Evaluasi Kapasitas Alat Angkat Kapal Kayu Pengangkut Barang KLM. Alfan Kadar

Abstract

Cargo handling equipment on the ship at an adequate capacity greatly supports the loading and unloading process at the port so that the loading and unloading time becomes faster, more effective, and more efficient. KLM. Alfian Kadar is equipped with a cargo handling device; under normal circumstances, the equipment has a capacity of 1 (one) ton for one-time lifting of goods, but along with the service life, the ability of this lifting device is decreasing and can no longer be used optimally. This research aims to analyze the parts to be replaced or remanufactured so that the function of the lifting equipment has a capacity that allows it to be improved. Evaluation and planning steps include analysis of loading and unloading time duration, planning boom diameter size, hook diameter size, steel rope diameter, pulley dimensions, rope rolling drum dimensions and calculation of motor power driving the lifting equipment. The addition of lifting capacity cargo handling on KLM. Alfian Kadar is still feasible, considering that component adjustments are only made to a small part of the cargo handling components (minor changes). Changes in the lifting capacity to 2 effective tons will significantly reduce the mooring time of the ship, which was initially 3 to 4 working days for one voyage trip, to a maximum of 2 working days, and no longer spend additional costs for port transport labour costs.
