Abstract

Abstract: Indonesia which consists of many islands has difficulty in establishing national distribution logistics. Because of the sea traffic expansion in Eastern part of Indonesia, the existing port is limited and cannot handle such a problem. To accommodate this problem, new port is built in Surabaya, East Java, Indonesia. However, the new port usually faces to handle an unlimited demand with limited resources. This paper evaluates the port productivity of container loading and unloading activities. Equipments used in container loading and unloading at this port include cranes and other equipments. Because of many complexities in the observed system, discrete event simulation is used to evaluate the terminal operation performance. The simulation results show that STS crane quantities and formations for loading and unloading activities are affecting the new port productivity.
