JAKARTA - Fast motion improvement of the national logistics system (Sislognas) is thought to increase profits for three years the government has been with the repair process.
"As long as they are consistent, we can finish it in less than three years," said the expert transport of the Indonesian Transportation Society (MTI) Danang Parikshit, in Jakarta, as quoted by Antara, Saturday, March 21, 2015.
According to the Chairman of the MTI, if the repair can be done with in the near future, the advantages of logistics costs could increase by five percent. In addition, the government must also consider the conditions Sislognas uneven, like too many loads to be transported by land.
"The government is still looking for the right form of the logistics system in order to increase the transport capacity in the near future," said the man who is also a lecturer in the Department of Civil Engineering UGM.
Until now, Sislognas still rely on access to land with 70 percent usage, while the sea about 30 percent. Danang estimate if Sislognas been addressed, the government could save the cost of logistics and transportation around 12-18 percent.
However, with the variety of means of transport logistics in Indonesia, of reform must be done with balance in order to avoid gaps in one particular sector. If the government really wanted to focus on infrastructure and marine infrastructure, as embodied in the program Axis Maritime, inland logistics system must still be addressed.
"However, the logistics system in the land plays an important role in the distribution in the island," said Danang.
Utilization and improvement of port infrastructure, highway, or "dry port" good, he said, will increase the overall effectiveness of the logistics system. Settling Sislognas also closely associated with the efforts to address the high inflation rate.
With the basic idea that the repair will be done on improving the management system and trading system trading. "Handling inflation would take much effort for not only a matter of price movement. The government will fix the focus on logistics and management issues trade system," said Finance Minister Bambang Brodjonegoro.
Therefore, he expects governance arrangements and logistics and trading systems so that the goods in the market did not increase prices and maintain its availability.
Port Regulations
Associated with the sea lanes logistics system, Danang said that the challenge for the Ministry of Transportation is currently licensing regulations ship repair logistics for the efficient and inexpensive.
"Licensing logistics ships in Indonesia is less efficient, too many permissions that just makes it. If it is too long perizinanannya, costs are also increasing," said Danang.
According to him, with an efficient licensing and plus good infrastructure, capable of raising revenue logistics cruise around seven to nine percent. This is because the transport by sea is the cheapest logistics system.
If calculated carefully, automatic cost of capital should be able to dispatch the economic development or state benefits. He also stressed that the role of sea lanes should be increased in Sislognas, as has been proposed by the Government.
Meanwhile, the government through the Ministry of Industry wants investigation conducted port officer straightforward as it would add to the cost of logistics that it is not effective for the economy.
"We are asking the IPC and Customs in order to examine not convoluted so not be an additional 'cost' (costs)," said Industry Minister Saleh Husin after a coordination meeting Governance Ports, Maritime Ministry Office in Jakarta.
According to him, the logistics cost constraints associated with port services should be held down. In this case it really wants the performance of the economy and the industrial sector in Indonesia continues to grow.
In addition, the Coordinating Minister for maritime Indroyono Susilo wants port services can be simplified into a one-stop integrated system as has been done in the Investment Coordinating Board.
According Indroyono, actually existing in the port capital because it has no system to resemble the so-called Indonesia National Single Window (INSW). Indonesian National Single Window, as contained in Presidential Decree No. 10 of 2008, allows for a delivery of data and information in a single, processing of data and information in a single, synchronous, and a single decision-making for granting customs clearance and expenditures.
"Indonesia National Single Window is now living optimized to work on together," he said.
According to him, with a cross-ministry worked together, the process will be much simpler so that logistics costs are also to be low so that the Indonesian trade more prepared for the ASEAN Economic Community.
Train Logistics
The use of rail as a means of delivery logistics is expected to increase the profit of about two to three percent. Thanks to the railway excellence capable of carrying cargo in bulk and faster so efficient in the distribution.
"Logistics land, 70 percent still use trucks or heavy vehicles. If 20 percent can be moved onto the train could be more profitable to two to three percent," said Danang.
In addition, by increasing the allocation of railway logistics through also have an impact on the reduction of the burden that is often impassable road heavy vehicles.
"Train more beneficial. The government could also save maintenance or improvement of road infrastructure," he said.
Associated with this view, an economist from the University of Indonesia Toto Pranoto, said that the main drivers of income PT KAI (Persero) will come from the freight train with projected 2018 revenue reached Rp22,4 trillion with donations freight train reached 52 percent.
"Growth (revenue) freight train now has 50 percent compared to passenger trains. This is a significant change because 10 years ago the main revenue comes from industrial railway passenger train with the proportion of 70 percent of total revenue," said Toto.
The greatest contribution revenue freight train coming from the transport of coal to the proportion of 70 percent, while the rest comes from the transportation of fuel oil (BBM), containers, bulk cement, plantation crops, and cargo.
According to him, the trend of freight trains as a major contributor to the growth of the railway industry is also happening in other countries, such as India and China, through the support of more advanced infrastructure. Construction of a freight train line is important because this type of transport is considered highly beneficial financially to the proportion of 65 percent of total revenues and are significantly assist in "cross subsidy" with a passenger train.
For Indonesia, he said, the increased activity of the freight train has been supported by multiple lines of development in Java and South Sumatra, as well as the rail line from Araskabu Station to Kualanamu.
"Investment in infrastructure KAI freight train and airports is intended to accelerate and expand rail service lines and capture business opportunities," said the man, who also serves as head of the UI FEB LM.
With the completion of the construction of double track north of Java in 2014, trains that pass in the lane can increase the frequency and capacity of up to 200-300 percent. While the data from the Ministry of Transportation seen the potential for increased freight trains of five trips per day with a capacity of 160 TEU per day.
Thus, the presence of double track, will potentially increase as much as three-fold to 15 times per day with a capacity of 500 TEU / day. Based on the data graph Train Journey (Timetabling) PT KAI, number goods train travel has increased from the original 204 trips in 2011 to 253 in 2013 with a long trip traveling relatively faster.
In terms of financial performance, the income earned by PT KAI of carriage of goods also increased from Rp2.54 billion (2011) to Rp3,09 billion
