Armada Papua saat Menghadapi Cuaca Buruk "It aims to minimize the occurrence of ship accidents in the sea, especially in times of unfavorable weather conditions, and can improve the ability of Ship officers in carrying out procedures when navigating in heavy weather conditions. By using qualitative descriptive method and using SWOT method as problem solving method. describes the situation or event and describes and describes the object under study in order to obtain an explanation of the object to be discussed. In a broader sense this method can be seen from the description of the phenomena, explain the relationships, test the hypothesis, and make existing penyelesaean strategies when doing research in Km. Armada Papua. Based on the results of this study the authors can conclude that in navigating during bad weather Mentals must carry out observations, optimize the navigation tool and apply existing procedures and regulations. And implement the strategy as a step to save the ship from heavy weather by avoiding the bad weather.
