<![CDATA[This community service program aimed to enhance the understanding and readiness of AMSS Padang students to use the PF-SCWSCBR eco-friendly incinerator properly, safely, and in an environmentally responsible manner, while utilizing the manual book as a supplementary learning resource. The program was conducted on September 29, 2026, at the West Sumatera Merchant Marine Polytechnic and involved lecturers and students from AMSS Padang through a series of activities, including participant transportation, registration, opening session, education and dissemination, interactive discussions, question-and-answer sessions, souvenir distribution, and closing. The materials covered the functions of the incinerator, operating principles, operational procedures, safety aspects, characteristics of waste suitable for processing, and the use of the manual book. The evaluation results showed that the three participating lecturers gave a 100% positive assessment across all evaluation indicators. Student evaluation yielded an average achievement rate of 97.93%, with four indicators reaching 100%, namely understanding of the materials, understanding of the manual book, perceived benefits of the program, and satisfaction with the activity. These findings indicate that the program effectively enhanced participants’ understanding of waste-processing technology and supported the integration of applied technology into maritime education. The activity also provides opportunities for further research and community service through technological refinement, manual book development, performance and emission testing, and broader implementation in educational and maritime settings.]]>
