Analysis of Sea Border Transportation in Indonesia, Case Study: Crossing Between Indonesia and Philippines (Bitung – Davao City)

Indonesia as an archipelagic country consists of thousands of islands and has a large sea area so that the required mode of transportation is sea transportation as a means of mobility and driving national economic development. In addition, Indonesian waters serve as a liaison between cities, as well as between countries. As a border on the island of Sulawesi, the city of Bitung is a link between Indonesia and the city of Davao City in the Philippines. For all of this, security for shipping, especially at the border, is needed to support the smooth delivery of goods by using Ferry Ro/Ro ships so that sea transportation activities in general and trade and economic activities between the two countries can run smoothly because maritime safety greatly affects the continuation of development effort

Analysis of the Effect of Changes in Pitch Ratio and Number of Blades on Cavitation on CPP

Cavitation is a detrimental phenomenon to ship operations because it causes many losses. It caused some effects i.e decreased propeller efficiency, damaged propeller material, lower ship speed, vibration, and extreme noises. In that regard, this research conducts cavitation analysis on controllable pitch propeller (CPP) by varying number of blade i.e. 3, 4 and 5 blades; diameter i.e. 30, 40 cm and 50 cm; also pitch i.e 0.4, 0.6 and 0.8.  The research method is carried out by the author in this study by conducting a simulation method based on the CFD approach. The simulation process consists of 3 stage-post processor, solver manager, and post-processor. From the simulation based on the CFD approach result, it was found that propeller rotation has an effect on the pressure ratio value. As the propeller rotation increase, the value of the pressure ratio will increase as well. The value of the pressure ratio in propeller design affects the cavitation area that occurs in the propeller. The percentage of the cavitation area on the propeller has an increasing tendency with the number of blades, rotation, and pitch. On the propeller with diameter 300 mm, 3 blades, pitch 0.8 at rotation 125 rpm no indication of cavitation, then it increases to 1.41% at rotation 175 rpm and keeps getting higher at rotation 225 to be 4.22% from total propeller expanding area. Whereas at rotation 225 rpm and pitch 0.4 is 3.38 %, then it becomes 3.85 % at pitch 0.6, which is getting bigger at pitch 0.8 that is 4.22 %

Competitive Advantage Analysis of Shipyard Companies in Indonesia

The development of the shipping and shipyard industries in Indonesia over the past ten years has been very slow. Some of the causes, including low productivity and capacity, are the main reasons for this industry's penetration. In addition, the weakening of the national economy as a result of the weakening of the global economy also affected the domestic shipping industry. The competitiveness of the shipping and shipyard industry is influenced by industrial competitiveness and national competitiveness, so that shipyard industry problems must be solved comprehensively, accompanied by strategic and systematic steps in order to be able to compete sustainably. This study aims to analyze the strategies used by several shipping companies and shipyard companies to be able to survive and compete to win and get through severe conditions. This study uses descriptive qualitative method, which is supported by semi-structured interview techniques to obtain the data used in determining the resource person, using a purposive sampling method. The data collected is then tested for validity by using the triangulation of data sources to process the data obtained in developing alternative strategies using SWOT analysis (Strength, Weakness, Opportunities, Threat) In addition to the combination of SWOT methods. The findings of the research results state that all companies carry out defensive strategies so that they are a company that still exists today

Rescue Boat Design Utilizing Reused Plastic Bottles For Accident Preventation

Fiberglass layer of rescue boat has tendency to crack when hit by a heavy wave or involves in accident. As an alternative to this problem, waste plastic disposal is suggested to be reused in filling the displaced volume of the designed rescue boat. The main objective of this paper is to design a fiberglass rescue boat that has arrangement of bottles under the waterline section of the original boat design. The arrangement of waste plastic bottles will avoid the rescue boat from sinking if fiberglass layer of the boat happened to cracked. The design rescue boat will count on density and quantity of waste plastic bottles used at the core of the boat

Analysis of Indonesian Ship Accident 2005-2010

There are so many accident in sea transportation in Indonesia. Accidents occurring in rivers, lakes, and crossing that reached Marine Court in 2005-2010 is due to human error factor (65%), and only a few accidents in the waters caused by natural factors. Given the reasons mentioned above should all accidents can be minimized if prevention efforts from all parties so as not to stumble on the same stone. Most of the accidents happen because of low concern aspects of the safety and security of the crew. The numbers differ from the manifest of passengers and the number of passengers on the field became a regular thing going on. There are four main issues in maritime transport, i.e. no persons or Government agencies that are willing to hold the responsibility of safety and security, tariff policy, the quality of human resources, as well as the implementation and enforcement of the regulations is not clear. Safety of sea transportation should also start from the port conditions are sterile. The port is the main key from out the influx of sea transport. Unfortunately, almost all ports in Indonesia does not have any crossing facilities or equipment to control weight, dimensions, and other types of payloads in any vehicle that boarded the ship. It becomes a threat to the safety of shipping crossing, particularly if a malicious payload that went into the ship without appropriate handling procedures

Indonesian's Ship Safety Assessment Strategy

Indonesia is the worldâs largest archipelago, 2/3 of the country is covered by sea. But due to many factors a lot of ship accidents occurred every year, and claiming a large number of casualties. Efforts have been done to improve the safety of domestic sea transportation, as the result to be fully compliance to the SOLAS regulations, worsen by the varying sea and cargo characteristics, and low educated passengers, they are very vulnerable to accidents. Research is being carried out to explore the most appropriate strategy for ensuring the safety of ship operating on Indonesian waters using various methods, where four most influencing aspects i.e. Software, Hardware, Environment, and Live-ware are put into considerations. The existing conditions and experience learned from the past, backgrounds and sources of accident/incident are investigated, based on the findings feasible strategy is proposed, which will include the design requirements; qualification of personnel, refined rules, and operational efficiency

Safety & Security Analysis of Sea Transportation in Indonesia

Indonesia waters as a liaison between the city and the island, also has a variety of wealth which became the object of the future welfare of the people hope. For these necessary safeguards particularly against sea cruise in the area of maritime safety because Indonesia greatly affect development efforts, especially the continuation of transport activity. Maritime transport holds a very important role in maritime countries, such as in Indonesia whose territory is an archipelago. Associated with maritime transport, there are three aspects that are interlinked with each other, i.e. traffic and sea transportation, port and also the safety and security of the cruise

Trend Analysis of Ship Accidents in Indonesia

There are so many accident in sea transportation in Indonesia. Accidents occurring in rivers, lakes, and crossing that reached Marine Court in 2005-2010 is due to human error factor (88%), and only a few accidents in the waters caused by natural factors. Given the reasons mentioned above should all accidents can be minimized if prevention efforts from all parties so as not to stumble on the same stone. Water transport accidents occur mainly due to overcrowding and navigation system, which is characterized by a large number of passengers and goods compared to the draft Commission. For passengers who do not have the expertise and skills in emergency situations, it is important to note that users of the waterway into the category of vulnerable population groups (vulnerable). Efforts to ensure the safety of passengers and crew must be a serious problem, especially in this trivial security equipment, such as buoys. Current conditions, many ships that do not have safety equipment that should buoy passengers and crew when the vessel hit the accidents. Most of the accidents occur due to the low awareness of the aspects of security and safety of the crew. The figures differ from the manifest of passengers and number of passengers on the ground become commonplace. There are four main issues in maritime transport, it is said, not the individual agencies or Government willing to hold responsibility for the security and safety, pricing policy, the quality of human resources, as well as the implementation and compliance with the rules are not clear
