Personnel Load Calculation
PRELIMINARY
I. Introduction
Most of the ships that are built today are based on traditional design concepts. Improvements
are observed in simple components such as the engine and the propeller; but this does not apply
to the ship as a complete system. Many shipbuilders concentrate and make efforts to improve
capacity but, unfortunately, they still consume a lot of fuel unnecessarily. The shipbuilding
industry makes very little effort to reduce operational costs for new vessels or for repaired
vessels, as the builder is not responsible for the fuel bill; in general, little time and resources are
devoted to monitoring and controlling the use of energy on board ships. Poor energy knowledge
and the absence of a systematic control are the two main barriers to improving energy efficiency
in ships. An important tool to overcome this barrier is the conversion of energy flow into
monetary flow (money).
Air conditioning in ships is very important for the transported goods as well as for the crew.
One of the indoor loads in the ship is personnel load which has a definition of the heat load
released by the worker's body which depends on the number and activity of the worker (sensible
and latent heat generated by the occupants of the room).

II. Methods
Calculation of the load of personnel on the ship refers to the calculation guidelines and
steps as follows:
The calculation refers to the ship's general arrangement of KM Safitri Putro Oil
Tanker by Warogo Safitri Putro Project. After looking at the general arrangement on
the ship, we can determine the number of each crew member in each room of the ship,
referring to Fig. 1.
The next step is to determine the number of sensible heat and latent heat loss factors
according to Fig. 2
Which,
The next step is to make calculations easier, Microsoft Excel is used so that data
processing can be faster, more effective, precise and efficient.

VI. Conclusions
1. Based on the results of calculations from measurements in the general arrangement of
KM Safitri Putro Oil Tanker Ship and data input in Microsoft Excel, In terms of the
sensible latent heat loss generated based on the number of personnel and the sensible
latent heat loss factor
2. The calculation has been done and the highest personnel load is on the main deck with
4410 Btu/h and the lowest personnel load is on bridge deck with 710 Btu/h.
3. The more personnel needed in one room, the greater the personnel load generated.
4. All calculation results are attached to Microsoft Excel.
VII. Suggestions
1. A complete and precise general arrangement of ships is needed because in the general
arrangement carried out by engineers for the calculation of personnel load there are still
some conditions of ship space that are not in the applicable standards. So that in the
future the supervisor design division must evaluate more and more thoroughly.
2. The number of personnel can change at any time, given that activities on board are not too
routine and there may be an increase in the number of personnel or even a reduction. for
that in the future the predetermined calculation reference can be added in accordance with
the safety reference.
