Abstract

Boiler combustion failures on the MV Sinar Sanur pose significant challenges to the vessel's operational efficiency, impacting both environmental sustainability and economic performance. This research investigates the underlying causes of combustion failures, evaluates their impact on ship performance, and proposes innovative technical solutions to mitigate future occurrences. A qualitative descriptive approach, coupled with the SHELL (Software, Hardware, Environment, Liveware) analysis model, was employed to identify key factors contributing to these failures. Primary data were collected through direct observation, crew interviews, and documentation, while secondary data were sourced from technical reports and relevant literature. The result show from a combination of factors, including dirty burners, low fuel pressure due to clogged filters, the use of low-quality and high-viscosity fuel oil, and suboptimal fuel piping system design. These failures lead to decreased machinery efficiency, impaired steam supply, increased crew workload, and potential damage to boiler components. The research proposes several innovative solutions: the implementation of continuous boiler system parameter monitoring, the use of higher-quality fuel, and modifications to the fuel piping system, including replacing 25A pipes with 20A pipes to optimize combustion efficiency. This study underscores the critical importance of regular maintenance, quality fuel usage, and efficient system design in ensuring sustainable operations. The proposed solutions not only enhance the vessel's operational efficiency but also contribute to reducing environmental impact by improving fuel utilization and minimizing waste.
