Abstract

This study aims to analyze the procedures for handling restricted visibility and to evaluate their effectiveness in improving navigation safety on board KMP Parama Kalyani. Restricted visibility is one of the major contributing factors to maritime accidents such as collisions and groundings, thus requiring proper implementation of international maritime regulations. The research method used is descriptive qualitative, with data collection techniques including direct observation during sea practice, interviews with ship officers, and documentation. Data analysis was conducted using a gap analysis approach to compare actual practices on board with the standards set by COLREGs and SOLAS. The results indicate that the procedures for handling restricted visibility on board KMP Parama Kalyani are generally in accordance with COLREG Rule 19 and SOLAS Chapter V, including the determination of safe speed, utilization of radar and AIS, use of fog signals, and increased watchkeeping. However, weaknesses were identified in the human factor aspect, particularly delays in reporting weather conditions by the officer on watch, which may pose risks to navigation safety. In conclusion, although the procedures have been properly implemented, improvements in discipline, communication, and situational awareness among crew members are necessary to enhance the effectiveness of handling restricted visibility in order to improve navigation safety.
