IMPLEMENTATION OF MARINE POLLUTION (MARPOL) AND SAFETY OF LIFE AT SEA (SOLAS) TOWARDS WASTE MANAGEMENT APPLICATION ON THE SHIP MAHBUB ARFAH POLTEKPEL Malahayati Banda Aceh
Abstract: This research aims to; (1) knowing how the application of MARPOL (Marine Pollution) annex 1 regulation 17 on the ship, (2) knowing how the application of SOLAS (Safety of Life at Sea) Chapter II-I Part C Regulation 35-1 on the ship and (3) knowing understanding owned by the crew of the rules of MARPOL and SOLAS. The method used in this study is Action Research, which is a form of self-reflection research conducted by participants in social situations (including education) to improve their own practice. The data obtained is the result of monitoring the waste treatment system contained in ships that dock at 3 (three) major ports and have received permission from KSOP at the local port, namely Tanjung Periuk Port in Jakarta, Tanjung Perak Port in Surabaya, and Port Soekarna Hatta in Makassar. Research results show that; (1) From the percentage of conformity of the evaluation criteria and the actual conditions on the ship, it can be concluded that there is only I (one) ship that complies with the SOLAS (Safety Of Life At Sea) Chapter II-I Part C Regulation 35-I, namely the MV. Meratus Jayapura. (2) From the percentage of conformity of the evaluation criteria and the actual conditions on the ship, it can be concluded that there is only I (one) vessel that is in compliance with MARPOL (Marine Pollution) Annex 1 of Regulation 17, namely the MV. Meratus Jayapura. (3) In order to preserve the maritime environment, it is necessary to provide understanding to all crew members before they work, namely by socializing or training which essentially provides provisions to the crew about the importance of protecting the maritime environment also while on the ship an understanding of MARPOL and SOLAS must continue at convey both visually and orally so that they continue to care about the maritime environment. Keywords: Marine Pollution, Safety of Life at Sea, Regulation, Ship.
1. INTRODUCTION At first people thought that by looking at the vastness of the ocean, all waste products and industrial remnants originating from human activities on land could all be accommodated by the ocean without causing any harmful consequences. Pollutants entering the oceans will be diluted and the power of contaminating them will slowly be weakened, making them harmless. With the rapid growth of the world's population and the increasing industrial environment, more toxic substances are thrown into the sea in quantities that are difficult to control precisely. Seawater is a component that interacts with the terrestrial environment, where waste discharges from land will flow into the sea. In addition, sea water is also a place for pollutants (pollutants) that fall from the atmosphere. The waste which contains pollutants then enters the coastal and marine ecosystems. Some are soluble in water, some sink to the bottom and are concentrated into sediments, and some enter the body tissues of marine organisms (including phytoplankton, fish, shrimp, squid, shellfish, seaweed, etc.).
