Implementation of stripping has an important role in the smooth process of
unloading on board. The presence of complaints from loading master and
surveyor about the rest of the cargo, a reprimand from the company about the
latter of protest, and a lack of understanding from the surveyor and loading master
into the background of the problems in this stripping process. The purpose of this
study is to know the factors that need to be taken into account and note, and know
how to overcome the less optimal stripping process.
In this thesis the research method used is descriptive qualitative
method.Descriptive qualitative is a research method undertaken to determine the
value of independent variables or more (independent) without making
comparisons or combining between variables one with another variable.
Based on the results of research that researchers obtain then it can be
concluded the results of stripping on methanol unloading process on MT perla
vessels can be optimal if both factors are natural factors and technical factors are
handled properly. Natural factors such as thunderstorms, lightning and the
surrounding sea conditions can affect the stripping process, which is the delay of
laycane and is dangerous to the connection between existing vessels. Efforts to
overcome this is to coordinate with the terminal to carry out temporary stop
because if it continues to endanger the ship and terminal and temporarily decide
the equipment that connects between the ship and the terminal (hose or loading
arm). Technical factors to be considered include the lack of handling the slope of
the ship or list, trim the ship, the speed of the pump round, wind pressure, as well
as the condition of the pipe and valve stripping. Attempts to be made for that
matter are the chief officer or the duty officer to carry out periodic checks to
ensure that the vessel is always ready for the unloading or stripping process and
coordination with the engine room well to maximize the work of the equipment to
be used (wind pressure and charge pump).
