The
propeller shaft is one of the most important components in ship construction so
this component is given complete and clear standards for technical design,
maintenance and repair. in Indonesia, the standard used as a reference is the
standard from PT. The Indonesian Classification Bureau (BKI) is the party
authorized to issue ship classification certificates in Indonesia. Every five
years for passenger ships and cargo ships, ship propeller shafts must be
maintained and repaired. This research examines the maintenance and repair
process of propeller shafts on passenger and cargo ships, KMP Kirana I. The repair
method for the propeller shaft is by coating composites on areas that are
eroded due to corrosion and wear. From the results of the inspection when the
propeller shaft was removed, it was discovered that the clearance between the
shaft and the ship's bushing was greater than the BKI standard. After repairs
were carried out with the addition of composite material, the clearance
returned to meeting BKI standards.
