The weather conditions were very difficult to ascertain, although
predictable. Bad weather at sea often caused a negative impact on the sailling as
an accident. Like when it was sailing from New Zealand to Japan, right on the
Pacific Ocean in accordance news weather waves of the sea state is very bad due
to low pressure. The waves are very high and very disturbing rate of ships mainly
to the safety of the ship and its crew. So the author discusses the problems of
motion exercise capability in the face of bad weather.
We use the qualitative methods and resulting Descriptive data is in the
form of written words of the people and observed behavior. In here we collect
data like of approach to the object through observation, interviews directly to the
subject as well as the use of documents and data related to efforts to improve the
ability of manoeuvre in bad weather during the writer practice on board..
Based on the results of research by the author during practice at the MV.
Vinca about optimization navigation ship in bad weather, the problems are lack of
knowledge of the crew in working out the motion when the weather is bad and if
the drill will face bad weather that caused differences in skill crew. Discussion of
research result is Master giving guidance periodically to his Officer to know the
best way how to move the process vessel in bad weather, know about her
character and ability of the ship, as well as the ship was able to be processed
motion without causing harm or damage. In this case of lack of training or drill if
it is going to face the bad weather that caused the decline crew skills, efforts made
by the Master is giving direction and verbal or written warning to the crew who
violate. Thus concluded a lack of knowledge of the crew in processing the
manouvre of ships in bad weather and lack of training if it is going to face the bad
weather that caused differences crew skills. The author’s suggestion is held
briefings on a regular basis as well as an understanding of the crew to know the
best way how to cultivate the movement of ships and should be on board carried
out an exercise or drill on a regular basis to keep the skills of the crew, to be held
briefing beforehand, and give warning verbally and in writing the crew were
