Study of Container Dwelling Time in Indonesia: Current Condition & Challenge

As a preliminary research for further research related to the impact of reducing Dwelling Time (DT) to logistic cost, the general aim of this paper is to provide an overview of current condition of the DT in Indonesia and movements of containers that incorporates the various factors affecting the DT of containers in container terminals. This research based on secondary data of container handling process, the data used to identify process of the container in the container terminal. DT monitoring data of the container used to analyze the distribution of inter-arrival time, service time and dwell time of container. Based on data analysis The average of containers DT in Indonesia during 2017 is 4.07 days for not custom inspected container and 11.9 days for custom inspected container, the longest duration process is from stacking to custom clearance with duration of 69.7 hours or 47.82% of total container DT.
