Abstract

This research is motivated by the high risk of accidents in ship berthing operations due to mooring line failures that still frequently occur in ports. The purpose of this study is to analyze the use and maintenance of mooring lines in supporting ship safety when berthing. This study uses a descriptive qualitative approach. The study population is all crew members involved in mooring and unmooring activities on the Mv. Tanto Sentosa, while the sample was selected using a purposive sampling technique based on direct involvement in berthing operations. The research instrument is the researcher himself, with data collection techniques through observation, interviews, and documentation. Data analysis was carried out using the interactive model of Miles, Huberman, and SaldaƱa through data reduction, data presentation, and drawing conclusions. The results of the study indicate that the use of mooring lines is in accordance with the function and Ocimf Meg3/Meg4 standards, and the equipment is in good condition based on CCS inspections. Maintenance is carried out routinely through rinsing, storage, and periodic inspections. However, weaknesses are still found in the documentation aspect, namely the absence of a Line Management Plan (LMP). The conclusion of this study shows that the use and maintenance of mooring lines has been running well and supports ship safety, but improvements are needed in the maintenance documentation system to comply with IMO standards.

Abstract

This study analyzes the use of a manual steering system on the KM. Jetliner in supporting smooth berthing at Kendari Port. The background of this study is based on the importance of the effectiveness of the steering system in ship maneuvers, especially in port conditions with high levels of activity. The purpose of this study is to identify the influence of the manual steering system and the factors that influence the success of berthing. This study uses a descriptive qualitative method with the research subjects of the KM. Jetliner crew who were selected purposively. The research instruments include researchers, observation guidelines, interviews, and documentation. The data analysis technique uses an interactive model in the form of data reduction, data presentation, and conclusion drawing. The results of the study indicate that the manual steering system provides a faster and more precise response than the automatic system at low speed conditions and critical berthing distances. In addition, the success of maneuvers is also influenced by crew coordination, officer experience, and support from bow thrusters and tugboats. The conclusion of this study is that the manual steering system plays a significant role in improving the safety and smoothness of berthing at Kendari Port.
