Efforts to Improve Engine Crew Discipline in Conducting Port Watchkeeping Duties on Board MT. SEA HORSE
Keywords:
Crew Discipline, Smooth Vessel OperationsAbstract
The objective of this research is to implement routine discipline, particularly during engine room watchkeeping, to ensure smooth vessel operations. In this regard, the Chief Engineer holds the responsibility for managing the crew's discipline during watch duties. The data and findings were obtained directly from on-board observations and relevant reference books. The study identified that the primary cause of indiscipline among the crew on MT. SEA HORSE, specifically within the engine department, is the lack of supervision from the Captain and Chief Engineer. Furthermore, there is a lack of firmness in reprimanding crew members who return late from shore leave, particularly those who return in an unfit condition. To address these issues, preventive measures against shipboard hazards must be prioritized. To ensure a professional maritime workforce, all crew members are required to hold basic training certificates in compliance with IMO standards. This research was conducted on MT. SEA HORSE, owned by PT. ALLOW SHIPPING LIMITED, over a period of one year and four days, from January 10, 2024, to January 15, 2025. In conclusion, increased focus and discipline among the engine crew are essential to maintain seamless vessel operations, whether the ship is at sea or in port.
