As an archipelagic country, the use of several modes or multimodal freight transport in Indonesia is indispensable. As a place of “interchanging,” Port is an essential element in a transportation system that supports a region’s economy and becomes more in the region island where incoming and outgoing goods rely on it. Port connectivity is not just about how “good” the Port is connected to the maritime transportation network and reached by regular lines services but also contributes to the entire transport network. Generally, the higher port connectivity is, the more attractive it is to facilitate cargo transportation and reduce transportation costs and time. Port connectivity is very complex, and it will be more useful if analysed from more perspective by using comprehensive analysis. This paper proposes the conceptual framework port connectivity in the multimodal perspective that sees from three aspects: maritime connectivity, connectivity of port with the hinterland, and connectivity at the Port and using the same measurement such as generalized transport cost. Analysis on various aspects will give a better understanding of port connectivity. Conceptual framework consists of three stages, the first stage is defining the definition of connectivity, seconds stage is connectivity analysis, and the last stage is synthetic of results. The importance of conceptualizing port connectivity is because there is still a lack of research on port connectivity. It is mostly analysed only on one aspect, as we know that port connectivity is very complicated. It will be more useful if analysed from a more different point of view with a comprehensive analysis.
