PENGARUH POSISI SANDAR, JENIS MUATAN, DAN JUMLAH MUATAN TERHADAP LAMANYA KAPAL DI PELABUHAN OLEH PT. BAHARI EKA NUSANTARA CABANG BALIKPAPAN

Abstract

Hutabarat, Immanuel Jetro. 2025. ‘’Pengaruh Posisi Sandar, Jenis Muatan, dan Jumlah Muatan Terhadap Lamanya Kapal di Pelabuhan oleh PT. Bahari Eka Nusantara Cabang Balikpapan’’ This study aims to analyze the effect of berth position, cargo type, and cargo quantity on the duration of ships staying at the port managed by PT. Bahari Eka Nusantara, Balikpapan Branch. The main problems include suboptimal arrival and departure services, high vessel waiting time, and the inability to predict vessel stay duration. A quantitative approach using multiple linear regression analysis was applied. The population consisted of all ship arrival and departure data from August 2023 to August 2024. Samples were selected randomly from this data set. Data collection techniques included observation, documentation, and literature review. Data were analyzed using classical assumption tests (normality, multicollinearity, heteroscedasticity, autocorrelation), multiple regression, t-test, F-test, and coefficient of determination (R²). The results show that berth position, cargo type, and cargo quantity significantly affect the duration of ships in port. The coefficient of determination (R²) of 0.781 indicates that these three independent variables explain 78.1% of the variance in ship port duration. In conclusion, optimized berth positioning, appropriate cargo handling, and well-managed cargo quantity contribute to increased port efficiency. It is recommended that the company improve berth scheduling, expedite cargo documentation processes, and match loading/unloading equipment to cargo types.
