The berthing process of a vessel depends on many factors, such as vessel
engine, winch power, weather and must pay attention for setting tross rope to make
sure that vessel can berth in good condition, because problems can cause damage for
vessel and environment. The things to be concerned so that berthing process can
progress optimally is by avoiding and minimizing factors that caused berthing
process cannot be optimal.
Based on the author’s experience during sea project on the MT.Pegaden, there
are a lot of problems that happen during berthing process in Single Buoy Mooring
Balongan, so the author was interested in observing and analyzing factors that caused
berthing process cannot be optimal using two methods, there are fishbone analysis to
map the problems and Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT) method as
a problem solving strategies.
The use of fishbone analysis is to map the cause factors of berthing process
not to be optimal, it is divided into 6 parts there are machine, method, material, man,
milieu and measure. After divided into 6 part based on the cause from internal factor
and external factor used IFAS and EFAS, it is followed by implementation of
Strength, Weakness, Opportunity, Threat (SWOT) method to combine the results in
order to get the most effective strategy so that the berthing process can be optimal.
Key word : Optimization, berthing, Single Buoy Mooring, Balongan
