Abstract

Port plays significant role in supporting economic growth of a country. This study aims to analyze the determinant of port performance in Indonesia. In this research, the ports selected are four main ports in Indonesia which are Port of Belawan, Port of Tanjung Priok, Port of Tanjung Perak, and Makassar. These ports are designed as the hub ports in the national sea transport system of the country. The study used pooled OLS as the methodology to analyze the determinant. The result of this studies shows that total traffic is not influenced by operating surplus per ton, whereas the rest of variables such as turnaround time, idle time, berth of occupancy rate, rate of return, number of employee and cargo equipment have significant results and significantly influenced the total traffic.

Bahasa Abstract

Pelabuhan mempunyai peran penting dalam mendukung pertumbuhan ekonomi suatu negara. Tujuan diadakannya penelitian ini adalah untuk menganalisis faktor penentu kinerja pelabuhan di Indonesia. Dalam penelitian ini, empat pelabuhan utama dipilih sebagai sampel, yaitu Pelabuhan Belawan, Pelabuhan Tanjung Priok, Pelabuhan Tanjung Perak, dan Makassar. Penelitian ini menggunakan metoda OLS sebagai metodologi untuk menganalisis determinan. Hasil dari penelitian ini menunjukkan bahwa Total Traffic tidak dipengaruhi oleh Operating Surplus per Ton. Sementara itu, variabel-variabel lainnya yang digunakan seperti average ship turnaround time, idle time, berth occupancy rate, rate of return, number of employees dan cargo equipment terbukti memberikan pengaruh yang signifikan terhadap Total Traffic.
