Depreciation charge is an event where the charge in the tank is reduced from
the boat load to ship unloading. From the description, tlere is a problem that can be
ccncluded is fakor-factors that can cause shrinkage of the charge and e{Torts to
prevent the depreciation charge on the ship MT" Sele. Then the author uses
descriptive qualitative approach. Descriptive-qualitative method is the study of
people and experiences that are reproduced with the collection of documents and
archives. The study compares the actual cases that occurred in the field with the
theories of the study of literature relevant to the problem under study that found the
caus€ of the problem.
In a study conducted by the author, the depreciation charge due to a lack of
understanding regarding the measurement procedures ABK correct charge. This
incident occurred while the ship finished loading at the port of Balikpapan, the
incident occurred when the helmsman perform retrieval of temperature with no
regard innage charge is measured but the helmsman ia carrying out the mea$urement
by providing a benchmark based on the depth of the tank load, so the level of
accufircy of measurement of temperature payload right and can not be used as the
basis for calculating the charge" The second incident at the time in the port of loading
was found that the measuring instrument UTI in disrepair so that the implementation
of temprature measurement using a hydrometer rvhich takes a long time in the
process of measurement using a sounding and ullage manual. This causes the
temperature making only done in three tanks of the total 10 tank with the intention of
speeding up the process of measuring the charge" Then the temperature of the tank
three are averaged for use in the calculation of the overall tank located on board the
ship and used for the calculation of the charge by adjusting the amount contained in
the bill of lading so that the process of loading can be immediately implemented.
At the end wilt be a number of conclusions thai the factors that led to the
depreciation charge is due to a lack of understanding of the measurement p,rocedure
ABK oil and use the correct tools. So shrinkage cergo vessel that often ocsurs due to
a lack of accuracy in decision ABK temperature and lack of knowledge in the use of
the corrrct tools.
