Desain Sistem Cargo Pump Pada Modifikasi Kapal Coal Barge Menjadi Oil Barge Sesuai BKI Volume III Rules For Machinery Installations

Abstract

The modification of a coal barge into an oil barge requires adjustments to the cargo distribution system to meet the characteristics of liquid fluid cargo and classification regulations. One of the main components that must be redesigned is the cargo pump system, which plays a vital role in transferring fluid from cargo tanks to storage facilities at ports or to other vessels. This study aims to design a cargo pump system
in accordance with the provisions of the Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI) Volume III on Machinery Installations. The design stages include collecting ship dimension data, calculating pump capacity, selecting
pipe diameters and fittings, and validating the system using Pipe Flow Expert software. The analysis results show that the required capacity for the main cargo pump is 324.99 m³/h with a total head of 21.91 meters,
while the stripping pump requires a capacity of 50 m³/h with a head of 19.28 meters. This system design is expected to serve as a technical reference in the ship modification process in compliance with safety standards and classification society regulations.
