Abstract

Fuel consumption remains one of the most significant operational components in the maritime transportation sector, particularly on routes characterized by high vessel frequency such as Merak Bakauheni. This study aims to examine the efficiency of fuel utilization among four ferry vessels operating on this route two categorized as express ferries and two classified as regular ferries. Using a mixed-methods approach that integrates quantitative fuel-use analysis with qualitative evaluation of operational constraints, the research investigates how engine speed, power output, voyage duration, and port-related delays affect overall fuel efficiency. The findings demonstrate substantial differences in fuel consumption between the two ferry categories, largely influenced by engine load patterns and operational behavior. Furthermore, port congestion, limitations in jetty availability, and slow loading unloading procedures contribute significantly to additional fuel usage, particularly through prolonged auxiliary engine operation. These findings emphasize the need for an improved operational framework that includes speed optimization, more effective port coordination, and real-time monitoring mechanisms to minimize fuel waste and enhance maritime performance.

Abstract

The maritime industry is undergoing a rapid digital transformation that is reshaping traditional operations and human resource management. PT MCS Internasional, a large-scale maritime service provider managing crew operations for multiple types of vessels and companies, faces challenges in data management, efficiency, and compliance monitoring. The complexity of handling numerous crew members and diverse client requirements demands a structured digital solution. This research aims to examine the necessity and urgency of developing a Crewing Management System (CMS) tailored to PT MCS Internasional’s operational framework. Using a qualitative descriptive method through interviews, observation, and document analysis, the study finds that the manual and semi-digital processes currently in use result in data duplication, low accuracy, and slow decision-making. Customized CMS is essential to streamline operations, integrate multiple data sources, ensure regulatory compliance, and improve competitiveness. The paper concludes that implementing a comprehensive CMS will serve as a strategic move to enhance efficiency, reliability, and scalability in managing maritime human resources.
