Abstract

Imanuel, Giovani Simamora. 2025. " Analysis of the Causes of Delay and Leakage During Oil Product Loading on MT. Semar 77 at the Loading Port” Sea transportation plays a crucial role in international trade. One of the common challenges faced in this sector is operational delays and technical incidents such as pipeline system leaks. This study aims to analyze the factors causing delays and leakage during the loading of oil products on the MT. Semar 77 vessel at the loading port. Based on field observations, the leakage occurred due to a lack of pressure monitoring in the pipeline system equipped with a flexible joint, as well as weak coordination between the ship and port authorities. Additionally, issues during the tank cleaning process worsened the delay, as the cargo tanks did not meet cleanliness standards required for loading. This research was conducted using direct observation, documentation, and interviews with ship crew and port personnel. The findings of this study are expected to serve as a reference for improving onboard safety, preventing similar incidents from recurring, and providing recommendations to enhance ship operational procedures, particularly in pipeline supervision and inter-party communication.
