Abstract

Sorong local port is one of the ports in Sorong City that provides services for pioneer ships, machine-sail ships, and fast passenger ship for tourists. Currently, mooring locations for the pioneer ships and machine-sail ships are nearby the mooring location of fast passenger ships. This condition affects the safety and amenities of passengers, mainly when the loading and unloading of cargoes and passengers take place at the same time. Besides, their ave not been proper supporting facilities such as passenger terminal, warehouse, and parking area. Therefore, this research aims to analyze the performance of existing facilities and the required capacity of supporting facilities for service improvement purposes. Some methods are being applied to assess the performance of berth (Berth Occupancy Ratio or BOR), passenger terminal, and warehouse (Shed Occupancy Ratio or SOR). The result shows that the ship calls grow by 13.33 % annually, where the highest number of visiting ships is the fast passenger ship (47.62%). Current BOR of Sorong local port can reach up to 77.88 %, which is higher than the standard BOR 70 %, while SOR of the warehouse is 20.98 %, which indicates that the utility of the warehouse is low. In the meantime, the required area for the passenger terminal is 617 m2.
