ANALYSIS OF THE FACTORS AFFECTING THE COST OF SHIP REPAIRS IN THE ISLAND OF JAVA AND KALIMANTAN

Abstract

The national shipbuilding industry is primarily responsible for maintaining and repairing ships at ship repair
facilities to ensure their seaworthiness. Each shipyard offers variable pricing for ship repair, mainly if the work is
performed on different islands, in Java and outside of Java. By understanding the differences in ship repair costs
between shipyards in Java and those outside of Java and the factors that influence these discrepancies, a ship
owner can choose a repair shipyard for docking his vessel. Ship repair data were collected from shipyards in Java
and Kalimantan, with data collection and direct surveys conducted at three Industries which are located in the
island of Java, and three industries in Kalimantan Island, it is processed to determine the difference between the
average cost of ship repairs at shipyards in Java Island and Kalimantan Island, revealing that the cost of repairing
ships at shipyards in Java Island is higher than the cost of repairs at shipyards on Kalimantan Island. However,
there are also increased costs associated with ship maintenance activities in shipyards in the island of Kalimantan.
After processing the difference data, the identification of the factors that cause the difference in repair costs
forms, and the identification results indicate that the difference in ship repair costs at the shipyards in Java and
Kalimantan is influenced by differences in service costs, productivity figures, geographical location of the
shipyards, supply chains. materials, as well as the completeness, quality, and capacity of repair support facilities
at the shipyards.
