Abstract

Kutaraja international Fishing Port is one of the biggest port with highest activity in Aceh Province. Nevertheless, when unloading process, fishing vessel often occur long queue of fishing vessel. This study aims to identify the vessel queue landed in Kutaraja Fishing Port, identify the degree of usefulness of the system utility of unloading fasilities and identify the vessel waiting time in the queue at Kutaraja Fisng port. The methods used was case study and standard formula of multi channel single phase. The results showed that the model queue that occurred in Kutaraja Fishing Port was (M/M/4): (FCFS / I / I). Based on calculations by the standard formula queuing model, it was obtained that the rate of arrival of the vessel unloading was 22 vessels/day and the rate of the service time was 16 vessels/day. Value of waiting time in the queue was 0 hour and the number of vessels that queue do not exist, while the waiting time in the system was 3,4 hours and the number of vessel arriving in the system was 1,42 units.The result of the calculation also showed that utility value of the system almost reached the optimum value (1,37) and the probably no vessel in a system was 0,08.The efforts that can be made to accelerate the performance of fish demolition in Kutaraja Fishing Port, namely using cranes as tools when unloading fish on fishing vessel.
