Abstract

This study examines the influence of ship maintenance and spare-part availability on the operational continuity of the AHTS Transko Andalas, operated by Pertamina Marine Solutions. Using a qualitative-descriptive approach with supportive quantitative indicators, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, questionnaires, onboard observations, and document analysis. The Spare-Parts Readiness Index (SPRI) and Planned Maintenance Compliance (PMC) were applied to measure vessel preparedness. Results revealed that both maintenance and spare-part availability positively and significantly impact operational continuity, though challenges remain in procurement delays, critical maintenance compliance, and workforce competence in predictive diagnostics. Thematic analysis highlighted procurement bottlenecks, maintenance execution gaps, and human resource limitations as recurring barriers. Findings contribute to maritime operations management, shipping sustainability, and vocational education by demonstrating the interdependence of technical and human factors in sustaining offshore vessel reliability. The study emphasizes the urgency of integrated procurement reforms, condition-based maintenance, and workforce training to achieve sustainable maritime operations.

Abstract

This qualitative research investigates the critical factors inhibiting ship arrival efficiency and their impact on shipping agency performance at PT. Berkah Tata Baruna Banten Branch. Through comprehensive interviews with maritime professionals, port operators, and agency management, the study examines three primary variables: pilot tugboat services, cargo loading-unloading productivity, and document processing efficiency. Utilizing thematic analysis and narrative synthesis, findings reveal significant operational integration challenges that directly affect agency performance metrics. The research demonstrates that synchronized maritime service delivery substantially influences stakeholder satisfaction and business sustainability. Results indicate that technological integration barriers, communication gaps, and human resource development needs constitute primary obstacles to optimal port performance. Beyond identifying constraints, the study highlights how fragmented coordination between service providers creates inefficiencies that extend vessel turnaround times and increase operational costs. Respondents emphasized that transparent communication channels, standardized documentation procedures, and adequate training programs are essential to building resilient port systems. Moreover, the research shows that investment in digital platforms for real-time data sharing could accelerate clearance processes, while workforce development initiatives would ensure higher service reliability. The study contributes theoretically by developing frameworks of integrated maritime service performance and practically by offering policy-oriented recommendations to strengthen agency competitiveness. Overall, the findings provide valuable insights for stakeholders seeking to enhance Indonesia’s maritime logistics capacity, aligning operational improvements with the nation’s broader economic and global shipping ambitions.
