UPAYA PENCEGAHAN TERBUANGNYA MUATAN BATU BARA PADA MV. LUMOSO KASIH SAAT KEGIATAN MUAT

Abstract

This thesis discusses efforts to prevent the loss of coal cargo on the MV. Lumoso Kasih during loading activities. Maritime shipping plays a crucial role in the distribution of goods, and the transportation of coal using bulk carriers is one of the most efficient methods. However, during the loading process, there is often a loss of cargo due to various factors, such as the suboptimal use of floating cranes, inadequate supervision, and unfavorable weather conditions. This research aims to identify the causes of cargo loss and provide alternative solutions to enhance loading efficiency. The methodology employed in this study is qualitative descriptive, with data collection through observation, interviews, and documentation. The findings indicate that a lack of equipment maintenance, insufficient oversight, and the absence of clear procedures are the main factors contributing to cargo loss. Therefore, it is recommended to implement stricter loading procedures, enhance crew training, and conduct weather risk analyses prior to loading. By taking these steps, it is expected that the efficiency of coal loading can be improved, thereby reducing economic losses and increasing trust between producers and consumers.
