Dinova, Muhammad Dito Alfito. 2025. “The Effect of ORBIT System Implementation
on the Optimization of Cargo Handling and Port Operations in Muara Berau
Samarinda.”
This research aims to analyze the effect of the ORBIT system implementation on the
optimization of cargo handling and port operations in Muara Berau, Samarinda. ORBIT
is a web-based information system developed by PT. Pelabuhan Tiga Bersaudara in
accordance with the Minister of Transportation Regulation No. PM 8 of 2022, which
requires every Port Business Entity to have its own application. Integrated with the
national Inaportnet system, ORBIT is designed to enhance efficiency and transparency in
cargo handling processes. The study uses a quantitative descriptive approach. Data were
collected through questionnaires distributed to 61 respondents and analyzed using simple
linear regression. The results show that the ORBIT system has a significant impact on
optimizing cargo handling and port operations. This is evidenced by a coefficient of
determination value of 71.5%, indicating that ORBIT contributes 71.5% to operational
efficiency at the port. In conclusion, the implementation of the ORBIT system improves
speed, accuracy, and efficiency in cargo handling and ship schedule management at
Muara Berau. It is recommended that the system continue to be developed and optimized
to fully support port activities.
