Coordination mechanism framework for container dwelling time reduction

Abstract

Dwelling time contributed 36.3% to the total time of land transportation in 2017 and is one of the commercial instruments to attract cargo and generate revenue. The government of Indonesia has attempted to reduce dwelling time by improving infrastructure and reforming bureaucracy but so far has paid little attention to straightening out coordination mechanisms between actors. Few studies have been conducted on port management - integrated planning and control of all seaport areas - and on coordination mechanisms related to dwelling time. This paper seeks to fill this gap with the question: how can coordination mechanisms between actors be conducted to reduce dwelling time? For answering this question, a coordination framework was built as the basis for the development of three coordination mechanism models.
