Main Switch Board Plan Maintenance System on MV. Kirana III

Abstract

The Plan Maintenance System (PMS) is a continuous and scheduled maintenance system for equipment and supplies on a ship. Its purpose is to ensure that the ship is always in a seaworthy condition and ready to operate. In order to achieve smooth operation of the ship, it is essential to have a good, efficient, and effective work and maintenance system for the ship's electricity and systems. One way to do this is by formulating and implementing maintenance system plans by shipping companies in Indonesia. During research carried out on the KM Ship, KIRANA, it was found that there was a lack of maintenance on the Main Switch Board, leading to problems with the indicator lights and needles. Infrequent maintenance was also ignored, leading to undesirable events due to inadequate implementation of the planned maintenance system. To avoid damage or short circuits, it is important to schedule and regularly check the components of the switch board weekly and monthly. This will help maintain the components and minimize malfunctions on the switch board, with the help of scheduling in the Plan Maintenance System.
