Abstract

This study investigates the impact of Hull Vane System installation on fuel efficiency and speed enhancement for High Speed Craft (HSC) ferries, focusing on MV. Batam Fast 20 operating on the Batam–Singapore route. The Hull Vane, a fixed hydrofoil mounted at the stern below the waterline, is designed to reduce hydrodynamic resistance and improve vessel performance. Numerical simulations using Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) with RANSE-based solvers were conducted across various speeds (10–25 knots) and foil attack angles (0°, 2°, 4°,6°). Results indicate that Hull Vane offers significant drag reduction only at low speeds (10 knots), achieving up to 26.99% resistance reduction. However, at operational speeds (20–25 knots), the system increases resistance due to excessive lift, causing bow trim and higher wetted surface area. Validation was performed through grid independence studies and comparison with experimental data and Maxsurf Resistance software. The findings conclude that Hull Vane System is unsuitable for MV. Batam Fast 20 due to its hull geometry and waterjet configuration. The study recommends exploring alternative technologies such as bow foils or automated trim control systems for high-speed vessels, emphasizing the need for adaptive hydrodynamic solutions in modern ferry operations.

Abstract

Gearbox is a vital component in the ship propulsion system that functions to transmit power from the main engine to the propeller. On the MV. Mas Initiative, found a discrepancy between the gearbox rotation ratio with the RPM of the main engine, which has an impact on increasing the lubrication temperature of the gearbox lubricating oil to exceed the optimal limit. This condition can reduce lubrication efficiency, accelerate component wear, andreduce overall ship performance. This study aims to analyze the factors that cause gearbox ratio mismatch, evaluate its impact on lubricant temperature, and develop technical recommendations to overcome these problems. The method used is descriptive qualitative approach through direct observation, interviews with the crew, and literature studies. The results showed that the main causes of this discrepancy include damage to gearbox components, a non-optimal lubrication system, as well as a lack of regular maintenance. The high temperature of the lubricant has an impact on decreasing the viscosity of the oil and decreasing the efficiency of power transmission. Recommended solutions include regular cleaning of the oil cooler and filter, checking the pressure of the oil pump, as well as regular oil quality testing. It is expectedthat the results of this study canbe a referencein gearbox maintenance to improve the reliability and operational efficiency of the ship.

Abstract

The seawater piping system on KM. Pratiwi Indah plays an important role in supporting ship operations; however, it is highly susceptible to damage due to the corrosive marine environment. This study aims to identify the causes of the seawater piping system replacement, compare the costs between galvanized pipe SCH 40 and black pipe SCH 80, and analyze the corrosion resistance of both pipe types. The research methods include the calculation of corrosion rate, remaining life, and Life Cycle Cost (LCC), supported by data presentation in tables and graphs. The analysis results indicate that the galvanized pipe has a corrosion rate of 0.35 mm/year with a remaining life of 15.14 years, while the black pipe has a corrosion rate of 0.53 mm/year with a remaining life of 16.41 years. Although the black pipe shows a slightly longer remaining life, the LCC calculation over a 30-year analysis period demonstrates that the galvanized pipe results in a lower total life cycle cost. Based on the technical and economic analysis, the galvanized SCH 40 pipe is recommended as the more optimal material for the seawater piping system on KM. Pratiwi Indah.
