• (PENGERTIAN) The Global Maritime Distress and Safety System (GMDSS) is a worldwide system for
automated emergency signal communication for ships at sea.
• (MACAM MACAM GMDSS) all GMDSS-regulated ships must carry a satellite EPIRB, a NAVTEX receiver
(if they travel in any areas served by NAVTEX), an Inmarsat-C (if they travel in any areas not served by
NAVTEX), a DSC-equipped VHF radiotelephone, two (if between 300 and less than 500 GRT) or three
VHF handhelds (if 500 GRT or more), and two 9 GHz search and rescue radar transponders (SART)
• DAILY TESTS
➢ VHF DSC
• During the mandatory daily testing, the internal connections, the transmitting
output power and the device display are checked. The functioning of the DSC system is tested
without transmitting any signals and using the built-in test facility.
➢ MF/HF DSC
• The daily test is also performed with built-in testing equipment without radiating
signals.
➢ INMARSAT-C
• It is important to make sure that the device is logged-in, in the desired Ocean
Region. The data should be displayed on the top line of the screen.
➢ GMDSS batteries
• Batteries, as a reserve energy source, should also be tested once a day; during the
test, their charge status is checked.
• WEEKLY TEST
➢ MF/HF DSC
Live testing on the MF/HF DSC distress and safety frequencies with coast stations is limited
to once a week. More frequent test calls overload the system, creating interference for
distress and safety calls.
To check the operation of the DSC facilities, it is necessary to make a test call to a coast
radio station fitted with DSC, on MF (i.e. on 2187.5 kHz) and on one HF channel. Note that
not every shore stations has an automatic acknowledgement facility. If this is the case,
contact the station by R/T and request for an acknowledgement on their working
frequencies (for example, on MF 2189.5/2177 kHz).
There is another way to check the performance of MF/HF equipment. If possible, you can
send a test call to a passing vessel and request confirmation.
➢ VHF DSC
Once a week, it is recommended to perform a DSC call between the two sets of VHF. To do
this, a selective call to the duplicate set on your own ship can be made (preferably using the
lower power setting). After making sure that the automatic acknowledgement function is
enabled, both sets can be tested with a single call.
• MONTHLY TEST
➢ VHF Handheld Radio
The check is carried out monthly at a frequency other than Ch.16 (other than on 156.8
MHz). If the transceiver has a sealed type, this becomes impractical.
➢ 406 MHZ EPIRB
The self-test function of EPIRBs should be checked at least once a month. The beacons are
also to be examined for physical damage. It is necessary to check the expiration date of the
battery and the condition of the HRU (hydrostatic release unit), to check for the lanyard and
the conditions of contact with seawater. The safety clip must be properly attached.
➢ AIS-SART
At least once a month, the AIS-SART should be visually inspected and checked for the
battery expiry date. It is also important to ensure that the MMSI label is legible and the
support stand is intact.
AIS-SART testing should be carried out sparingly to extend the battery life and prevent
unintentional activation.
When conducting the test in port, the port authorities must be warned in advance about
the activation. The successful completion of the test will be indicated by the ship's devices
accepting AIS data (AIS unit, ECDIS, radars).
➢ X-band SART
SARTs are not required to be tested routinely, however, they should be physically
examined at least once a month. It is important to pay attention to the expiration date of
the battery, as well as to the safety clip, it should be on its own place.
It is not recommended to perform a self-test whilst at sea. If the activation takes place in
port, you must first notify the port authority of your intentions.
The self-test of a number of SARTs is a live test. The user's guide will help you conduct the
test correctly.
If there is still a valid reason to perform the SART test at sea, the vessel should first check its
3-cm radar to see if any ships are within range. Then, before any live activation of the SART,
a safety priority VHF DSC announcement should be made. It is considered enough that the
SART is active for only 2 or 3 sweeps of the radar.

