Toward smart port: New national capital city of Indonesia

The decision to relocate to the capital city of Indonesia needs to be supported by complete infrastructure, one of which is a technology-based smart port. Ports play an essential role in supporting the country’s economy. A port can be categorized as a smart port if it meets four main criteria: energy, operations, safety & security, and environment. This study will discuss the concept of smart port operation to realize the Master Plan of the New National Capital City of Indonesia (IKN) in terms of technology infrastructure, mobility, and smart city connectivity using the literature review method. The location of this research is in the Kaltim Kariangau Terminal (KKT), West Kalimantan Province. Most port activities in administration, loading, and unloading at the Kaltim Kariangau Terminal (KKT) still use conventional methods. There are three aspects of operations to fulfill smart port criteria: productivity, automation, and intelligent infrastructure. Productivity refers to the optimization level of activity on the port; RFID (Radio Frequency Identification) technology may increase the port’s productivity by decreasing the amount of time to identify every single container. AGV (Automated Guided Vehicle) with an automatic guiding device allow movement along a path that the system has determined to support the automation system. The application of automatic gates for checking goods in the entry gate supports the intelligence infrastructure to obtain data in real-time and quickly. The implementation of smart ports directly also supports the creation of IKN following the IKN Master Plan, which refers to Law No. 3 of 2022 concerning the State Capital covering aspects of Smart City implementation, Mobility and Connectivity, Technology, Information, Communication Infrastructure, and IKN Security Systems.
