This study evaluates the effectiveness of Automated Rubber Tyred Gantry (ARTG) as an alternative to manual RTG operations at the Semarang Container Terminal. The research focuses on productivity (boxes/hour), maintenance cost efficiency (IDR/month), and workplace safety (number of incidents). A descriptive quantitative case study was conducted from March to May 2025. Results show that ARTG improved productivity by 11.25%, reduced maintenance costs by 46.5%, and recorded zero incidents compared to four incidents with manual RTG. All differences were statistically significant (p < 0.05). These findings indicate that ARTG enhances operational efficiency and safety in port operations. Gradual implementation of ARTG is recommended, considering digital infrastructure readiness, human resource training, and policy support.
