Abstract

Establishing ship fares necessitates a thorough examination because it encompasses multiple cost factors, with fuel being the primary expense. For operators, it is crucial to determine fares that not only account for operational expenses but are also competitive and accessible for users of the service. This research investigates the viability of river transport fares using catamaran vessels on the Parangloe–Lakkang route, which can accommodate 12 passengers and 10 motorcycles, with a maximum of 8 vessels in operation. The aim of this research is to assess the minimum fare needed for the vessels to function sustainably by employing the Required Freight Rate (RFR) method, alongside evaluating passengers' ability and willingness to pay through the Ability to Pay (ATP) and Willingness to Pay (WTP) methodologies. The analysis reveals that the lowest minimum fare for passengers is Rp1.910/trip for vessel 3, while vessel 8 has the highest minimum fare at Rp2.442/trip. The ATP for passengers has been noted at Rp2.893/trip, whereas the WTP is recorded at Rp2.000/trip. These findings imply that the RFR fare falls between the WTP and ATP figures, indicating it is within a suitable range for fare policy. This result is significant as it provides a foundation for establishing sustainable fares and promotes enhancements in the quality of river transport services to ensure they are safer and more enjoyable for passengers.

Abstract

Mild steel is widely used in construction because it is lightweight and economical, but it is susceptible to corrosion, especially in marine environments with high chloride ion content. Shielded Metal Arc Welding (SMAW) welded joints are vulnerable due to microstructural changes and weld defects that accelerate damage. This study aims to analyse the effect of RD and LB E6010 electrodes on the corrosion rate of mild steel welded joints in seawater. The research method involved welding 1.5 mm galvanised steel using 70–90 amps of current with the stringer bead technique. The samples were then immersed for 21 days in seawater from Pagatan Beach, South Kalimantan, and tested using the weight loss method. The test results showed that the RD electrode had a corrosion rate of 0.83 mm/year, which was lower than that of the LB electrode at 1.11 mm/year. This difference was influenced by weld defects, where the LB electrode produced more porosity, slag inclusion, and pitting corrosion. Based on the ASTM G46 classification, both values fall into the moderate category. It can be concluded that the use of RD electrodes is highly recommended for light steel joining applications in marine environments, given their superior corrosion resistance.

Abstract

Ship docking operations require careful planning and precise implementation to ensure safety and operational efficiency. One widely applied method in shipyard practice is the use of marine airbags to support vessels during docking and undocking processes. This study analyzes the application of a marine airbag-assisted docking system for the barge BG. Liana at PT. Jhonlin Marine Trans using an analytical and field-based approach. The analysis focuses on determining the required number of airbags, evaluating load distribution, and identifying factors contributing to airbag failure during docking operations. Vessel principal dimensions and marine airbag specifications were used as primary input parameters, while field observations were conducted to assess actual operational conditions. The results indicate that a minimum of 21 marine airbags is required to ensure adequate load sharing and structural safety; however, only seven airbags were deployed in practice, leading to excessive load concentration and increased risk of airbag failure. The failure analysis demonstrates that the observed damage was predominantly caused by controllable operational factors, including inadequate airbag quantity, improper placement, pressure inconsistencies, and runway conditions. These findings highlight the importance of strict compliance with analytical planning and operational procedures to enhance safety and reliability in marine airbag-assisted docking operations.
