https://doi.org/10.62391/ejmi.v7i2.147Maritime safety is a crucial aspect of ship operations, with the readiness of safety equipment and crew competence serving as key determining factors. This study aims to analyze the role of the crew and the lifeboat maintenance system in the implementation of drills on board KMP Portlink III. The research employed a descriptive qualitative method through direct observation, interviews, and document analysis. The findings indicate that crew involvement in drills has not been optimal, as shown by delayed responses to emergency alarms and a limited understanding of individual task responsibilities. Furthermore, lifeboat maintenance did not fully comply with SOLAS standards, as evidenced by damage to the davit mechanism, worn-out wires, and weakened batteries. These conditions led to the failure of lifeboat launching during drills. The study recommends routine simulation-based training, a more systematic task distribution, and disciplined inspection of safety equipment. Such efforts are expected to enhance crew preparedness and improve the reliability of lifeboats in emergency situations.
