Designing a Maintenance System Plan to Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency on The MT Success Altair XLII Ship

Abstract

The MT Success Altair XLII, an oil tanker with a tonnage of 45,000 DWT, requires regular routine maintenance to maintain its performance and crew safety. An integrated and structured maintenance planning system can increase maintenance effectiveness and efficiency and reduce the risk of accidents. However, implementing the Plan Maintenance System (PMS) on board the ship was not optimal, resulting in a fatal accident in 2019. Therefore, the research "Designing a Plan Maintenance System to Increase Effectiveness and Efficiency on the MT Success Altair XLII Ship" is proposed to improve ship maintenance performance. The conclusions of this research emphasize the need for routine maintenance of ship safety equipment, structured maintenance planning, and crew discipline in implementing PMS. The suggestion is that disciplined human resources should implement PMS and familiarize the company with the help of shipping consultants. Hopefully, this research can help ship management companies improve ship maintenance performance and operational safety in the future.
