Abstract

Siam Nurrohman, Andre. 2025. "Port Master Plan Preparation Strategy for Optimizing Buli Port Facilities in East Halmahera Regency, North Maluku Province” Buli Port, located in East Halmahera Regency, is operational but currently lacks a Port Master Plan (RIP) document. This absence has resulted in low utilization, as indicated by a BOR of 1.08%, SOR of 0%, and YOR of 0%. In contrast to previous studies that primarily focused on the physical aspects and operational performance of the port, this research explores the formulation of an RIP document as a strategic approach to optimize the use of port facilities. A descriptive qualitative method was employed, supported by quantitative data. The analysis involved measuring utility indicators and formulating strategies using SWOT analysis. The results led to the development of an strategy, which leverages internal strengths such as the presence of the R62 pioneer ship route (route B) and the good condition of port facilities alongside external opportunities, including the potential of key commodities and the existence of the Buli Industrial Estate. This study concludes that the preparation of the Buli RIP document is essential. Therefore, it is recommended that the government promptly develop and formalize the Buli RIP to enhance the port’s operational performance.
