The Port of Tanjung Priok will see continued positive growth in 2016, building on momentum from last year. For annual tonnage throughput we forecast a robust 6.0% growth and a more sedate 2.6% for container throughput. Indonesia's other major port, Palembang, will also record positive growth in 2016, albeit at slightly slower rates compared to 2015, with 3.5% growth in annual throughput and 5.3…
The performance of marine terminals has generally been evaluated by comparing their actual throughputs with their optimum throughputs. The engineering approach that generally has been used to determine optimum throughputs may be appropriate when terminals have natural hinterlands. In a deregulated (competitive) environment in which the natural hinterlands of marine terminals have become diffuse…
We propose a new approach to forecasting total port container throughput: to generate forecasts based on each of the port’s terminals and aggregate them into the total throughput forecast. We forecast the demand for total container throughput at the Indonesia’s largest seaport Tanjung Priok Port, employing SARIMA, the additive and multiplicative Seasonal Holt-Winters (MSHW) and the Vector E…
This paper presents an integrated forecasting model based on the TEI@I methodology for forecasting demand for port logistics services – specifically, port container throughput. The model analyzes port logistics time series data and other information in several steps. In the first step, several econometric models are built to forecast the linear segment of port logistics time series. In the se…
The aim of the present paper is to explain the Mediterranean Transhipment Rule by a mathematical model showing the relationship between the diversion distance and the transhipment volumes, as well as the relationship to the total container tra c volume. Thus, the formula was applied to the ® gures achieved in 1994, 1995 and 1996. To conform with 1994, 1995 and 1996 data the formula was sligh…
Aggregate comparisons of the efficiency of container ports using techniques such as Data Envelopment Analysis usually rely on the number of Twenty-foot Equivalent Units (TEUs) moved across the quay face per year to provide the measure of output from which to derive efficiency measures
Aggregate comparisons of efficiency between container ports and between container terminals routinely adopt frontier analysis techniques such as Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). This is a frontier-based, non-parametric means of comparing the efficiency of a set of Decision Making Units (DMUs) with common sets of multiple inputs and outputs. It does not require the specification of a production …
Seamless transfer of electronic information/data between ship-to-shore and vice versa and between ship-to-ship and shore-to-shore is being developed in the IMO e-Navigation strategy implementation plan (SIP). We have been focused on wireless LAN for ship-to-ship radiocommunication. In a former field radiocommunication trial, omni-directional antennas were used and a few hundred kbps throughput …
We apply intervention analysis to examine the impact of the financial tsunami on container throughputs for Hong Kong port quantitatively. Evidences from ARIMA-intervention model show that the real impact of the financial tsunami on Hong Kong port happened earlier than the observable fall in the throughput data, namely significant impact started around May 2008, while the forecasting model with …
The purpose of this paper is to analyze the applicability of lean accounting and throughput accounting in a company with considerable investments in advanced manufacturing technology (AMT).
Containerization is one of the important factors for Thailand’s economics. However, forecasts of container throughput growth and development of Bangkok Port, the significant port of Thailand, have been scant and the findings are divergence. Moreover, the existing literature emphasizes only two forecasting methods, namely time series and regression analysis. The aim of this paper is to explore…
