ANALISIS FAKTOR YANG MEMPENGARUHI KEAMANAN MUATAN MOBIL GUNA MENCEGAH KERUSAKAN MUATAN PADA KAPAL CAR CARRIER MV. DREAM BEAUTY

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the factors affecting the safety of car cargo to prevent cargo damage aboard the Car Carrier MV. DREAM BEAUTY. During voyages, vehicle cargo is highly susceptible to damage caused by vessel movement, especially under extreme weather conditions or when securing systems such as lashing become worn out. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation, documentation, and case studies conducted during sea practice aboard the vessel. The results indicate that extreme weather and lashing deterioration are the main factors contributing to cargo displacement and potential damage. As a solution, regular inspections, replacement of damaged lashing equipment, and crew training on proper securing techniques are recommended. With the implementation of these measures, it is expected that cargo safety will be maintained and the risk of accidents during voyages will be minimized.
