Strategy of Implementing Incinerator for Port Solid Waste Management: Case Study of Tanjung Luar Fishing Port, Indonesia

The study aimed to (a) analyze fisheries’ activities and the suitability of incinerators for port solid waste management, (b) formulate priority strategies for implementing incinerator technology in Tanjung Luar Fishing Port. The methods used were descriptive analysis, score methods, and Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) methods. The developing fishery activities analyzed in Tanjung Luar were fishing boat activities, fish marketing, port industries and fish processing, sea supply kiosk, provision of sea fuels, provision of ice for fish, food stalls, and other fishery services. The suitability of incinerators for port solid waste management was relatively high, which was indicated by the fulfillment of ‘good compliance’ criteria (3.20 on a scale of 1-4) and ‘very good beyond compliance’ criteria (3.52 on a scale of 1-4). Developing an environmental control system in incinerator operations (CONT) was priority strategy I of implementing incineration into solid waste management in fishing ports (IR=0.245, inconsistency 0.05). The supporting strategy was the recruitment of skilled incinerator managers from the community (MANG) (IR=0.232, inconsistency 0.05). The implementation of incinerators is believed to be able to save the management cost of port solid waste reaching 26,584.62 USD per year, prevent waste hazards to fish caught, fisheries actors, visitors, and the community around the port (9,768 people), and improve the performance of fishery activities in the port (8 activities). In the future, it is hoped that research will be conducted on the development of energy sources for fishing ports that utilize combustion heat in incinerators.
