However, this concept has largely been underutilized within the ferry port terminal's operation. This study asks whether the HSSE principles can be applied in the ferry port terminal in Indonesia. In particular, it examines whether Ferry port terminal of Merak can be considered as Ecoseaport. The term ‘Ecoseaport' is used instead of 'Ecoport' as commonly apply in European countries. It focuses on major ferry port teminals at inter-island hub because of the increasing volume and movement of people and vehicles in the last five years. This research is in line with the Indonesia government policy on 'Maritime Axis' and is relevant with the cancellation of the Sunda Strait bridge development. Through the multi- dimensional scaling, this research ultimately aims to contribute to the improvement of knowledge of stakeholders that will influence the formulation and implementation of policy and stands appropriately of HSSE aspect. Multi- Dimensional Scaling approach of this research is intended to transform respondents through similarity or their preferences which are represented in constructed a multi-dimensional space variables of Ecoseaport principles through HSSE aspect approached. It was concluded that during Muslim’s feast period with number of motor cycl e and vehicle variables were drastically increased than normal operation will affected to HSSE performance. Perception majority of respondent involved parties has put safety and security aspect as the priority. Meanwhile, health cases that reported by port medical officer is the major concerned which need takes attention into port management operation. Keywords— Ecoseaport, HSSE, Multi Dimensional Scaling _________________________________________________________________________________ 1. INTRODUCTION Merak port was situated in Banten Province Indonesia, is a public port inter island that serving between western tip of Java and southern Sumatra island with approximelay 30.6 km away. Port harbour Merak is the gateway of cross paths land connecting between Java and Sumatra island. Merak port has land area coverage of approximately 15 hectares, with physical boundaries territorial at north and east side to the hills, west and south side to Sunda strait. Inter island ferry port at Bakauheni is a public port that serving the crossing between the south end of Sumatra to tip of western Java island. To realize an effectiveness and efficient of transportation system, it should be directed to improve services by bringing together to their interests or expectation amongst relevant services parties. Whereas number of vehicle and motorcycle are continue increased every year, especially during holiday and annual muslim’s feast period in regard home coming and back flowing traditions to their home town. In the view, area for services improvement related to infrastructure and supporting facilities are essential implemented shall taken into immediate effectively and efficiently to be able its transportation system have realible, quality services, pricing affordability, safety and bring HSSE concept into their operations. One of strategy to improve ferry port terminal is by implemented Ecoseaport concept, instead of Ecoport terms that normally use in Europe. A port by implement Ecoseaport or green concept may lead to healthy and environmental sounds to develop port is being useful in terms of social, economic and ecological, and become a prerequisite in respect port would like to compete in the global transportation arena (Despina et al., 2011). Through Ecoseaport concept, various of environmental issues in the port such a deteriorated of sea water quality, air pollution and noise, reduce biodiversity, reduction of health condition and safety are systemically designed, implemented, monitored, reviewed, re-implemented
