Efforts to prevent oil spills in bunker supply activities at Pertamina Trans Kontinental Plaju Branch

Abstract

This study aims to identify and understand the consequences of marine pollution caused by oil spills from the operation of ships used for maritime transport. Data collection methods include library research, documentation, and descriptive data from various sources. The study highlights the importance of effective pollution prevention strategies to minimize the negative impacts of oil spills on marine ecosystems and aquatic environments. The main issue addressed is the prevention of oil spills before they spread and cause extensive damage to ecosystems. The theoretical framework used is human resource management theory related to safety and marine pollution prevention. Data collection methods include observation, interviews, and literature review. Data analysis is conducted through triangulation and continuously until data saturation is achieved. The results indicate that regular training on oil spill handling for all workers is essential. Additionally, the mandatory use of personal protective equipment, such as safety shoes, helmets, and special life jackets, is crucial to prevent fatal consequences from work accidents.
