Abstract

Indonesia is an archipelagic country with 17,508 islands. Therefore, transportation by sea is very much needed to support trade flows in reaching areas between islands with one another through national and international waters. The purpose of this study was to determine the optimization of the implementation of the MLC (Maritime Labor Convention) on ships and to determine the effect of the implementation of the MLC (Maritime Labor Convention) for the welfare of seafarers. The data collection method is survey and interview methods. This research is included in qualitative research. The results of this study indicate that the 2006 MLC regarding the welfare of seafarers onboard KM Bukit Siguntang has been implemented well, but the rest time is not optimal so it is necessary to pay attention to its optimization. The implementation of the 2006 MLC had a major impact on the welfare of seafarers on board.

Abstract

Passenger ship accidents are complex events resulting from multiple interrelated factors, with human error, technical deficiencies, and environmental conditions playing critical roles. Between 2018 and 2022, Indonesia’s National Transportation Safety Committee (KNKT) recorded 108 ship accidents, including 29 Ro-Ro passenger ships and 19 conventional passenger vessels. This study employs the Hazard and Operability Study (HAZOP) methodology to analyze risk factors contributing to passenger ship accidents, with particular emphasis on the human resource (HR) perspective. Primary data were collected through interviews and surveys with ship crew members, while secondary data were obtained from accident reports and maritime literature. The analysis identified key risks, including improper use of LPG stoves, unsafe cargo storage practices, malfunctioning fire detection systems, crew fatigue resulting from excessive workload, and vessel overloading. Each risk was systematically associated with specific mitigation measures through HAZOP analysis, translating human- and technical-related deviations into actionable safety recommendations. The findings underscore the importance of enhancing safety training, strengthening maintenance protocols, and improving HR management practices. The study concludes that reinforcing human factors, particularly through continuous safety training, scheduled maintenance, and more effective workload management, can significantly reduce the likelihood of accidents. Thus, this research not only identifies critical risk sources but also offers practical guidance for improving maritime operational safety and reducing incidents associated with human error.

Abstract

The Indonesian archipelago is strategically located in the major vessels’ global routes and domestic shipping lanes that lead to dense ship traffic with a mix of challenging navigational conditions, which consequently raises the potential risk of maritime accidents. Modern navigational aids—and the systems used in maritime and aeronautical sectors are just two examples—are now widely recognised to be a key factor for increasing situational awareness, explaining better route planning and decreasing instances of collisions or other hazards. This research assesses the role of these technologies to enhance safety in Indonesian waters and explores legal frameworks for their introduction. Through a descriptive/analytical approach supported by regulation review and literature analysis, the study recognizes existing advantages provided modern navigation systems, in real time monitoring and hazards detection in particular. Several challenges remain, however, with the uneven technological uptake among ships and ship types, limited seafarer skills, insufficient navigational infrastructure and evidence of unsafe operation such as AIS switching off. Regulatory loopholes and insufficient harmonization with international regulations (SOLAS, MARPOL, IMO, STCW) also have impacts on the overall effectiveness of navigation technologies. It is concluded that modern navigation systems greatly contribute towards the safety of maritime navigation, but their full utilization will have to be supported by better enforcement of regulations, upgrading infrastructure, regular training of crews and harmonization with national e-navigation initiatives. Recommendations and research directions are suggested in the evaluation to enhance an effective and technological-based maritime safety system in Indonesia.