Details the discharge criteria and measures for the control of pollution by noxious
liquid substances carried in bulk; some 250 substances were evaluated and included
in the list appended to the Convention; the discharge of their residues is allowed only
to reception facilities until certain concentrations and conditions (which vary with the
category of substances) are complied with.
o Category X: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a major hazard to either
marine resources or human health and, therefore, justify the prohibition of the
discharge into the marine environment;
o Category Y: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a hazard to either marine
resources or human health or cause harm to amenities or other legitimate uses of the
sea and therefore justify a limitation on the quality and quantity of the discharge into
the marine environment;
o Category Z: Noxious Liquid Substances which, if discharged into the sea from tank
cleaning or deballasting operations, are deemed to present a minor hazard to either
marine resources or human health and therefore justify less stringent restrictions on
the quality and quantity of the discharge into the marine environment; and
o Other Substances: substances which have been evaluated and found to fall outside
Category X, Y or Z because they are considered to present no harm to marine
resources, human health, amenities or other legitimate uses of the sea when

SART
• (PENGERTIAN) A Search and Rescue Transponder (SART) is an electronic device that
automatically reacts to the emission of a radar. This enhances the visibilty on a radar
screen. SART transponders are used to ease the search of a ship in distress or a
liferaft.
• (CARA KERJA SART) If the rescue vessel approaches the SART, the twelve dots will
become short arcs. These arcs increase in size if the vessel gets closer. If the rescue
vessel is very close, the SART will be activated permanentely by the side lobes of the
radar antenna. The signal of the SART will then be visible as twelve complete circles
on the radar screen. This will tell the search -and-rescue team that they have more or
less arrive
• (CARA TEST SART)
➢ Switch SART to test mode.
➢ Hold SART in view of the radar antenna.
➢ Check that the visual indicator light operates.
➢ Check that the audible beeper operates.
➢ Observe the radar display and see if there are concentric circles on the PPI.
➢ Check the battery expiry date.

• IMO Code means the Code of Practice published by the International Maritime
Organisation on the International Maritime Dangerous Goods.
STOWAGE PLAN
• ( PENGERTIAN ) A stowage plan is a map that shows where cargo should be placed on
a ship. It's important because it ensures safe and efficient loading, preventing
overloading and damage while keeping the ship balanced.
OIL SPIIL
• (TINDAKAN SAAT OIL SPILL) Contain the spill by using booms and spill berms. Prevent
oil from entering storm or sewer drains (seal floor drains, drain inlets and curb inlets).
Use spill kits, sorbent pads, and granular oil sorbents to clean up spill. Use granular oil
sorbents to clean up oil spill.
MAINTENANCE
• (PENGERTIAN) Ship repair and maintenance is a proactive, planned process. It involves regularly
inspecting a vessel’s key on-board systems and carrying out any necessary works to ensure these
are kept in optimum working condition.
• The on-board safety of crew should always be of paramount importance. Regular inspections of a
vessels' equipment can help to spot any potential issues early, thereby allowing them to be
rectified before they cause an accident, injury, fatality, or other serious issues. Ship maintenance will
usually involve regular inspections of all the vessel’s safety-critical systems, such as:
➢ Hull
➢ Lifeboats
➢ Electrical systems
➢ Navigation equipment
➢ Fire suppression systems
➢ Emergency power systems
Proactively checking for wear, damage, or malfunction ensures the vessel is in optimum
working condition. In turn, this helps to mitigate risk and ensure the safety of the crew
while on-board.
RAMP DOOR
• (PENGERTIAN) The ramp door is the main part of the LCT ship which is used to facilitate the
loading and unloading process of cargo, heavy equipment and construction materials and a
structure placed on the foreshore for the purpose of loading and unloading
ANGLE OF LOL
• (PENGERTIAN) Angle of loll is the state of a ship that is unstable when upright (i.e. has a
negative metacentric height) and therefore takes on an angle of heel to either port or starboard.
• (CARA MEMPERBAIKI ANGLE OF LOLL) An angle of loll can be corrected only by lowering the
centre of gravity, not by moving loads transversely. This can be done by moving weight
downwards, adding water ballast in double bottom tanks or removing weight above the ship
vertical centre of gravity.
