Abstract

The handling of corrosion on Sultan Hasanuddin Training Ship becomes a very crucial part of sustainable
maintenance. To have the optimal maintenance of the main deck and the head coming, it is required the maximum
implementation of procedure by all crews. This descriptive qualitative research collects the data from the observation and
unstructured interviews, with the involvement of the entire crew which becomes the population of this study. The aim was
to obtain a solution on the constraints faced related to the handling and prevention as well as the treatment of corrosion on
the main deck and head coming. In the prevention of corrosion on the main deck and the head coming, sustained treatment
must be performed according to plan. The Identification of the corrosion causes, and the use of anti-corrosion paint are an
effective system that works. Based on the observation results, there are some mistakes in terms of inappropriate paint used,
unsustainable maintenance system, and the less optimal maintenance activities due to the Officer's lack of knowledge about
it. Similarly, when conducting interviews, some of the Officers had no knowledge of the specifications or components of
the paint substances that are able to prevent the occurrence of corrosion, resulting in the submission of the request to the
Politeknik Ilmu Pelayaran Makassar still using the old request. Moreover, during the treatment process, the unstructured
systematic treatment was performed. For example, after the rust is chipped, the surface should be brushed first to remove
the rust dust and the use of paint thinner as the first layer and the second layer still use paint with thinner and the last layer
will be the paint according to the pre-designed color. As a conclusion, the crews of Sultan Hasanuddin Training Ship require
the initial knowledge and maintenance procedures in accordance with applicable regulations, and there has been no
document related to the maintenance plan and there has been no document that records in detail the maintenance that has
been running.
