Belawan Port is a strategic port in North Sumatra with export-import activities reaching 5,000 tons per year, making it an important terminal in supporting international trade and regional economic growth. This research examines the role of daily work reports in dry bulk cargo unloading operations at PT. Wahana Intradermaga Niaga Belawan as a Stevedoring Company (PBM) responsible for ensuring the smooth process of loading and unloading at the port. The research methodology employs library research approach and direct field observation. The dry bulk cargo unloading process involves the inaportnet system and operates for 24 hours with three work shifts. Activities include four main types of operations: stevedoring (transferring cargo from ship to wharf), cargodoring (transfer from wharf to warehouse), delivery (shipment outside the port), and receiving (acceptance from factory to warehouse). The daily report document is a list of all cargo unloading activities during 24 hours at wharf 112. Daily work reports function as structured documentation of daily activities, conveying work progress updates, supporting performance monitoring, and serving as a reference for operational evaluation. The report's usefulness includes strengthening accountability, reducing misunderstandings, early problem detection, consistency in task implementation, and orderly documentation of unloading activities.

Container loading and unloading activities are complex and involve various parties, making them highly susceptible to risks, both from internal and external aspects. Risks that can occur include system disruptions, operational negligence, equipment damage, and environmental factors such as extreme weather that can affect the smoothness of the loading and unloading process. Therefore, the company needs to have a structured, comprehensive, and sustainable risk management system to maintain operational continuity. This research method refers to the COSO framework and the ISO 31000:2018 standard which focuses on the process of risk identification, assessment of likelihood and impact levels, and formulation of appropriate mitigation strategies. Data were obtained through interviews with management, field observations, and analysis of company documents. The results of the study indicate that the implementation of ERM is able to map risks more systematically, making it easier for the company to determine handling priorities. Several risks with a high probability and significant impact received special attention through the implementation of mitigation strategies such as improving information technology systems, routine employee training, and more scheduled equipment maintenance. These findings indicate that ERM implementation not only functions as a risk control tool but also plays a role in increasing operational efficiency, strengthening inter-departmental coordination, and minimizing potential losses that could disrupt company stability. Furthermore, ERM implementation makes a real contribution to increasing the competitiveness of companies in the logistics and stevedoring sector, especially in facing dynamic business challenges and external environmental uncertainty.

The Cargo oil pump is one of the auxiliary units on board a ship, used to transfer cargo from one location to another during loading and unloading operations. On the MT Pangrango vessel, an issue occurred with the cargo oil pump: its performance declined, resulting in slow suction during the unloading process. This problem hindered efficient cargo operations, as the pump was not functioning properly.This study aims to identify the contributing factors, impacts, and countermeasures for the decreased performance of the cargo oil pump. The research methodology applied in this thesis involved a descriptive approach combined with Miles and Huberman’s analytical method, with data validity tested via triangulation. Data collection techniques used to identify the problem included observation, interviews, documentation, and literature review.The results revealed that the pump’s shaft was worn due to excessive friction, and the ball bearing s exhibited wear and disintegration caused by lack of lubrication (grease). The recommended corrective actions were to add material to the shaft , perform realignment to correct any shaft misalignment, and implement routine maintenance—specifically, monthly grease lubrication. These measures, when properly applied, can significantly reduce the risk of Cargo oil pump damage.

The port is a vital infrastructure in the global logistics chain that connects sea and land transportation.

The specific objectives include identifying information needs in cargo handling operations and developing a BI dashboard that suits the characteristics of port operations. The findings indicate that the dashboard effectively supports real-time decision-making and enhances operational efficiency. The study also highlights the importance of addressing technological infrastructure, human resource readiness, and system integration challenges in BI implementation.

Loading and unloading is the activity of moving goods from land transportation, and to carry out the activity of moving the load, adequate facilities or equipment are needed in a shipping method or procedure. The implementation of loading and unloading occurs various obstacles that often slow down loading and unloading activities, especially in the 3T (Underdeveloped, Frontier, and Outermost) areas. The equipment and facilities available by the port greatly affect how fast or slow the loading and unloading activities take place. This study aims to determine: 1) What are the factors that cause delays in the loading and unloading process of containers in the 3T area 2) What efforts are made by company and port management in overcoming delays in the loading and unloading process of containers in the 3T area. The method used by the researcher this time is descriptive qualitative. Primary data in this study were obtained directly through interviews, observations (observations) and also documentation. The main factors that are the main causes of why loading and unloading activities in the 3T area are ineffective and inefficient, namely the lack of adequate loading and unloading equipment and port facilities, the lack of human resources and skills from TKBM, as well as geographical conditions and bad weather. This situation causes loading and unloading activities to be ineffective.

