The Influence of Dry Bulk Cargo Discharge Activities on the Occurrence of Short Cargo at PT. Terminal Trluk Lamong Dry bulk unloading activities using grab ship unloaders (GSU) and conveyors often result in an unloading process that differs from the specified loading plan, resulting in a quantity of dry bulk cargo that is lower than stated in the document, known as short cargo.This research uses an associative quantitative method to determine the relationship between loading duration (X1), cargo volume (X2), and short cargo (Y), as well as the simultaneous influence of each factor on short cargo. Multiple linear regression data analysis techniques are used to test the hypothesis, and the data are processed using the SPSS version 27 program. The results showed that unloading duration and cargo volume have a significant, though partial, effect on short cargo. They have an influence of 176.5% and 0.6%, respectively. The variables of loading duration and cargo volume cause short cargo to occur simultaneously. Thus, each factor has an 85.2% simultaneous influence on short cargo, while the remaining 14.8% is influenced by factors outside the scope of the study.

International airports are complex work environments with unique occupational health and safety risks. As hubs of intensive transportation activities, airports involve various operations, including flight services, passenger handling, cargo management, and fuel operations. Early detection of fuel leaks is crucial to ensure the aircraft’s fuel system is free from leaks, blockages, or potential fire hazards. This study aims to analyze the causes of fuel leakage and identify appropriate mitigation measures, using observation and literature review methods. The findings indicate that fuel leakage occurring while the aircraft is parked suggests damage to certain fuel system components, such as seal gaskets, sealants, and dome nuts, which may suffer from wear or cracking due to age-related degradation. Such damage poses serious risks, including fire hazards, corrosion to aircraft structures—particularly in hard-to-reach areas like the wings or fuselage—and a drop in fuel pressure that could impair engine performance or cause flight cancellations. To address these issues, thorough inspections of all fuel system components are essential. Additionally, the use of sensors to detect abnormal changes in fuel pressure and flow, combined with rigorous leak testing after repairs, is recommended to ensure operational safety and reliability.

Worldwide trade is conducted 80% through maritime routes, including the export and import of coal. Coal is a non-renewable energy source, often used as fuel for power plants. As technology advances, detecting metal contaminants in coal cargo becomes crucial to prevent contamination of coal with metal materials. This study aims to (1) understand the operation of a conveyor in transporting coal, and (2) assess how the Proximity inductive sensor detects metal presence. The methods used in this research include real data analysis and literature review, conducted aboard the ship. The researcher designed and developed a prototype system for this purpose. The Proximity inductive sensor is utilized to detect metal contaminants, such as aluminum, iron, and stainless steel, among the coal cargo. The research was carried out during sea practice (prola) aboard the WHS ISKANDAR 1. The findings indicate that the conveyor is driven by a DC motor, and the Proximity inductive sensor effectively detects metals to separate them from the coal cargo, thus purifying the coal from metal contaminants.
