As we all know, Traffic Separation Scheme (TSS) is adopted by International Maritime
Organization (IMO) in a way to keep the safety of navigation during using it at the
most congested area such as the Strait of Malacca (SOM) and Strait of Singapore.
This research is focusing on the accidents had occurred because of the navigational
hazards during using TSS at the SOM. This research is targeting to access the level
of safety of navigation and list all the navigation hazards along the TSS at the SOM.
Besides that, it also can recommend the best way to improve the safety of navigation
during using TSS at the SOM. In this research, the methodology is divided onto two
part which are data collection and data analysis. In the data collection, the methods
that had been used are interview, review on articles and case studies. In the data
analysis, the methods that been used are Pair Wise Comparison, Hazard Identification
(HAZID) and Fault Tree Analysis (FTA). In the end of this research, the level of safety
of navigation can be increase and improve. Next is all navigational hazards along TSS
at the SOM also can be list out. In conclusion, this research the safety of navigation
during using TSS at the SOM can be improved and all navigational hazards can be
identified. So, the number of accidents occurred during using TSS at the SOM can be
decreased.
