Abstract :
The pandemic has put pressure on global
maritime supply chain activities resulting in slowdowns
and delays. This is reflected in the container crisis, which
has caused a shortage of containers at Indonesia's busiest
port, Tanjung Priok Port. This study aims to identify the
factors that contribute to container shortages based on the
perspectives of strategic partners who are considered a
relevant source of information on the phenomenon. The
study also seeks to determine the extent of the impact of
container shortages and identify appropriate solutions.
The study employs a qualitative, descriptive methodology
and utilizes Nvivo software to provide a comprehensive
visualization of the data. Seven informants were selected
for this study using purposive sampling. The data collected
through interviews revealed that the shortage of containers
was caused by congestion, lockdowns, trade imbalances,
container imbalances, demand and supply imbalances, and
a shortage of vessel space. Based on the analysis, the
lockdown has had a significant impact. The shortage of
containers has disrupted export activities with the highest
coverage level, and container repositioning is the most
effective solution compared to others.
