ANALISIS FAKTOR PENYEBAB KERUSAKAN MUATAN SEMEN PADA PROSES LINE LOADING DI MV. PERKASA DAN UPAYA OPTIMALISASINYA

Abstract

Wangga Permana, Achmad. 2025. “Analysis of Factors Causing Cement Cargo Damage in the Line loading Process on MV. Perkasa and Optimazation Efforts” The importance of efficient cement distribution in supporting infrastructur development in Indonesia, especially in remote areas accsible only by sea, is paramount. MV. Perkasa faces challanges related to cement cargo damage during the loading process, particularly during line loading. This research aims to identify the factors causing cement cargo damage during the line loading process on MV. Perkasa, analyze the negative impact of cement cargo damage, and explore efforts to optimize the loading process. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, adn documentation. The data is analyzed thematically to identify the factors causing cargo damage, the impacts, and the optimization efforts that can be implemented. The research result indicate that the factors causing cement cargo damage include suboptimal equipment checks, the skills of the crew, and poorly maintained equipment conditions. The impact of cement cargo damage includes delays (demurrage) and labor losses for the crew. Furthermore, the optimization efforts that can be implemented include improving the skills and familiarization of the crew regarding the operation of loading equipment, increasing the maintenance of loading equipment, and supervision by officers on board the ship. This research is expected to contribute to scientific knowledge and insight, as well as provide solutions for cement carrier vessles.
