ANALISIS KENDALA OLAH GERAK BEACHING DI KAPAL LCT. SANJAYA 01

Abstract

This article examines the operational constraints encountered during beaching maneuvers performed by LCT Sanjaya 01 and the countermeasures taken to address them. A descriptive qualitative approach was applied, combining interviews with the master and chief officer, field observation of the beaching process, documentary study of ship records, and a review of relevant literature. Data were processed through condensation, structured presentation, and conclusion verification. The results indicate that delays and disturbances in beaching operations stem from three interrelated sources: crew readiness, the technical condition of mooring and ramp equipment, and environmental dynamics such as current, wind, wave direction, and water depth at the beaching point. A notable case occurred at Jetty Suaran, where a strong river current combined with heavy rain and gusting wind caused the forward mooring line to part during the approach phase. Mitigation measures identified include crew selection and familiarization briefings, scheduled maintenance of the winch, wire rope, and ramp door, and closer coordination between deck and engine departments supported by structured safety meetings and VHF communication protocols. The study concludes that successful beaching depends on the integrated management of vessel readiness, environmental assessment, and human competence
