Analisis Kuantitatif Faktor Sumber Daya dan Teknologi terhadap Keselamatan Pelayaran Maritim di Indonesia

Abstract

Maritime safety is a crucial aspect and occupies a central position in all maritime operations, especially for Indonesia as an archipelagic country that heavily relies on sea transportation. A lack of knowledge about safety tends to result in material loss, medical issues, and loss of life, demanding extra attention as the number of maritime accidents increases. This study aims to analyze the influence of independent variables on Shipping Safety (Y) at the Tanjung Emas Semarang Port Authority Office (KSOP). The independent variables tested are Crew Resources (X_1), Telecommunication Equipment (X_2), and Pilotage (X_3). Using a quantitative approach with Multiple Linear Regression analysis on 100 respondents (operational staff and captains), the F-test results confirm that X_1, X_2, and X_3 simultaneously have a positive and significant effect on Shipping Safety. Furthermore, the T-test results show that Telecommunication Equipment (X_2) has the highest and most dominant influence compared to other variables in affecting Shipping Safety. The Adjusted R^2 value of 0.619 indicates that 61.9% of the variation in Shipping Safety can be explained by these three factors. This finding provides empirical validation emphasizing the technological imperative in modern port risk management, guiding policies toward prioritizing investment in communication devices to enhance maritime safety performance.
