Work accidents when entering enclosed spaces (water ballast tank) pose a high risk that can endanger the safety of ship crew. This study aims to identify: 1) the factors causing work accidents during entry into the enclosed space (water ballast tank) on MT. Emmanuel; and 2) efforts to minimize the risk of such accidents. This research was conducted over 12 months during onboard practical training on MT. Emmanuel using fishbone analysis as the data analysis technique. Based on the analysis, accident causes include worker overconfidence, non-compliance with the permit to enter procedures, lack of oxygen and toxic gas monitoring, and poor communication among crew members. Suggested measures to minimize accidents are the regular implementation of safety meetings, internal sanctions for SOP violators, periodic drills for entering hazardous spaces, and disciplined enforcement of the permit to enter in accordance with ISGOTT 5th Edition Chapter 10 standards. The implementation of these steps is expected to improve crew safety and reduce the risk of accidents in enclosed spaces.

This study aims to analyze the impact of overtime work on physical and mental fatigue of the crew of the MV ship. Manalagi Tisya, by identifying the causal factors and consequences that may arise due to additional working hours. In this study, the researcher will apply a qualitative research method with a descriptive approach. This research was conducted by the author on the MV ship. Manalagi Tisya owned by PT Pelayaran Manalagi which is a subsidiary of PT Salam Pacific Indonesia Lines, with the ship call sign "YBTL2" and a total load capacity of 52201 MT. Data collection techniques in this study used observation, interviews and documentation. Data analysis techniques used data reduction, data presentation, drawing conclusions. Testing the validity of this research data used source triangulation, technical triangulation, and time triangulation. Based on the results of the study, it explains that the Overtime Pattern: The crew of the MV ship. Manalagi Tisya experienced an average of 4.5 hours of overtime per day, with the Engine Department experiencing the highest overtime (an average of 5.2 hours). Overtime most often occurs during loading and unloading at the port (35%) and when facing bad weather (27%), Physical Impact: Continuous overtime causes significant physical impacts in the form of sleep disturbances (80%), back and waist pain (70%), and muscle pain (60%), Mental Impact: As many as 85% of crew experience moderate to severe mental fatigue due to overtime, with the main symptoms being difficulty concentrating (75%), irritability (65%), and decreased decision-making ability (60%). Safety: There is a strong positive correlation (r = 0.82) between the duration of overtime and the frequency of safety incidents. The risk of incidents increases by 28% for every additional 2 hours of overtime, Work Performance: Overtime has an impact on decreased work performance, especially in problem-solving skills (45%), compliance with procedures (41%), and effective communication (37%), Overtime Management: The most effective overtime management strategies are task rotation and fatigue management training, but their implementation is still not optimal. Limited number of personnel and operational demands are the main obstacles in minimizing overtime, Regulatory Compliance: Average working hours of MV ship crew. Keywords: Overtime Work, Physical Fatigue, Mental Crew.

In the maritime industry, the International Maritime Organization (IMO) fully supports gender equality programs. IMO's form of support regarding gender equality is stated in resolution 14 of the Standard of Training Certification and Watchkeeping for Seafarers (STCW) Amendment 2010, which states that IMO supports women to play an active role in the maritime industry, including their active role as ship crew. Male and female crew members have different leadership qualities. This research aims to determine the differences in leadership characteristics of male and female crew members and to determine the relationship between leadership characteristics and gender perspectives on organizational conditions on ships. This research is qualitative research. The approach used in this research is grounded theory.  The results of this research lead to the knowledge that differences in the gender of ship crew who are leaders will cause differences in treatment of subordinates or humans in an organization on a ship. At the middle level, the leadership results of male crew members are less effective than female crew members. Meanwhile, the leadership character of male crew members will be maximized when they have full power in the highest position in the organizational structure on the ship.

Leadership style plays a very important role in determining employee discipline because the leader can be used as an example and determinant for his subordinates. The style of a disciplined leader can affect the discipline of employees / subordinates. Another phenomenon is the provision of proper motivation, where it will be able to generate enthusiasm, passion and sincerity of work. The purpose of this study was to determine and analyze: 1) the influence of women's leadership style on work discipline, 2) the effect of work motivation on work discipline, 3) the influence of women's leadership styles on performance, 4) the effect of work motivation on performance, and 5) the effect of work discipline on performance. This type of research is causal associative quantitative with a survey approach. This research was conducted on a ship crew where there was a female leader/officer on the deck and the engine department with a total population of 60 people. The results showed 1) leadership style had a significant effect on work discipline, 2) work motivation had a significant effect on work discipline, 3) women's leadership style had a significant effect on performance, 4) work motivation had a significant effect on performance and 5) work discipline had significant effect on performance.
