The Nusantara Sibolga fishing port has a fish processing industry, which generates waste, including liquid waste, from its activities. The handling of wastewater from the industry involves treating the wastewater to meet quality standards before it is discharged into the open environment. In this study, the wastewater is channeled to the sea through an integrated wastewater treatment plant, as it originates from three different fishery industries. This is stipulated in the Minister of Environment Regulation Number 05 of 2014. The purpose of this study is to identify the facilities of the wastewater treatment installation and the final quality of its process. Data were obtained through direct surveys and interviews with stakeholders, and then samples for water quality were tested in a laboratory. The wastewater treatment installation equipment has the highest value from the readiness analysis results of the Sibolga fishing port wastewater treatment installation. The analysis showed that the highest score, 13 out of a total of 16, came from the collection tank of PT.ASL. The highest scores for treatment units were the sedimentation pond and the main collection tank, both scoring 11. This evaluation is also related to the quality results of the wastewater at the outlet. The evaluation of the readiness analysis results involves improving each device of the wastewater treatment installation for optimal results.
