1. In the era of globalization, the importance of the shipping industry in the world economy has
increased. A shipping conference is a group of ocean freight carriers that voluntarily come together
for the purpose of limiting and regulating competition among themselves. Please explain about the
competition in the shipping industry! (LO1, LO2, 15%)

ANSWERS:
1. Shipping Industry is one of the most important parts in carrying out international trade. This is
because the shipping industry will be largely related to the shipping line, shippers to the port. Of
course, the main purpose of the shipping industry itself is a company engaged in the delivery of
goods, which in this case the goods are in the form of containers and use ships as shipping media.
For example, Japan exports raw materials for making cars to Indonesia, so it will definitely use
ships for shipping and use containers as storage media. This will definitely involve the shipping
industry as the agency that takes care of shipping between countries, especially for the use of ships.
Of course, the name of the industry will not be separated from the competition, so that in the
shipping industry there are 3 types of competition, which are known as Tramp competition,
Competition from non-conference lines, and Commodity competition.
The first type of competition is known as the Tramp Competition or better known as the Tramp
Service. Tramp service itself is a type of cargo delivery service between countries, especially for
short or domestic distances but does not have a fixed route, schedule, and itinerary. This type of
shipping service also has a relatively cheap price and can shorten the delivery time because it will
always be available if there are customers who want to make deliveries to another port. An example
of this ship's performance is if there is a tramp service ship from Malaysia about to ship to the
Philippines and when the cargo is unloaded in the Philippines, new cargo will be loaded for
delivery to Hong Kong. So this makes schedules and routes not fixed because they will always be
adjusted to customer needs to make deliveries to where and when.
The next competition is known as Competition from non-conference lines which is the opposite
of the shipping industry from conferences lines. On non-conference lines, the shipping lines will
operate on routes served by linear conferencing, also known as steamboat conferencing. This type
of service can also be said to be more flexible because it follows the wishes of the customer because
it is independent and does not depend on shipping conferences. This is different from a shipping

2. Containerization is a method of shipping goods by placing goods in larger containers to save space
and shipping time. Or another understanding is a shipping system method that operates in
virtualization using a shared operating system or OS and uses containers as applications that have
large and isolated rooms with the aim of facilitating shipping by ships, trucks, and trains. In
addition, a system like this makes delivery better, faster, and safer because it is supported by a
computerized system to minimize errors, especially when changing locations, for example, code
on a virtual machine that is transferred easily from a desktop computer, thus facilitating the
tracking process during the delivery process.
The containerization process itself requires several requirements, such as all existing
applications and features, such as configuration files, libraries, and dependencies. Also, the
container must be able to abstract the host from that OS with only limited access to the underlying
resources. So with the existing requirements, containerized applications can run well and can be
deployed on VMs or bare metal without the need to refactor each environment during delivery. In
addition, the container must also have a strong and large physical shape so that it can be used
repeatedly with a minimum volume of 1m3.

3. Container leasing is an activity to make a work agreement between a container supplier and a
company that will use their services in the form of containers. Container itself is a form of storage
tool used for large-scale shipments either at sea or land in order to provide convenience. For some
companies, there are those who are willing to spend more money to buy their own containers, but
there are also those who choose to do leasing like the container leasing. There are several types of
container leasing, such as One-way leases, Long-term leases, Short-term leases, Master leases, and
Round trip leases.
The first type of container leasing is One-way lease where the agreement on this rental is only
valid for one trip. Or in other words, the rental is considered complete if the container has arrived
at the destination. This rental is also considered to be one of the most flexible and easy to use
because it has an affordable price and is not difficult to manage the agreement and at the time of
returning the container does not need to be returned to the station or port of initial delivery. In
addition, this rental does not require transportation costs when you want to return the container to
the rental party and there is no need to pay for asset management and storage costs, thereby
reducing company costs. An example of this type of lease is a container used for shipping to China
from Indonesia, and after arriving in China, the container will remain in China and do not have to
be returned to Indonesia.

5. Please calculate how much is the total load of the container without pallet and with pallet!
Known:
Size of Box : Length → 350 mm (35 cm)
Wide → 180 mm (18 cm)
Height → 120 mm (12 cm)
Size of Pallet : Length → 1,200 mm (120 cm)
Verified by,
= 16.851
≈ 16 box
2,352
Wide Capacity = 180
= 13.067
≈ 13 box
2,385
Height Capacity = 120
= 19.875
≈ 19 box
Total Load without Pallet = 16 × 13 × 19
= 3,952 box
So, the Total load of the container without the pallet are 3,952 box.
= 4.915
≈ 4 pallet

= 2.352
≈ 2 pallet
= 3.428
≈ 3 box

Wide Capacity = 180
= 5.556
≈ 5 box
= 18.875
≈ 18 box
