Abstract

The Bitung container terminal as the international hub port experienced an increase in the growth of container flow and ship call from 2014 to 2019, wherein the average increase was 8% and 4%, respectively. In 2018, the increase of ship calls was significantly high about 25% compared with the ship call in 2017. One of the important port facilities, to support the loading and unloading activities for the container, is the container handling types of equipment that are used for container handling from ship to port, port to the container terminal, and in the container terminal itself. The aims of this study are to analyze the productivity performance of the container handling equipment in the Bitung container terminal by considering the growth of container flow and to determine the optimal capacity of the container handling capacity for the expected year in 2035. The container handling equipment that was investigated is a container crane (CC), rubber-tired gantry (RTG), and head track (HT). The combination of the qualitative and quantitative methods is used for analyzing the productivity, and the regression method is used for predicting the growth of the container. Also, the optimization method is used for determining the optimal capacity of the container handling equipment. The research results revealed the productivity of CC, RTG, and HT were 25 boxes/hour, 27 TEUS/hour, and 24 TEUS/hour, respectively. In addition, the optimal capacity of CC is one unit for the short term (2025) and mid-term (2035). The optimal capacity of RTG is two units for the short-term (2025) and mid-term (2035). For the HT, the optimal capacity is two units for the short-term (2025) and mid-term (2035).

Abstract

In the era of the industrial revolution 4.0, information technology is developing very rapidly so that it is now easier to design an information system that can facilitate aspects of work. The ship production process in a shipyard involves complex information. It's the necessary information to keep the shipbuilding project progress with the Plan. Unclear information at least one of the stages in the ship production process will delay project completion and affect costs. Manually distributing important information about the shipbuilding process to related departments takes time. Therefore, it directly affects the duration of the project. A digital information system for the shipbuilding process is needed to overcome these problems. Therefore, it is necessary to develop an integrated information system that functions to facilitate the flow of information between divisions related to the ship production process in the form of digitization. Based on this, there has been no digitalization of information system integration related to production materials in the design division (Engineering), purchasing division, material warehouse division and production division. Therefore, before the digital information system can be developed further, it is necessary to identify and formulate the flow of information between departments. Therefore, this study aims to identify and formulate information and flows to the four divisions in the ship production process .

Abstract

The main process of shipbuilding consists of several stages of work, including design, fabrication (cutting, shaping or forming), block assembly, outfitting, painting, erection, and work on the pier. The block assembly system is very efficient to be used in a ship production process in modern shipyards. In this system, the assembly's efficiency and productivity depend on the design of the block division; hence, it requires an appropriate design. Generally, the feasibility of the block division design still relies heavily on the expertise of experienced designers who has extensive knowledge of shipbuilding. This study uses 2 (two) block division designs which are based on a plate length of 20 feet (6069 mm) and 30 feet (9144 mm). Based on the division, the characteristics of the blocks' weight, number, dimensions and the number of supply plate material requirements can be obtained. The results show that the characteristics of the weight, number and dimensions of blocks for each plate reference length are different. The total material needed for each design is 773,028 kg and 907,212 kg. The effectiveness of supply material requirements for the design with 20 feet plate is better than the design for 30 ft plate, which is 0.31 compared to 0.41.

Abstract

American Standard Testing and Material (ASTM) A36 is a low carbon steel, and commonly used as material of shipbuilding. Joining of steel can cause decreasing of its strength. The purpose of this study was to determine the tensile strength of joints of ASTM A36, consisting of square butt, single bevel butt, and single vee butt joints. The  research methode is experimental.  The specimens are made of steel for the ship's decks, which are connected using three types of joints. Each type of connection involves as many as three specimens, so there are a total of nine specimens. Before the tensile test is carried out, the specimen is subjected to a penetrant test to detect weld defects. It was detected that the specimen had broken off at the weld joint. The experiment result shows that the strongest joint from tensile strength point of view is single vee butt joint (198.80 MPa), followed by single bevel butt joint (182.19 MPa) and, square butt joint (168.51 MPa).

Abstract

The fishing port combines fishing activities at sea and distribution activities to consumer areas. The fishing port must guarantee the needs of ships that dock and land and ensure that the landed catch remains of good quality. The Tanru Sampe Fishing Port in Jeneponto Regency, South Sulawesi Province, is a type D Fish Landing Base (PPI) with a pier length of 45 m, a pool depth of around 0.5-4 m, an operating vessel capacity of 19-24 GT, and loading and unloading time of around 4 -5 hours. The condition of limited depth and long loading and unloading time causes the frequency of fishing to be less optimal. The research aims to analyze the port's performance using parameters based on the standards of the Director General of Capture Fisheries Number 20/KEP-DJPT/2015. The results of the study show that the performance of the port is generally of moderate value, with assessment parameters: 1) Administration and information of three variables, only one good variable, namely the availability of human resources, 2) Port facilities of six variables, only four variables have good value, namely the length of the pier, the depth of the pool, the completeness of marketing and distribution facilities, and the availability of portland. 3) Four out of nine variables for general services are good: mooring services, fishery production, frequency of ship visits, and ice distribution. n In investment and industry, there are three good variables: port land use and employment.

Abstract

One of the stages of ship production using the grand block system is the erection process, where in this process the blocks weighing up to million Tons will be lifted. This study aims to see whether the sling angle used in the block lifting process will produce different stresses, strains, and deformations in the pad eye. Sling angle variations used in this study are 45°, 60°, 75° and 90° with a tensile load of 55 tons or 539365.75 N. This research was conducted using the finite element method and assisted by ANSYS software. Based on the results of the analysis, the maximum X-axis normal stress is 57.85 MPa which occurs at a sling angle of 45°, the maximum Y-axis normal stress is 143.32 MPa which occurs at a 90° sling angle, the maximum XY shear stress is 51.712 MPa which occurs at a sling angle of 45° and a Von-Mises stress of 151.47 MPa which occurs at a sling angle of 90°. As for the shear strain XY, the maximum strain that occurs at an angle of 45° is 6.4 x and for the maximum Von-Mises strain occurs at an angle of 90° by7.4 x . And the maximum total deformation value is obtained by7,286 x mm that occurs at a sling angle of 45°.For each variation of the sling angle used, the strength of the pad eye still meets the classification requirements because the resulting value is still below the permissible value. The difference in the results obtained after using variations in the angle of the sling shows that the difference in the direction of the pull of the sling has a different effect on the strength of the Pad eye.

Abstract

Biofouling, the accumulation of marine organisms on ship hulls, poses a substantial challenge in the maritime industry. Over time, organisms like algae and molluscs adhere to hull surfaces, creating a biofouling layer that disrupts water flow and increases ship resistance. This study investigates the effects of biofouling on ship resistance and fluid flow patterns along the hull. Data collection involved measuring key ship dimensions, analyzing ship lines plan drawings, and measuring biofouling thickness. Autodesk Computational Fluid Dynamics (CFD) software was used to calculate ship resistance and analyze fluid flow along the hull. Two conditions were compared: a hull without biofouling and a biofouled hull. At a speed of 1.220 m/s, the biofouled ship model exhibited a resistance of 3,739 N, while the clean hull had a resistance of 3,280 N, indicating a 13.642% resistance increase due to biofouling. Fluid flow analysis revealed complex flow patterns along the biofouled hull, potentially reducing operational efficiency. These findings underscore the importance of biofouling prevention and control measures in minimizing resistance and maintaining operational efficiency. A deeper understanding of fluid flow characteristics related to biofouling allows ship operators and companies to make informed decisions about vessel maintenance, reducing environmental impacts and operational costs. This research contributes to addressing biofouling challenges in the maritime industry.
