Abstract

Tanjung Perak Port is one of the main ports in Indonesia that serves the distribution of goods in eastern Indonesia, with increasing sea transport activities at the port. It is necessary for the shipping access channel to accommodate these activities. The Surabaya western access channel (APBS) has been done revitalization of course will be more vessels that will cross APBS, the number of ships that cross the access channel will certainly cause the risk of a cruise accident, for that need to be done review for mapping the risk of accidents in the Surabaya western access channel. The purpose of this study is to improve the safety of shipping by applying the risk of accidents in APBS by using Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) methodology. The results of the study show the causes of accidents before the revitalization is 40 cases of accidents while the accident that occurred after the revitalization is as many as 18 cases with the most causes of human factor. Increasing the safety of the shipping is necessary with increase the competence of human and law enforcement of shipping activities in the APBS.

Highlights

  • The shipping channel is one of the main facilities of a port and has an important role as an exit and entry to the port

  • Quality of service in Tanjung Perak Port is very important as well as the safety factor of shipping in Tanjung Perak waters

  • The largest vessel using APBS for bulk carriers is with Gross Tonnage 51,984 GT with LOA: 230 meters and draft: 14.6 meters

Summary

Introduction

The shipping channel is one of the main facilities of a port and has an important role as an exit and entry to the port. The largest vessel using APBS for bulk carriers is with Gross Tonnage 51,984 GT with LOA: 230 meters and draft: 14.6 meters. After the revitalization of the channel, ships more use the channel, the number of ships that cross the channel will certainly cause the risk of crash accident. It is necessary to study for mapping of accident risk in the channel with use of Formal Safety Assessment (FSA) method. If ships are monitored more cautiously and implemented of law enforcement, the risk of accidents can be reduced. In this case, any risk from the cause of accidents in the APBS can be reduced by 10-40% and the benefits of accident risk reduction can save expenses by 30 - 50%.
