Computer-Based Android Application for Vessel’s Condition Survey by Owner Surveyor

Abstract

Ship condition survey is a survey conducted by an Owner Surveyor for reporting the actual condition of the ship and parts. Presently, the condition survey is still done manually that Owner Surveyor has to survey based on survey list which is published by the ship’s owner company. The survey result will be presented in the form of a report, which will be submitted to ship’s owner as consideration for doing repair and maintenance. The survey process which done presently is not effective and many Owner Surveyors have not sufficient knowledge and experience, and also the process of presenting a survey report which takes a long time. This project was implemented by built an android-based computer application that can assist an Owner Surveyor in the process of a condition survey. This application containes of survey list, survey review, updating survey, and several menus to facilitate Owner Surveyor in the condition survey. This application has been tested by a few respondents who have experience in surveying ships and who have an educational background of naval architecture and shipbuilding engineering. This test was done in the form of a questionnaire aimed to determine the respondents assessment of this application. From the results of the questionnaire could be concluded that the application is very useful in supporting ship condition survey.
