Abstract

This study aims to analyze the performance and port cost efficiency of bulk urea fertilizer unloading operations at Tanjung Emas Port, Semarang, by comparing three types of unloading equipment: conveyor, grab, and excavator. Data were collected through direct observation and documentation of operations on MV Soemantri Brodjonegoro (conveyor), MV Pusri Indonesia 1 (grab), and TB Del 02/BG Parta Jaya 3006 (excavator) during March–May 2025. Parameters measured include unloading productivity (MT/hour), effective berthing time, downtime percentage, and total port costs (berthage, pilotage, towage, unloading charges) based on Minister of Transportation Regulation No. PM 10 of 2021. Results show that the conveyor achieved the highest productivity at 109.79 MT/hour, followed by excavator at 104.156 MT/hour and grab at 101.006 MT/hour. The grab recorded the lowest downtime percentage (12%), while conveyor (19%) and excavator (18%) were higher. In terms of port cost, excavator was the most economical (IDR 21,549,045), followed by conveyor (IDR 25,337,476), with grab the highest (IDR 29,874,552). Unloading charges dominated more than 74% of total costs across all three methods. These findings provide strategic guidance in selecting unloading equipment based on operational priorities, whether speed or cost efficiency.

Abstract

The Port of Tanjung Emas in Semarang faces geotechnical challenges due to the prevalence of soft marine clay layers. This study employed an analytical-parametric computational method based on secondary data (desk study) synthesized from 15 indexed scientific publications (Scopus, SINTA, Google Scholar) from 2013 to 2024, covering geotechnical investigations at Semarang, Patimban, and Jakarta coastal areas. The analysis technique applied Terzaghi's one-dimensional consolidation equations with one-at-a-time (OAT) sensitivity analysis using the Normalized Sensitivity Index (NSI). All parameters were verified for physical consistency through soil phase relationships. Three scenarios, optimistic, realistic, and pessimistic, were analyzed. Results indicate a primary settlement range of 1.87–5.36 m for normally consolidated (NC) conditions and 1.11–3.83 m for overconsolidated (OC, OCR = 1.5) conditions. The 90% consolidation time without vertical drainage ranges from 9.5 to 88.3 years, while with 1.0 m-spaced Prefabricated Vertical Drain (PVD), it is reduced to 0.8–2.6 months. Estimated secondary compression adds 0.22–0.35 m in the optimistic and realistic scenarios. All scenarios exceed the maximum residual settlement limit of 300 mm per BS 6349 (BSI, 2021) and PIANC (2014) by 6–18 times. This study conclusively demonstrates that no construction scenario at Tanjung Emas Port is feasible without prior ground improvement, and the compression index (Cc) is the single most critical parameter (NSI = 1.00). Field validation is required.
