It creates high occupancy in the container terminals across the country in Indonesia. To keep up the level of terminal service at the high demand in a modest way of capacity expansion, the terminal operator uses the external yard as one of the fastest and cheapest solutions with some limitations. The supporting yard is located outside of the terminal area and connected by the public road which is also used by non-container traffic. To find the optimum operation of terminal – external yards system, the model will address several optimum issues such as location, capacity, and tariff of yards. The performance of a Terminal which operates the external yard needs to be analyzed to measure the benefit of the policy. Analysis of terminal container performance could be done by a deterministic or stochastic condition which was determined by the nature data. Proper analysis approach was needed to be observed based on real data characteristic. This paper aims to analyze the container inter-arrival time and handling characteristic of marine import container terminal. Container data record of the terminal operator was referred and analyzed. Statistical theory of chi-square test was used to analyze data
