Synchronization Model of Sea Transport Scheduling of Pioneer Ship and Sea Toll: Case Study at Maluku

Abstract

Sea transportation is the only vessels connected to islands in Indonesia, especially Pioneer Shipping that has an important role to connect the smaller and isolated islands to reduce price disparity. Pioneer shipping becomes a Feeder Vessel from Sea Toll and Pelni Passenger Ship that must be maintained reliability of scheduling accuracy in accordance with ministerial regulation number 37 of 2015. The aim of this research is to create a model of synchronization ship scheduling that considers to the arrival of the main ship (sea toll and pelni passenger ship) with feeder vessel (pioneer shipping) that can determine the impact financially for users (passengers and shipper) and ship operators. Agent-based simulation methods are used in this research to obtain scheduled arrivals and departures of ships using AnyLogic Software 8.7.4 (Personal Learning Edition). Therefore, schedule is considering the synchronization between the departure and arrival of the main ship (sea toll transportation and passenger transport) with the feeder (pioneering transport) ship.
