Abstract

Sitompul, Bertson Michael. 2025. “Analysis of Cargo Shortage in the Coal Transhipment Process on MV Ocean Prince and Its Impact on Loading and Unloading Productivity at Muara Berau Anchorage” Coal transhipment activities play a vital role in the energy distribution chain, especially in maritime areas inaccessible to large vessels. This study aims to analyze the causes of cargo shortage during the coal transhipment process on MV Ocean Prince and its impact on loading and unloading productivity at Muara Berau Anchorage. The research employed a descriptive qualitative approach using direct observation, interviews, and documentation during the period from August 2023 to August 2024. The results revealed a cargo shortage of 500 MT due to coal spillage during crane transfer operations from barge to ship, as well as suspected cargo theft and leakage from barges. These factors led to inefficiencies in the loading and unloading process, marked by increased operational time, higher logistics costs, and potential financial losses from dead freight. Through fishbone analysis, the study recommends enhanced supervision, optimal equipment usage, and stricter enforcement of standard operating procedures to improve efficiency and prevent future cargo shortages.
