Muara Berau Anchorage is one of the waters in East Kalimantan that many ships visit for coal loading and unloading activities. The coal export transhipment was carried out in the Berau Estuary, Samarinda because the draft of large ships did not allow it to enter the far and shallow river channel. In the execution of loading there is often a shortage of load caused by several factors. The purpose of the study is to determine the causes and impacts of load deadfreight and efforts to reduce the occurrence of load deadfreight in the coal loading process. The methods used are descriptive qualitative. Data were collected through observation, interviews and literature studies that were tested for validity and reliability tests. The results of this study show that the cause of the load deadfreight in the MV.
