a bulkhead to divide a cargo hold into forward cargo hold and aft cargohold.
Correctly preparation for cargohold was an important factor for cargo operation,
so that the cargo operation would running effective and efficient. A good strategy
and coordination for preparation of cargohold caused the cargo operation would
running correctly and smoothly, effective and efficient.
Theoritical basis used for this research based on supporting book with the
title is kapal dan muatannya, the properties and stowage of cargoes, modern ship
stowage, and seaman ship techniques. The researcher use problem analysis
technique USG (Urgency, Seriousness, Growth) to determine the problem which
becomes the most priority when execution preparation cargohold, so it to be found
the problem solution. The researcher use the method of interview, observation,
documentation and literature research as the data collection technique.
Based on the problem the conclusion is preparation of cargohold did not
implemented correctly. To improve vessel operation for the preparation of
cargohold correctly on MV. African Forest, some advice for crew member and
company to make some schedule for preparation cargohold after finished
discharged some cargo, improve detail accuracy when cleaned a cargohold and
