ANALISIS KONDISI STRUKTUR UTAMA RUANG MUAT GUNA MENCEGAH TERTUNDANYA PROSES BONGKAR MUAT DI MV. GOLDEN ASO

Abstract

The cargo hold structure on a bulk carrier plays an important role in maintaining operational safety, load distribution, and vessel reliability during cargo loading and unloading operations. Structural damage such as ladder structure damage and longitudinal hatch coaming fracture can reduce cargo hold integrity and potentially disrupt the operational safety of the vessel. This study aims to identify and analyze the factors causing damage to the cargo hold ladder structure and fractures in the longitudinal hatch coaming, as well as to determine preventive measures that can be implemented. The research method used in this study is a qualitative descriptive method with a fishbone analysis (cause-and-effect diagram) approach. The research was conducted based on the author’s sea practice experience aboard MV. GOLDEN ASO, with data collection carried out through observation, documentation and literature studies. The results indicate that ladder structure damage is influenced by human, machine, material, method, measurement, and environmental factors, while longitudinal hatch coaming fractures are influenced by uneven cargo distribution, weak supervision, deterioration of material quality, and operational environmental conditions. The findings of this study are expected to contribute to improving supervision systems, operational safety, and maintenance of cargo hold structures in order to reduce the potential for structural damage on board ships.