CARA MENGHITUNG GM
• (PENGERTIAN) The metacentric height (GM) is a measurement of the initial static stability of a floating
body. It is calculated as the distance between the centre of gravity of a ship and its metacentre. A
larger metacentric height implies greater initial stability against overturning. The metacentric height
also influences the natural period of rolling of a hull, with very large metacentric heights being
associated with shorter periods of roll which are uncomfortable for passengers. Hence, a sufficiently,
but not excessively, high metacentric height is considered ideal for passenger ships.
• ( PENJELASAN ) ship with a small GM will be "tender" - have a long roll period. An excessively low or
negative GM increases the risk of a ship capsizing in rough weather. It also puts the vessel at risk of
potential for large angles of heel if the cargo or ballast shifts. A ship with low GM is less safe if
damaged and partially flooded because the lower metacentric height leaves less safety margin. A
larger metacentric height on the other hand can cause a vessel to be too "stiff"; excessive stability is
uncomfortable for passengers and crew. This is because the stiff vessel quickly responds to the sea as
it attempts to assume the slope of the wave. An overly stiff vessel rolls with a short period and high
amplitude which results in high angular acceleration. This increases the risk of damage to the ship and
to cargo and may cause excessive roll in special circumstances where eigenperiod of wave coincide
with eigenperiod of ship roll. Roll damping by bilge keels of sufficient size will reduce the hazard.
Criteria for this dynamic stability effect remain to be developed. In contrast, a "tender" ship lags
behind the motion of the waves and tends to roll at lesser amplitudes. A passenger ship will typically
have a long rolling period for comfort, perhaps 12 seconds while a tanker or freighter might have a
rolling period of 6 to 8 seconds
PLIMSOL MARK
• (PENGERTIAN) The Plimsoll line is a reference mark located on a ship’s hull that indicates the
maximum depth to which the vessel may be safely immersed when loaded with cargo.This depth
varies with a ship’s dimensions, type of cargo, time of year, and the water densities encountered in
port and at sea.
• BAGIAN BAGIAN PLIMSOL MARK
NAVIGATION LIGHT
• (PENGERTIAN) Navigation lights are used to prevent collisions at night or in times of reduced
visibility, and are an essential tool in keeping sailing safe Nav lights also provide information about the
size, activity, and direction of travel. By understanding the characteristics of Nav lights, you can
determine an appropriate course of action as you approach another vessel. On any vessel, navigation
lights have a specific color, (white, red, green, yellow, blue), arc of illumination, range of visibility, and
location, as required by law and regulations. For the purposes of this course, we will concentrate on
pleasure boats under 65 feet in length.
• (KAPAL RUSAK) A vessel not under command shall exhibit:
➢ two all-round red lights in a vertical line where they can best be seen.
➢ two balls or similar shapes in a vertical line where they can best be seen and in addition to
the lights prescribed in this paragraph, sidelights and a sternlight.
• ( KAPAL YANG TERKENDALA OLEH DRAFT KAPAL ) A vessel constrained by her draft may exhibit
where they can best be seen three all-round red lights in a vertical line, or a cylinder.
• Blocking
Examples of blocking: front wall, wedges, dunnage bags, chocks, and beams.
• Lashings
Examples of lashings are web lashings, load binders with chain and fixed winches. The equipment can
be used in different applications e.g., top-over lashings (friction lashing), direct lashings and loop
lashings.

MUATAN
• (PENGERTIAN) The ship's cargo is; "all kinds of goods and merchandise that are handed over to
the carrier to be transported by ship, to be handed over to people/goods at the port or port of
destination."
• Loading principles
➢ Protecting the ship
➢ Protecting the cargo
➢ Protecting the crew and workers
➢ Utilizing the loading space optimally/full and down
➢ Systematic (fast and regular) loading.
TRIM
• (PENJELASAN) ship trim refers to the balance of a vessel in the longitudinal axis, specifically the
balance between the bow and stern. It is the angle at which a ship's keel deviates from the horizontal
plane when viewed from the side, representing the difference in draft between the forward and aft
ends of a ship.
• (MENGHITUNG TRIM) In simple terms, the mathematical difference between the forward and aft
drafts, measured at the extreme ends of the vessel, is the Trim. Suppose the vessel has a draft TF
measured at the forward end and a draft value TA measured at the aft end. The net trim of the vessel
is the difference: +/- (TF – TA )
