 II. TRANSLATION
Sekitar pukul 06.45 pada tanggal 1 Februari 2005, kapal meninggalkan dermaga Europort, salah
satu pelabuhan di Rotterdam dengan dibantu oleh sebuah kapal tunda dan menggunakan mesin
secara bervariasi, draft depan dan belakang adalah 7.30m dan 8.60m. Pada saat di alur sungai,
kapal larat karena arus surut yang kuat, sehingga kapal sulit dikendalikan dan kandas di lumpur
yang lunak pada lintang 51°- 59’ U dan bujur 4°- 02 E pada sekitar pukul 08.30. Sebuah
guncangan ringan terjadi pada saat itu.

Kemudian pada saat air pasang tinggi, saya memerintahkan untuk mencoba mengapungkan
kembali kapal dengan bantuan kapal tunda dan menggunakan mesin, tetapi operasi berakhir
dengan kegagalan. Kegiatan pengapungan dilaksanakan kembali pada hari berikutnya pukul
11.45 dan berhasil mengapungkan kembali kapal. Segera saya perintahkan untuk memeriksa
tangki-tangki, got, dan muatan yang ada di atas kapal dan dilaporkan bahwa semua dalam
keadaan baik. Lalu kapal melanjutkan pelayarannya dan tiba dengan selamat di Freport sebagai
pelabuhan tujuan pada tanggal 15 Februari.
Saya laporkan seperti tersebut di atas karena kekhawatiran terjadinya kerusakan yang tidak
terduga yang diakibatkan karena menyentuhnya plat lambung bagian bawah dan baling-baling
ke dasar perairan.

I. SURVEY REPORT

Pursuant to my assignment as independent surveyor upon request from Lloyd’s London to

carry out a damage survey on the MV. Bahteraclassed at Lloyd’s Register of Shipping
London 100 A1, owned by Messrs Bahtera Antara of Jakarta Indonesia.
According to the report, that above said vessel grounded on Cruiser shoal in the vicinity of
the port of Miami, the State of Florida, USA, and according to the statement of the Master the
vessel grounded on 13th January 1996 at 07.00 local time and due to damage on the
propeller, the vessel was towed by the tug Fearless based on salvage contract Lloyd’s Open
Form (LOF).

I boarded the vessel on 14th January 1996 after the vessel in the floating dock of Messrs
Tood Shipyard and carried out survey with accompanied by the ship’s Master.

Damages found are as follows :

1. On the 4 bladed bronze propeller, one blade was broken about 12 inches from its tips.
2. The propeller shaft was cracked at its tapered end including its keyway.
3. On the stern tube excessive wear was found due to extraordinary vibrations.
4. Plates of the garboard strakes and the flat keel were found distorted and have to be
cropped and
partly replaced by new plates for as long as 30 feet between frames no 49 and 60.

In my opinion the extent and causes of damage could be reasonably attributed to grounding of
the vessel.

The Lloyd’s surveyor insisted that permanent repairs are to be carried out.

The appointment of Todd Shipyard was approved by Underwriter Surveyor , the

American Salvage Association due to Todd Shipyard is the only reliable local shipyard,
therefore the tender procedure was not necessary. The repair time of 7 working days and
repair costs in the amount of USD150,000 including docking charges are found reasonable.

This survey report is made without prejudice and is only an opinion of the surveyor at time and
place of survey.

I. Gas Alam Cair (LNG)

LNG sebagian besar diproduksi dari area-area gas khusus dan ditransportasikan dengan
perkiraan tekanan atmosfer pada temperatur -161°C.
Bahaya alamiah dan temperatur yang sangat rendah dari LNG membutuhkan fasilitas spesial
yang diisolasikan dari area pelabuhan. Permukaan yang berhubungan dengan LNG harus
terbuat dari campuran logam yag mampu bertahan di temperatur yang sangat rendah, dimana
baja biasa akan menjadi hancur. Perdagangan niaga LNG yang pertama kali dimulai tahun 1964
antara Algeria dan Canvey Island di Inggris dengan menggunakan dua kapal yang dibangun
secara khusus yaitu The Methane Princess and The Methane Progress. Kemudian ini diikuti
secara cepat setelah adanya rencana besar ekspor LNG dari Brunei ke Jepang dan sejumlah
rencana lain untuk mengekspor gas alam dari areal-areal gas di Algeria, Indonesia, Abu Dhabi,
dan Malaysia. Sejak saat itu, perdagangan tumbuh dengan mantap 2 kali lipat dari 48milyar
m3 pada tahun 1984 menjadi 88milyar m3 pada tahun 1994.

II. TRANSLATION

Kecelakaan laut pada umumnya terjadi karena kesalahan manusia dimana awak kapal kurang
memiliki pengetahuan dan pelatihan seiring dengan ketidakpedulian perusahaan pelayaran
untuk memastikan bahwa merka yang bekerja di kapal memiliki pengetahuan dan keterampilan
yang cukup untuk melaksanakan tugas utama mereka secara efisien.
Bagaimanapun juga, ini merupakan tanggung jawab pribadi masing-masing untuk
menempatkan pengetahuan dan pelatihan dan untuk menjaga diri dari ketidakpedulian.

Fasilitas yang berkaitan dengan kejadian kecelakaan di kapal adalah bervariasi dan terbatas.
Oleh karena itu, sangat mendesak bahwa setiap awak kapal mendapat pelatihan yang cukup
dan berdisiplin tinggi dalam keselamatan dan praktek keselamatan kerja, untuk memastikan
bahwa persyaratan ini diawasi dengan ketat setiap saat.
