Abstract

In December 2022, at almost the same time, the same type of accident occurred at Merak Port, Cilegon City, namely an accident when loading a vehicle just as it was about to enter the ship. To prevent such accidents from happening again, this research aims to determine the factors that influence vehicle loading accidents onto ferry boats at Merak Harbor and to find out strategies to minimize the occurrence of vehicle loading accidents onto ferry boats at Merak Harbor. The method used in this research is method Analytical Hierarchy Process (AHP) with the apps uper decisions version 2.10 to determine the level of importance of factors that dominate the occurrence of vehicle loading accidents on boarding vessels at Merak Harbor. Based on the calculation resultsAnalytical Hierarchy Process(AHP) using the applicationsuper decisionversion 2.10, it is known that the facility factor or vehicle factor to be loaded onto a ferry is the dominant factor causing accidents when loading vehicles onto a ferry at Merak Harbor with a score of 0.345 followed by overloading (0.684) as the dominant factor in the vehicle sub- criteria. This is followed by human factors (0.322), natural factors (0.274), and infrastructure factors (0.057). In line with this, excess dimensions (0.25) are the second factor causing accidents in the vehicle sub-criteria. Thus, the strategy offered to minimize the occurrence of accidents when loading vehicles onto ferry boats at Merak Harbor is to sterilize vehicles.Over Dimension and Over Loading(ODOL) at Merak Harbor, Cilegon City.
