Lake Toba due to overload and lack of adequate safety equipment, resulting in 3 deaths and 164 people declared missing.
Occupational safety is an aspect that must be fulfilled to ensure protection for crew members during With safety equipment as a safety support, the risk of work accidents on ships can be minimized or even eliminated completely so that all crew members can carry out their duties optimally and avoid danger .
However, for now the rate of traffic accidents and river and lake transportation in Indonesia is currently still quite high.
This condition is caused by the lack of feasibility of the transportation used and the lack of awareness among users who often ignore existing safety standards .
In Central Java province there are 7 River and Lake Ports, one of which is the Rawa Pening Lake Port which is located in Ambarawa District.
Semarang Regency with an area of 2,670 hectares and has 3 piers, one of which is the Bukit Cinta Pier which is used as a research location.
The existence of Rawa Pening is used by some local residents to carry out economic activities.
The economic activities carried out by the residents include: fishery businesses .
, water hyacinth finders, peat miners, farmers, traders, boat services, and vehicle parking services .

%) Problem-Solving Efforts Based on the results of observations made by the author while at the Port of Lake Rawa Pening.
Bukit Cinta Pier was found to be still not in accordance with applicable regulations.
The following are efforts to meet the needs of ship safety equipment at the Bukit Cinta Pier of Rawa Pening Lake:
Scenario 1 Ship operators can make purchases collectively to get a lower price.
By combining requests from multiple carriers, they can get cheaper prices due to large purchases.
Scenario 2 Ship operators can use the rental system to port managers regarding safety equipment that has not been met.
By using a charter system, ship operators can meet shipping safety requirements without having to purchase equipment directly.
Scenario 3 Ship operators can work with the government or relevant agencies to obtain financial assistance or subsidies.
By taking advantage of government and related agency assistance programs, ship operators can reduce their financial burden.
Scenario 4 Ship operators can borrow funds from savings and loan cooperatives or the like to complete safety tools that have not been met.
After that, the income he gets from passengers who use transportation services is set aside to pay the funds that have been borrowed from the cooperative.
By setting aside funds periodically, ship operators can gradually repay the borrowed funds and equip safety equipment in accordance with applicable standards.
CLOSING
Conclusion The availability and suitability of safety equipment on motorboats operating at the Bukit Cinta Pier in Rawa Pening Lake is for Life Jackets, the availability rate is 52%.
For Life Buoys, only 2 ships are equipped with life buoys with an availability rate of 6%.
Furthermore, for whistles, only 11 ships are equipped with whistles with an availability rate of 35%.
Then for fire buckets and rocket parachutes are not available on all ships with an availability rate of 0%.
The factor causing ship operators to not equip safety equipment on ships with the highest percentage is that as many as 13 ship operators consider the mileage traveled to be quite close to the percentage of 42%, then the next factor as many as 8 ship operators consider the cost of safety equipment to be quite expensive, which is 26%, then the next factor as many as 6 ship operators consider that not equipping life safety equipment has become a daily habit with a percentage of 19% and the lowest Newspaper homepage: https://ejournal.

factor, namely as many as 4 ship operators, think that the risk of accidents at the Port of Danau Rawa Pening is relatively low with a percentage value of 13%.
Efforts that can be made to meet the needs of safety equipment are that there are several scenarios, including that ship operators can purchase safety equipment collectively so that they get cheaper prices, in addition, ship operators can use a rental system to port managers to complete safety equipment that has not been met, then ship operators can collaborate with the government and related institutions to get financial assistance or subsidies, as well as ship operators can borrow funds from savings and loan cooperatives to meet safety equipment on ships.
Then the income they get is set aside periodically so that gradually the ship operator can pay off the funds that have been borrowed and equip safety equipment in accordance with applicable standards.
Recommendation To improve shipping safety, it is recommended to relevant agencies to organize socialization and counseling activities for ship operators.
This is important to raise awareness among them about the importance of safety equipment on ships as well as the installation of banners or other information media that can help increase awareness of the importance of safety equipment.
Related parties are expected to consistently carry out inspections and supervision of the condition of safety equipment on board to ensure that all safety equipment remains in good condition and ready for use.
This step is important to ensure shipping safety and prevent potential risks for passengers and crew alike.
Ship operators should add life safety equipment to their ships in accordance with the provisions of Regulation Director General Land Transportation Number KP.
