2 RESEARCH METHODOLOGY
The analysis phase in this study uses 2 (two) methods
of adjusting to the model to be made, namely
Multivariate Analysis for the effectiveness model and
Data Envelopment Analysis for the efficiency model.
To determine the effectiveness measurement model,
it is necessary to identify the criteria used as a
measurement tool. There are five criteria for
measuring the effectiveness of pioneer ship services,
that is, (i) frequency of ships (each year), (ii) time of
operation of the ship (hours), (iii) number of
passengers (people/year), (iv) number of goods
(tons/year), and (v) ship load factor (%). Meanwhile,
to determine the efficiency model, the author
integrates input (total cost) and output (tariff) that
applies to passengers (Rp./ person.nm) and goods
(Rp./ ton.nm).
In addition, at this stage a sensitivity analysis
phase is carried out on the criteria that most influence
the effectiveness, level of effectiveness and efficiency
of pioneer vessel services on the R-95 route, and the
relationship between effectiveness and efficiency.
3 GENERAL DESCRIPTION
3.1 Current Condition Analysis
West Papua is one of the provinces located in eastern
Indonesia. West Papua Province is located on the
island of Papua and is bordered by the State of Papua
New Guinea. West Papua Province is the result of
division from Irian Jaya Province and was legally
recognized by the state as West Papua Province in
2007. In the beginning, Papua Island only had one
province, namely Irian Jaya Province. After
experiencing regional division, Papua Island now has
two provinces, namely West Papua and Papua.
Regional expansion is carried out by the Government
aimed to facilitate the Government in developing and
advancing the area on the island of Papua.
West Papua Province is located west of the island
of Papua, where the province includes the bird's head
region of the island of Papua and the surrounding
islands. This province is bordered directly by the
Pacific Ocean in the north, bordering North Maluku
and Maluku Provinces in the west, Cenderawasih Bay
in the east, and Seram Sea in the south.
West Papua Province has 13 districts/cities,
namely: Manokwari Regency, South Manokwari
Regency, Maybrat Regency, Arfak Mountain
Regency, Raja Ampat Regency, Sorong Regency,
South Sorong Regency, Tambrauw Regency, Bintuni
Regency, Teluk Wondama Regency, Fakfak
Regency, Kaimana Regency, and Sorong City. The
central government of West Papua Province is located
in Manokwari Regency, where the regency is located
as the Capital of the Province. The West Papua region
also has small islands which are spread across
regencies / cities. The small islands that are owned by
this province are the main attraction for tourists. One
of the islands that has become a tourist attraction is
the Raja Ampat Islands in Raja Ampat Regency (See
Figure 1).

Regional conditions and uneven population
distribution in the province of West Papua have
become separate obstacles for the Government in
terms of regional development and development. This
causes the underdevelopment of regional
infrastructure, especially in the field of transportation.
Considering the condition of the land that is less
supportive for the intensification of road construction,
the Government provides an alternative to the
community in the form of procurement of sea
transportation. One of the sea transportation facilities
provided by the Government is a pioneer ship.
Pioneer ships are ships that have the task of
connecting remote areas or still lagging behind.
Pioneer ships operate on routes established by the
Government, where the area included in the route is an
area that has not been served or not served
commercially by sea transportation. West Papua is one
of the areas served by pioneer ships. This can be seen
from 22 pioneer ships that visited West Papua. The
following are 22 pioneer ship routes that stop in West
Papua such as R-51, R-57, R-58, R-65, R-69, R-72, R-
75, R-77, R-78, R-79, R-84, R-87, R-88, R-89, R-90,
R-91, R-92, R-93, R-94, R-95, R-96, and R-113.
