Ship Unloader is one of the stevedoring tools on land used for stevedoring bulk
cargo. Ship Unloader is also one tool that supports stevedoring activities. In order for
demolition activities to run smoothly, it requires a maximum performance Ship
Unloader. In the activity of discharge of bulk cargo at dock of Tanjung Jati B Jepara
often happened delay which cause demurrage. One cause of the demurrage is the
performance of Ship Unloader is less than the maximum. The purpose of this
research is to know the cause of Ship Unloader work not maximal and improve
performance of Ship Unloader to reduce demurrage.
In this research method used is a qualitative research method that regulates a
research method by using several aspects such as data collection through literature
study, interview and documentation.
From the results of the research can know the factors that cause Ship Unloader
work is not optimal among other weather factors, operator Ship Unloader less
skilled, the condition of payload, and lack of care on Ship Unloader. Based on
research results should PT. Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line makes an effort with weather
checks, giving skill to the new Ship Unloader operator, Loading Master checks the
loading condition to avoid plugging. Ship Unloader must be held regularly and
periodically. Thus PT. Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line can improve Ship Unloader
performance to reduce demurrage.
