Keywords:
Equipment, Performance;, Facilities;, Container Terminal;, Loading and Unloading;, Port EfficiencyAbstract
This study aims to analyze the optimization of equipment and facility performance in enhancing the effectiveness of container loading and unloading processes at PT IPC TPK Area Teluk Bayur, West Sumatra. The effectiveness of loading and unloading activities plays a crucial role in supporting the smooth flow of both domestic and international logistics, making the role of equipment and facilities highly significant. This research employs a quantitative approach with a descriptive method. Data were collected through a Likert-scale questionnaire distributed to 50 respondents consisting of employees involved in planning, operational control, and units responsible for utility and facility management at PT IPC TPK Area Teluk Bayur. The sampling technique applied was saturated sampling, in which the entire population was used as respondents. Data analysis was conducted using Structural Equation Modeling Partial Least Square (SEM–PLS) with SmartPLS 4 software. The findings reveal that the performance of equipment and facilities has a positive and significant effect on the effectiveness of container loading and unloading activities. The results highlight the importance of optimization strategies through regular maintenance, facility improvement, and strategic investments in modern technology to strengthen operational efficiency and the competitiveness of the port in a sustainable manner.
