OPTIMALISASI PENGGUNAAN CONTAINER YARD RONGGOWARSITO

Container Yard Ronggowarsito is a transportation hub in the form of a
container field located in Semarang, Central Java, managed by JO PT.B-Kalog.
This yard provides services for container shipments and storage. Companies need
to consider the capacity of the container yard to prevent overcapacity, which is
when the utilized capacity exceeds the available capacity. The aim of this research
is to assess the facility's conditions, analyze the future cargo volume, and find
solutions for optimizing the use of Container Yard Ronggowarsito.
This research employed a quantitative approach using three forecasting
methods, namely linear trend, quadratic trend, and exponential trend. The
quadratic trend method was selected as the most accurate for calculating the
container traffic volume for the next year, which resulted in 5,227 TEUs.
Subsequently, the Yard Occupancy Ratio was analyzed, and the findings showed a
74% value, classifying it as a high category, indicating the need for optimization in
the utilization of the container yard.The research findings indicated that the
facility's conditions at Container Yard Ronggowarsito are in good shape, with an
increasing cargo volume expected for the next year. Among the five proposed
schemes in the study, scheme 5 was selected as the most optimal, which involves
reducing the dwelling time to 3 days, increasing the stacking of containers to 4
stacks, and expanding the usage area of the container yard by 6,000 square meters.
This makes scheme 5 the most effective plan for the utilization of Container Yard
Ronggowarsito.
