Work rather than ballast pumps is very important in the effort of loading and
unloading operations on board. The need for maintenance, repair and attention to the
ballast pump is one jobs of engineer do for the smooth operation of unloading. Ball
bearings are an important component of ballast pumps because they can be widely
used and important. The purpose of this research is to find out anything that affects
the performance of ballast pumps caused by damage from ball bearings in MV. Sari
Indah and impact on ballast pump and how to overcome the damage.
In this writing the authors use descriptive qualitative methods and data analysis
techniques with SWOT is the identification of various factors in a systematic manner
that aims to reveal facts, circumstances, phenomena, variables and circumstances that
occur when the study runs and provide data as it is so that in this study get the results
research that actually takes place in MV. Sari Indah. The result of the research shows
that ball bearing damage on ballast pump caused by PMS (Plant Maintenance
System) is not executed according to the requirement, the quality of ball bearings
that do not meet the standard and there is contamination of dust and dirt.
The purpose of this research is to know what causes of ball bearing damage on
the ballast pump, any impact if ball bearing damage occurs on the ballast pump, and
any attempt to prevent the occurrence of ball bearing damage on the ballast pump for
the ballast pump to work with the maximum, and not inhibiting loading or unloading
process on board. In the implementation of the identification can be obtained the
factors and effects caused, and the results can be used to find alternative
improvements so that ball bearing damage to the ballast pump can be reduced.
Key Word: Ball bearing, maintenance, repair and ballast pump.
