Abstract

The purpose of this study was to develop a decision support guideline for Masters operating AHV. The guidebook was developed with reference to the vessel ‘Lewek Swan’, whose loading condition was inputted into the shipboard software “CyberMaster” to measure the stability of the vessel. The methodology of the proposal was to develop departure and arrival loading conditions of the vessel as well as develop a safe stability parameters based on various loading conditions. As a recommendation, the safety parameter graph and guideline will complement the use of shipboard software to enhance the stability of vessels. The key result was the GZ and heeling lever arm obtained from the forces that resulted from AHO (Anchor Handling Operation), which served as a risk indicator. In conclusion, with this GZ and heeling lever Graph, Masters will have a clearer view and safer guideline to prevent any unsafe operation during AHO.