Belawan Port as the main port in Indonesia plays an important role in international trade. The Main Harbormaster and Port Authority Office (KSOP) of Belawan has the authority to supervise operational activities at the Port including regulating stevedoring workers (TKBM). This regulation is implemented through the TKBM Monitoring System (SIMON TKBM) to manage workers efficiently, transparently, and safely. This study uses a qualitative descriptive approach with literature study methods, interviews, observations and documentation then analyzed using data reduction methods, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The results of the study showed that the role of KSOP is very central in regulating TKBM through SIMON TKBM which includes TKBM supervision, competency improvement, rule enforcement, and coordination with stakeholders. However, technical obstacles were also found including the failure of duplicate data management and the absence of an automatic age filter in the system, as well as practical obstacles, namely the lack of coordination regarding TKBM competency certificates.

Ports are critical infrastructure in maritime transportation, facilitating the movement of goods and people while serving as hubs for economic activities. The Tanjung Pakis Class III Harbormaster and Port Authority Office (KSOP) utilizes the Electronic Reporting Information (SIRANI) application for reporting loading and unloading data. However, challenges such as discrepancies, technical disruptions, and delays in data processing often arise. This study aims to describe the loading and unloading data processing and the efficiency of reporting time on the SIRANI application at KSOP Class III Tanjung Pakis. Employing a descriptive qualitative approach through interviews, observations, and documentation, the research finds that data processing is less effective due to low data validity and errors in the Inaportnet platform. Reporting to SIRANI is also inefficient due to delays in data handling and technical issues with the application. Corrective measures, such as early data verification and manual data handling by reporting officers, have improved effectiveness by reducing the process from five to three steps and cutting reporting time from 6 hours to 3 hours and 30 minutes. The study concludes that optimizing data processing and inter-unit coordination can enhance the effectiveness and efficiency of reporting. Recommendations for future research include real-time integration and the development of backup mechanisms to address technical disruptions.

The role of Cargo Handling on the Loading and Unloading Process at PT Terminal Teluk Lamong is very important for the loading and unloading process at the port. This research aims to identify various technical and non technical obstacles in the operation of cargo handling equipment such as ASC, forklift, and reach stacker. The interview results showed that there are four main factors that become obstacles in the loading and unloading process, namely machines, methods, facilities, and manpower. Further analysis using fishbone diagrams reinforced these findings by outlining the causes of each factor, ranging from machine interference, wrong container placement methods, limited technological facilities such as Container Scanner Reader (CSR), to the driver’s lack of understanding of the automation system. Quantitatively, the efficiency of cargo handling was evaluated through the 2023 container throughput, which showed a positive trend with a significant increase in load activity, especially in October which recorded the highest number of 39.106 Boxes. The analysis concluded that although there are various obstacles in cargo handling practices, the system implemented by PT Terminal Teluk Lamong has generally been able to improve the efficiency of the loading and unloading process, as evidenced by the volume of container handling.

The loading and unloading process involves moving goods from one place to another, often requiring specialized equipment such as a wire crane. In maritime operations, unexpected incidents like wire crane breakage can occur. Wire crane breakage refers to damage in the sling wire of a ship's crane, reducing its lifting capacity and causing the wire fibres to unravel. During sea-based fieldwork on the MV. Pacific Bulk, researchers observed a wire crane failure during loading and unloading operations, which caused delays and financial losses. This study aims to identify the causes of wire crane breakage on the MV. Pacific Bulk and examine its technical and operational impacts. Using a qualitative descriptive method and fishbone analysis for data interpretation, the study found several contributing factors: wire corrosion, crane age, lack of standard operating procedures (SOPs) for crane maintenance, insufficient crew, inadequate maintenance, lack of routine inspections, and challenging environmental conditions. The research also highlights the technical and operational consequences of such failures, including delays and economic loss. To address the issue, the study suggests implementing scheduled periodic inspections following SOPs, applying regular lubrication, and maintaining data records of the wire crane’s lifespan. These preventative measures aim to improve operational efficiency and avoid future wire crane failures.

This study aims to examine the effect of idle time on the productivity of dry bulk loading and unloading activities at the Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE). The research employed a quantitative correlational approach, with data collection techniques including observation, documentation, and company records. The research sample consisted of 12 vessels engaged in loading and unloading at Java Integrated Industrial and Port Estate (JIIPE) port during the period from January to July 2024. The analysis revealed a correlation coefficient of -0.16, indicating a very weak negative relationship between idle time and productivity. The coefficient of determination, at 2.56%, suggests that idle time contributes only marginally to productivity, while the remainder is influenced by other factors. The factors affecting idle time include weather conditions, equipment failures, and truck delays. The conclusion indicates that while idle time does impact productivity, the effect is not statistically significant..
