One of the steps that can be taken is to use a tidal stream table, wind direction indicator, and wind speed indicator. This research aims to understand how to mitigate risks during the maneuvering process of docking at the port. The study was conducted on the MV. Sinar Bintan, owned by Samudera Shipping Management, during the author's sea practice period from July 23, 2024, to July 24, 2025. The method used is qualitative descriptive, with data collection carried out through direct surveys at the research location, observing and recording the effects of wind and currents on the ship's maneuvering. The results of the study indicate that wind, especially from the side, has a significant impact on the stability of the ship, requiring adjustments to the steering angle and optimal use of the bow thruster. Additionally, strong sea currents can cause a slowdown in the ship's speed and positional shifts, necessitating the crew to be prepared for continuous corrections. Identified mitigation strategies, such as real-time weather monitoring and the use of tugboats, have proven effective in enhancing safety and operational efficiency during the docking process. Good coordination between the pilot boat and tugboat also contributes to the successful maneuvering of the ship in challenging weather conditions.
