Abstract

Indonesia is a country whose territory consists mostly of waters and islands, to support the health sector, especially for remote and inland areas and disaster emergency response activities, a means of transportation is needed that can cover and serve the area, one of which is the Hospital Auxiliary Ship (BRS). This ship is equipped with hospital facilities and infrastructure equivalent to a Type C Hospital. In its operation, the ship cannot be separated from mooring activities, therefore, the existence of a windlass as a supporting facility for lowering anchor activities is important. The windlass foundation must have optimal strength and efficiency by taking into account the reference or class as the standard used. With these considerations, this research was conducted to determine the optimality of the windlass foundation used by the Hospital Auxiliary Ship, by analyzing the maximum stress value, maximum deflection, and safety factor using the Finite Element Method. The analysis is carried out by providing load variations, namely ship loads and environmental loads. The simulation results will be compared with the calculation results based on Lloyd's Register Rules and Regulation and Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia (BKI) regulations. Reviewing the simulation results due to ship loads and environmental loads when the windlass angle is 0o, the maximum stress is 25.56 MPa, the maximum deflection is 0.01366 mm, and the safety factor is 7.81. Meanwhile, when the windlass angle is 25o, the maximum stress is 23.29 MPa, the maximum deflection is 0.01346 mm, and the safety factor is 8.58. Based on the results of calculations and analysis, it is concluded that several criteria with several angular positions formed by the windlass before and during operation still meet the criteria set by Lloyd's Register Rules and Regulation and Biro Klasifikasi Indonesia.
