Abstract

Radar is one of the most important navigational aids for the officer of the watch, particularly at night, in restricted visibility, and in congested or narrow waters, but its value depends on correct operation, interpretation, and maintenance. This study examines the problems in the operation of radar during navigation on the KM Oriental Galaxy and identifies measures to optimise its use. A qualitative descriptive design was used, with data collected through direct observation, informal interviews with the Second Officer, the Third Officer, two helmsmen on watch, and a deck cadet, and documentation, including the planned maintenance records, during the authors’ 12-month sea practice. The results show that radar operation on board did not yet fully meet the applicable operating procedures. The problems identified were ineffective detection of targets and navigational hazards, deteriorating magnetron performance, blind and shadow sectors in the radar coverage, and spurious and false echoes that did not correspond to real objects. These problems were related to the crew’s limited knowledge of radar settings, display modes, and limitations, to insufficient attention by the officers to their responsibility for navigational equipment, and to routine maintenance that was not carried out on schedule, as shown by overdue items in the planned maintenance system. Technical guidance was given to the crew on radar settings, interpretation of the display, emergency handling, and basic maintenance. Training of officers and ratings in radar operation and its limitations, maintenance in accordance with the manufacturer’s instructions and the planned maintenance system, recording of blind sectors, and prompt company support for spare parts and repairs are recommended.

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the implementation of the Planned Maintenance System (PMS) on the anchor chain system aboard SPOB Buana Dynamic and to identify the constraints encountered in its execution. The research method employed is a descriptive qualitative approach, with data collected through direct onboard observation, documentation, and literature review. The results indicate that the maintenance of the anchor chain system has not been carried out optimally and has not been implemented in a disciplined manner. Several maintenance procedures, such as wear inspection of components, chain stopper testing, and comprehensive inspections, are not performed routinely. This condition leads to technical problems, including corrosion and wear of the anchor chain, which may reduce the strength and reliability of the system. In addition to technical factors, managerial issues also contribute, such as inadequate planning, organization, and supervision, as well as low crew awareness regarding the importance of preventive maintenance. From a regulatory compliance perspective, the PMS implementation has not fully met the safety requirements established by international standards such as SOLAS and the ISM Code. These shortcomings impact the smooth operation of the vessel, particularly during anchoring and weighing processes. It can be concluded that the PMS implementation remains reactive and has not been optimally applied. Therefore, improvements in maintenance practices, stricter supervision, and the development of a preventive maintenance culture are necessary to enhance safety and operational reliability of the vessel).

Abstract

This study aims to analyze the conformity of procedures and the readiness of safety equipment in handling Man Overboard (MOB) incidents on board KM. Pantokrator. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including observation, interviews, and documentation study of the ship's Safety Management System (SMS). The results show that the level of conformity in the implementation of MOB procedures reaches 84.6%, where out of 13 procedural steps, 11 were implemented and 2 were not carried out. Several discrepancies were found, particularly in aspects of communication, compliance with procedures, and reporting documentation. From the perspective of safety equipment readiness, the findings indicate that all equipment meets availability standards in accordance with SOLAS requirements, but is not yet optimal in terms of operational readiness. This is evidenced by the ineffective use of the rescue boat, which experienced delays in operation due to the engine condition being rarely used. As a result, the evacuation process was carried out alternatively by the crew using manual methods. Safety equipment such as life jackets and lifebuoys functioned properly, while other equipment was not utilized due to situational considerations. Based on the findings, it can be concluded that although the safety system and equipment are available in accordance with standards, improvements are needed in the areas of equipment maintenance, communication optimization, and reporting accuracy to enhance the effectiveness of emergency handling on board
