PREPARATIONS BEFORE THE SHIP ARRIVES

Before entering the port pool area, the ship will do a Drop Anchor first. Then, the ship's

arrival report will be sent to the parties involved in the shipment process, to coordinate

bringing the ship into the port pool. Where the note requires certainty of the position of the

ship due to the large number of mooring activities at various points of the port. There are

many activities in the port pool, starting from ships coming in and out, towing barges by tugs,

and several husbandary processes that are carried out when the ship is docked. The large

number of these activities is of course also followed by the large number of ships at the port

which can cause congestion / queues to dock, due to the lack of capacity to dock at the dock /

terminal. After receiving information that the ship will dock at the specified time and hour,

the crew of the ship will prepare the machine and lift the anchor. After arriving at the point

where the ship is anchored, the guide will board the ship to take over navigation and direct the
shipping channel that the ship must pass. This was done because the conditions and

information on the shipping lanes at the port were the responsibility of the guides. After

passing through the shipping channel, the pilot's task is replaced by a tug, which will help the

process of attaching the ship to the dock to facilitate the mooring process.

The use of the number of tugs ranging from one to two units usually depends on the needs and

conditions in the backing. Usually, a ship that is large enough or the wind conditions that are

strong enough at the berth area require the availability of two tug units. When the ship is

about to dock, all crew on duty are ready in their position, depending on whether the ship is

leaning on the starboard side (right side) or port side (left side). Generally, the stand-by

mooring team in the rope position will be moored at each end of the bolder. Clear

coordination is required in the berthing process carried out by the ship crew and the mooring

team. In order for the mooring activity to run quickly, the process begins with tethering the

first rope called the "first line", then followed by the next rope at the back of the ship.
