Akhmad Khirzin Khashin, NIT. 50135047.K, 2017 “Efforts To Increase Ship Unloader Performance To Reduce Demurrage At Jetty PT. Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line Tanjung Jati B Jepara”, Program Diploma IV, Port and Shipping Department, Merchant Marine Polytechnic of Semarang, Supervisor I: Irma Shinta Dewi, S.S., M.Pd and Supervisor II: Capt. Rudi Susanto, M.Pd Ship Unloader is one of the stevedoring tools on land used for stevedoring bulk cargo. Ship Unloader is also one tool that supports stevedoring activities. In order for demolition activities to run smoothly, it requires a maximum performance Ship Unloader. In the activity of discharge of bulk cargo at dock of Tanjung Jati B Jepara often happened delay which cause demurrage. One cause of the demurrage is the performance of Ship Unloader is less than the maximum. The purpose of this research is to know the cause of Ship Unloader work not maximal and improve performance of Ship Unloader to reduce demurrage. In this research method used is a qualitative research method that regulates a research method by using several aspects such as data collection through literature study, interview and documentation. From the results of the research can know the factors that cause Ship Unloader work is not optimal among other weather factors, operator Ship Unloader less skilled, the condition of payload, and lack of care on Ship Unloader. Based on research results should PT. Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line makes an effort with weather checks, giving skill to the new Ship Unloader operator, Loading Master checks the loading condition to avoid plugging. Ship Unloader must be held regularly and periodically. Thus PT. Arpeni Pratama Ocean Line can improve Ship Unloader performance to reduce demurrage. Keywords : Performance, Ship Unloader, Demurrag
