This paper outlines the development of an analytical model of multimodal, multi-commodity freight transportation in Indonesia. The model is used to evaluate strategic planning of inter-island freight transportation. The demand for inter-island freight transportation is estimated using econometric demand models which account for the socio-economic c...

... Trans Java Toll Roads development will also improve the inland transportation network, but its impact will not be as substantial as the railways development since the toll roads are less cost effective than railways and mainly improve capacity in the northern area. Figure 8. Implementation of hub-spoke ports with 15 hubs As seen in Figure 10 the Trans Sumatera Railway development will substantially reduce the total system cost of inland freight transportation. This is mainly due to the high cost efficiency of railways and the policy will divert a substantial portion of inter-island road freight traffic to railways especially for longer distance traffic. ...

... performance of inter-island network will be improved by the implementation of hub ports together with designated spokes as feeder to the hubs. The implementation of the 9-hub system, as seen in Figure 11, results in lower system costs than the 15-hub system which suggests that more hubs do not necessarily mean more efficient inter-island port system.

... Goods transportation, especially in the archipelago, played an important role because it related to economic aspects. The problem was that the goods transportation between islands had not been managed effectively and efficiently, causing high transportation costs [3]. The problem of freight transportation and inter-island freight transportation occurred in many areas/regions in various developing countries, including Indonesia [3,4,5], Trinidad and Tobago [6], and Bangladesh [7]. ...

This study aimed to build a route choice model for inter-island freight transportation with a case study on the Ambon Island-Seram Island corridor in the Maluku archipelago. In this corridor,2 routes can be traversed by distribution actors, namely through the Hunimua-Waipirit crossing (Route I) and the Hunimua-Amahai crossing (Route II). In this regard, this study tried to record the preferences of distribution actors through the Conditional Logit Model (CLM) approach. This study analyzed several attributes of distribution actors, goods and services of transportation modes/routes, namely age (X 1), income (X 2), vehicle age (X 3), travel time (X 4), travel costs (X 5), the value of goods (X 6), weight of goods (X 7), waiting for time (X 8) and frequency of trips (X 9), respectively. Data was collected using the revealed preference-based interview method. The results showed that the attributes that significantly influenced the choice of the route were travel time, travel costs, waiting time, and travel frequency. The resulted model was useful for stakeholders in estimating the level of infrastructure needs and the operational pattern of ferry transportation to ensure the smooth distribution of goods between islands.
... Indonesia is projected to become an economically advanced country in 2025 and national economic mobility cannot depend on the highway network alone. A hypothetical study on multimodal transportation networks in Indonesia demonstrated that railway network development will reduce the inland transportation cost and induce some benefit to the interisland transportation network (Sjafruddin et al. 2010). For the rail transportation sector, the Indonesian Railway Company (PT Kereta Api Indonesia) has four main businesses, namely: passenger and freight services in Java islands; coal freight in South Sumatera; and passenger service in Greater Jakarta (including Jakarta, Bogor, Tangerang and Bekasi -JABOTABEK) (Van der Ven 2009). ...
... There were few studies addressing rail freight in Indonesia (e.g. Lubis & Nurullah 2007;Sjafruddin et al. 2010) but none focus on rail freight capacity. ...
Rail is being promoted to play an increasing role in reducing the external cost of freight transportation globally. This is especially the case for nations with high economic growth, such as Indonesia, which require a reliable and efficient transportation system to support global logistics. Ironically, rail freight services in Indonesia have been in decline for more than a decade due to a number of factors including the prioritization of passenger services and strong competition from the road sector. This paper aims to provide a platform for empirical research contextualizing a rail capacity framework, to be applied to the Indonesian system, with a focus on freight services. A desktop review of methodologies employed for capacity evaluation was carried out, in order to identify the most suitable approach for Indonesia. The application of these methodologies will assist in determining current capacity – utilized and unutilized – the results from which can be exercised in future strategic planning.
... However, when simulating cargo transportation for an island, this only considered land mode of transportation, i.e., did not include the use other modes such as marine mode. Marine mode was only applied for inter island transportation (3) . ...
It is difficult to make decision from various alternatives, when each of which has several factors with many aspects of relationship. Difficulty arises when complication due to ambiguity and close distinction among the identified aspects exists. Such circumstances occur in designing an engineering system, particularly at conceptual design stage. Thus, in order to be able to cope with the aspects that are combined with experience and knowledge of engineer and expert, we try to establish a method for making decision based on multi-criteria analysis. As an example, an evaluation model for inter-city cargo transportation in Indonesia is developed.
Linking the islands of the archipelago was traditionally done by boat. Today, ships are still used by millions of people to cross straits between the major islands, since there are no bridges except from Leyte to Samar. Cebu lies at the center of the ferries network, while small bangkas bring people to remote islets or through river mouths and harbors. The implementation of the Strong Republic Nautical Highway aims at speeding up and smoothing transfers from island to island. The port of Manila, a small player in the dynamic West Pacific rim, may be relieved from congestion with the rise of Batangas and Subic. Aviation, centered at the saturated Manila airport, has grown quickly since deregulation pitted new entrants (Cebu Pacific) against the well-established Philippine Airlines. A good part of intercity travel is done with buses, since the country has almost no rail transport today. At the local level, mobility is done with quintessential Philippine vehicles: the jeepney (sometimes transformed in a masterpiece of pop art), the trisikel, the pedicab or the skates. Today, efforts are underway to transform the system by introducing clean electric vehicles and reforming the rules of for-hire transportation, despite strong oppositions.
