Abstract

PT Watu Ireng Sukses is a mining concession located in Jambi Province. It began operating in mid-2021 despite obtaining permits from 2019 that will end in 2032. The decision to start operations in 2021 was due to good prices that made it possible to start operations that year. In 2021-2023 the price of Coal was at its peak, and in 2022, precisely in March, with ICI-1 reaching $308.31. The steps include identifying major coal companies through thorough research, collecting data related to production, market share, mine location, infrastructure and other factors, then continuing with an analysis of the challenges they face, such as regulatory changes, decreased market demand and environmental problems. Responding to significant price changes, the Indonesian government took advantage of the situation in increasing government revenue from the Coal sector. Exactly 5 months after a very significant price increase, the government conducted an evaluation to increase the country's profits from this potential. PT WIS has sufficient coal reserve potential to expand additional production capacity, but all of it must go through processes such as project feasibility evaluation and environmental impact feasibility evaluation.

Abstract

The process of this research is to integrate the Fuzzy Analytic Hierarchy Process (FAHP) method and the Fuzzy Technique for Order Preference by Similarity to Ideal Solution (Fuzzy TOPSIS) by creating a strategic decision-making framework to optimize coal transportation modes in Jambi Province, Indonesia. An analysis of the inefficiency of coal transportation in Jambi was conducted due to the failure to achieve production targets, which were only 44-50% of the target set for 2022 and 2023.A thorough analysis has been conducted to determine both the criteria and sub-criteria for evaluating alternative coal transportation modes, starting from trucks using dedicated coal routes, combinations of trucks with dedicated coal trains, combinations of trucks with barges, and combinations of trucks with conveyors and barges. Underpinned by strong methodology controlling evaluation discrepancies and guaranteeing study validity, the approach included expert opinions from 25 stakeholders spanning government, industry, academia, and community sectors. Results reveal that at 38.5%, transportation costs are the most significant element; environmental impact follows at 27.3%; safety concerns at 19.8%; and time efficiency at 14.4%. Based on the analysis results, both through criteria weighing and testing against alternatives, it was found that the best mode of transportation is trucks using the special coal road. And it is recommended to consider the level of operational efficiency, reduction of environmental impact, and increasing regional competitiveness compared to other regions by selecting the most effective and strategic mode of transportation.
