Abstract

Ramadhan, Farhan 2025 “Optimization of Cargo Handling Equipment Availability and Port Area for Smooth Ship Operations at Semayang Port Balikpapan” This study aims to analyze and optimize the availability of cargo handling equipment and the operational layout of Semayang Port Balikpapan to enhance ship operational efficiency. The research employs a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through observation, literature review, and documentation. The findings reveal that the lack of cargo handling equipment and limited operational space are the primary constraints to port efficiency. Proposed solutions include implementing a Smart Equipment Management System (SEMS) for digitalized equipment management and a Zonal-Based Port Operational Layout (ZPOL) for spatial optimization. The implementation of these strategies is expected to reduce ship waiting times, improve cargo handling productivity, and support the transformation of Semayang Port into a smart port.
