminals at PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur”
This study analyzes the impact of loading delays and berthing schedules on the
performance of Special Terminals (Tersus) at PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur. Using a
quantitative approach, this research identifies key issues related to operational efficiency
and increased costs due to frequent delays in ship loading processes and berthing
schedules, which are also influenced by weather and environmental factors. Data was
collected through observation and documentation methods to analyze the relationships
between variables. The research results indicate that both loading delays and berthing
schedules partially have a significant influence on Tersus performance. Furthermore, the
analysis shows that these two factors, simultaneously, contribute significantly (96%) to
the Tersus performance variable. These findings confirm that loading delays and berthing
schedules effectively impact terminal performance. The implications of this research
highlight the need for PT Pupuk Kalimantan Timur to continuously monitor and optimize
loading and berthing scheduling processes to enhance operational efficiency and mitigate
potential losses.
