Abstract
Loading and unloading is one of the activities carried out on board both when the ship is docked at the
port or ship to ship. However, at the time of loading and unloading that occurred on the ship MT. Giat
Armada 01 problems occur so that the loading and unloading process becomes less optimal.The research
method that the writer uses in this thesis is qualitative descriptive with the Fishbone approach as a data
analysis technique. Fishbone is shaped like a fishbone skeleton whose parts resemble the head and bones
of fish. Fishbone is used to determine the causal relationship of the causal factors, the impact they cause,
and the efforts made to optimize the handling of loading and unloading on the MT.Giat Armada01. The
results of the research conducted, it can be said that loading and unloading handling at MT. Giat Armada
01. is not optimal. caused by the lack of maintenance of the equipment used for loading and unloading,
damaged and poorly maintained cargo pump, lack of heating, lack of application of procedures for
handling loading and unloading, and the length of the Jetty Batilicin pipe line shore. These factors have
an impact on the less optimal handling of loading and unloading during loading and unloading, increased
working hours, damage and loss of equipment used to support loading and unloading activities. To
overcome these factors, it can be done by carrying out maintenance and checking of each tool used for
loading and unloading, carrying out routine repairs and maintenance on the cargo pump, carrying out
cargo maintenance, loading and unloading and squezing according to procedures, and always conducting
safety meetings. before unloading or loading.
