Abstract Indonesia is the largest archipelago country in the world. This makes vessel the most widely used means of transportation to distribute energy in this country. As a state-owned energy company in Indonesia, Pertamina has a responsibility to distribute energy all over the country. There are 1479 voyage orders/month using 209 ports to distribute the energy. The problem is an inefficient port utilization that makes high vessel delay and high integrated port time. Vessel delay in 2018 is 49.6 days equal to USD 278,102.
Based on that problem, Pertamina carried out Integrated Port Management (IPMAN) in the middle of 2018. It is used to monitor Pertamina’s marine operations, which include the movement and activities of vessel and ports. The aim is to provide real-time operational information and to improve vessel and port performance. We used technology to support this. With the new IPMAN technology, users at ports can access the system every day, anytime, anywhere to make Digital Voyage Orders (tracking orders), track activities and real-time ship positions, produce documents and reports in digital format, schedule ships mooring digitally, and have real-time Integrated Port Time (IPT). Meanwhile, for the captain and the crew, IPMAN is useful for notification of voyage orders from Pertamina, status updates, and vessel activity in real time, making noon reports online, submitting ETA and ATA in real time, notification of ship mooring schedules, and developing a pumping log report digitally.
IPMAN technology has merged many applications for same business processes. With the launch of IPMAN, we eliminate seven other applications. With the IPMAN technology, Pertamina’s shipping staff and other related parties can be connected easily.
By the end of Oct 2019, we can cut 40% the vessel delay (from 49.6 days to a dramatic jump at 29.6 days), so we can gain efficiency USD 95,886.
