Pelabuhan Perikanan Kasiwa, yang terletak di Mamuju, Sulawesi Barat, memiliki peranan penting dalam mendukung sektor perikanan ekonomi lokal dan menjadi tempat bagi nelayan untuk mendaratkan hasil tangkapannya. Permasalahan yang ada di Pangkalan Pendaratan Ikan (PPI) Kasiwa Mamuju antara lain masih terbatasnya fasilitas yang tersedia dan beberapa di antaranya telah mengalami kerusakan bahkan tidak dapat dimanfaatkan lagi. Evaluasi terhadap kinerja dan strategi pengelolaan PPI Kasiwa termasuk pembangunan ke depannya harus didasarkan pada karakteristik operasional pelabuhan, sehingga mendukung tingkat pencapaian sasaran, tujuan, misi, dan visi dari Pelabuhan. Penelitian ini bertujuan untuk mengetahui kondisi fasilitas Pelabuhan perikanan Kasiwa dan mengetahui tingkat pemanfaatan fasilitas Pelabuhan perikanan Kasiwa. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode pendekatan kuantitatif dan kualitatif dengan pengumpulan data primer melalui survei,
wawancara, dan observasi langsung, serta data sekunder dari instansi terkait. Data kuantitatif dianalisis secara deskriptif untuk menghitung tingkat pemanfaatan fasilitas. Hasil penelitian menunjukkan bahwa beberapa fasilitas pelabuhan mengalami overutilization, antara lain dermaga (69,76%), kolam pelabuhan (271,26%), tempat pelelangan ikan (0%), dan kedalaman perairan (70%). Tingkat pemanfaatan yang tinggi ini mengindikasikan kebutuhan mendesak untuk pengembangan dan perbaikan fasilitas pelabuhan. Kesimpulan dari hasil penelitian bahwa fasilitas pokok, fasilitas utama seperti dermaga,tempat pelelangan ikan dan area tambat labuh sangat menentukan kelancaran aktivitas perikanan. Jika fasilitas pokok ini dalam kondisi baik, maka efesien bongkar muat dan distribusi hasil tangkapan akan optimal.
Kasiwa Fishing Port, located in Mamuju, West Sulawesi, plays an important role in supporting the local economic fisheries sector and is a place for fishermen to land their catch. The problems at the Kasiwa Mamuju Fish Landing Base (PPI) include the limited facilities available and some of them have been damaged and can no longer be used. Evaluation of the performance and management strategy
of the Kasiwa PPI including future development must be based on the operational characteristics of the port, so as to support the level of achievement of targets, objectives, missions, and visions of the Port. This study aims to determine the condition of the Kasiwa Fishing Port facilities and to determine the level of utilization of the Kasiwa Fishing Port facilities. This study uses quantitative and qualitative approaches with primary data collection through surveys, interviews, and direct observation, as well as secondary data from related agencies. Quantitative data is analyzed descriptively to calculate the level of facility utilization. The results of the study indicate that several port facilities are overut ilization of the Kasiwa Fishing Port facilities. This study uses quantitative and
qualitative approaches with primary data collection through surveys, interviews, and direct observation, as well as secondary data from related agencies. Quantitative data is analyzed descriptively to calculate the level of facility utilization. The results of the study indicate that several port facilities are overutilized, including the dock (69.76%), port pool (271.26%), fish auction place
(0%), and water depth (70%). This high utilization rate indicates an urgent need for the development and improvement of port facilities. The conclusion of the research results is that basic facilities, main facilities such as docks, fish auction places and mooring areas greatly determine the smoothness of fisheries activities. If these basic facilities are in good condition, then the efficiency of loading and unloading and distribution of catches will be optimal
