On Wednesday (07/06), the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Indonesia (FTUI) held an exhibition of 2023 ship design assignments which presented innovative works from students of the 2020 Naval Architecture and Marine Engineering study program. The event was organized by the FTUI Naval Architecture Study Program in collaboration with the Hydromodeling Technology Workshop Universitas Indonesia (HTW UI) and held in the Lobby of the FTUI K Building.
Dean of FTUI, Prof. Dr. Heri Hermansyah, S.T., M.Eng., IPU explained the purpose of holding this student exhibition, “This ship design assignment exhibition not only provides an opportunity for students to show off their creativity but also becomes a forum for sharing ideas and innovative thoughts in the field of shipping. With this exhibition, it is hoped that students can further develop their abilities and create solutions that contribute to the shipping industry.”
The ten ship designs displayed in this exhibition have different characteristics and uses, ranging from cement carriers to oil tankers, including:
- Amandra is a cement carrier (Cement Carrier) with a transport capacity of 136,000 DWT (Deadweight Tonnage) to transport and deliver large quantities of cement from one location to another.
- Sayyidati is an oil tanker (Oil Tanker) with a transport capacity of 6,600 DWT to transport and deliver large volumes of oil from one port to another.
- Sinar Jaya Abadi, a container vessel (Container Vessel) has a transport capacity of 9,600 TEUs (Twenty-Foot Equivalent Units) to transport large quantities of containers with high efficiency which enables the delivery of goods worldwide.
- RMS Marzanic, a passenger ferry (Passenger Ferry) with a gross displacement of 3,200 GT (Gross Tonnage) to transport passengers and vehicles across waters, is generally used for inter-island passenger transportation.
- RR Voyager, a Parse Seine vessel with a gross weight of 3,200 GT specifically used in the fishing industry to catch fish using Parse Seine nets.
- Sadi Hafian, a coal carrier (Coal Carrier) with a transport capacity of 25,600 DWT to transport and deliver coal cargo from the mine to the port of destination.
- LNG Perkasa, an LNG (Liquefied Natural Gas) tanker with a transport capacity of 10,200 CEM (Cubic Meters) transports large amounts of LNG with high safety and effectiveness.
- WILMSHURST, a general cargo ship (General Cargo) with a transport capacity of 5,600 DWT to transport various kinds of general cargo such as consumer goods, machinery, vehicles and other commodities that do not require special facilities.
- MARTIN is a fishing vessel that uses a fishing system such as a Lift Net Vessel with a gross weight of 30 GT.
- Surya Abadi, a Platform Supply Vessel with an engine power of 6,600 BHP (Brake Horsepower) to supply and support the operation of oil or gas drilling platforms in offshore waters.
In this exhibition, panellists consisting of experts in the field of shipping were also present to provide valuable assessments and feedback to students. The panellists included Dirajaya Patuan Rum, S.T., M.H. (Director General of Sea Transportation), Krismianto Arainu, S.T., MMK3L (HSSEQ Superintendent Soechi Group), Hasriadin, S.T. (PT. Caputra Mitra Sejati), and Dr. Eng. Mochammad Zaky, S.T., M.T. (PT Bureau of Indonesian Classification). The presence of these panellists provided a broad perspective in appreciating and evaluating student works.
Apart from the panellists, lecturers from the FTUI Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding Engineering study program also attended who played an important role in guiding students in designing innovative ships, including Dr. Eng. Muhammad Arif Budiyanto, S.T., M.T.; Achmad Riadi, S.T., M.Eng., Ph.D .; Dr. Eng. Gerry Liston Putra., S.T., M.T.; Dr. Eng. Gunawan, S.T., M.T.; Dr. -Ing. Firman Ady Nugroho, S.T., M.T.; and Dr. Eng. Kurniawan Teguh Waskito, S.T., M.T.
“After all this time studying theory, we are happy with the task of designing this ship. Because here we can apply what we have learned as well as directly understand what we are making,” said Rahmat Rauzi, a marine engineering student who is part of the RR Voyager team.
Aqilla who is also a member of the RR Voyager team also explained that for her this exhibition was an achievement because the task of designing a ship is a long and not easy process. The process begins with calculating ship dimensions in semester 4 so that in the end students can make ship mockups to be exhibited in this event in semester 6.
