Abstract

Makassar Port plays a crucial role in the Ministry of Transport’s hub-and-spoke strategy, significantly impacting the reduction of economic disparities between the eastern and western regions of Indonesia. As a vital port, the safety of the port and the marine environment must be safeguarded at all costs. In this regard, the Ministry of Transport has established a Vessel Traffic Service (VTS) to monitor and supervise the daily activities of inbound and outbound ships at Makassar Port. To enhance operational safety, this article discusses the utilization of historical Automatic Identification System (AIS) data to assess hazardous areas that require the utmost attention from VTS and the harbor master. By analyzing seven days of AIS past data using Geographic Information System (GIS) software, we were able to calculate traffic density based on the number of points per grid cell. The results revealed persistent dark red grid squares, indicating substantial congestion across all days, particularly on Days 1, 3, 5, and 7. The variance in traffic volume on different days suggests that certain periods of the week experience higher traffic levels. These findings highlight that the port entrance is a critical hub for maritime traffic, and if not managed effectively, it could lead to bottlenecks and navigational difficulties.
