According to data from the 2016 Center for
Energy and Mineral Resources Data and Information
Technology at the Ministry of Energy and Mineral
Resources in 2016, it is known that fossil fuel use is still
high at 95.58% compared to renewable energy, which is
4.42%. With the geographical structure as an
archipelagic country, it requires transportation
facilities for transporting fuel both domestically and
abroad (import). This study aims to analyze the
development of new products / services using the
Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method. The
implementation of this method is expected to be able to
increase customer satisfaction by improving the quality
of management services for tanker shipping operations.
Data was collected through interviews, field
observations and library studies. Consumers in this
case Charterers prefer ships that are under 15 years
old, equipped with the latest technology for cargo
monitoring, professional ship crew and compliance
with safety and security standards. Claims on fuel costs
(Bunkers) and the excess fine of time on demand
(Demurrage) are not a priority of consumer needs but
are still efficient with the planning and coordination of
shipping operations that are good and correct in
accordance with shipping standards.
