The process of transporting containers of dangerous cargo requires different
handling from ordinary containers because containers of hazardous loads will pose
dangerous risks if wrong in handling them. The purpose of this research are: 1. What
obstacles occur in handling dangerous cargo. 2) How to resolve obstacles that
occur in handling dangerous cargo. method used by researchers in this study is
qualitative methods. This study was written descriptively which contained description
from interviewees and documentation. Data collection techniques used are primary and
secondary data collection. The process of collecting data through an approach to the
object which had been studied using observation, interviews, and literature studies.
The results of this study about handling hazardous cargo are: 1) placement of
dangerous cargo containers in stacking fields which are still combined with regular
cargo containers. 2) confirmation in the stacking field between the yard plan system and
actual conditions in different stacking fields which cause delays in loading and
unloading activities and the implementation of container arrangement has not been
neatly arranged. Procedure to deal with problems that occur in handling dangerous
loads, are: 1) separating dangerous cargo containers with regular cargo containers. 2)
Improving the yard plan system for the accuracy of actual data on the stacking field.
Based on the results of the study obtained conclusions and suggestions that the
Semarang Container Terminal will do 2 (two) planning options in dealing with problems
in handling hazardous loads, are 1) Long-term options, the long-term option of the
Semarang Container Terminal is to build a special stacking dangerous loads . 2) The
short-term option from the Semarang Container Terminal is to classify the dangerous
cargo containers themselves which will be given a special zone to distinguish between
hazardous cargo containers and regular cargo containers. Suggestions addressed to the
Semarang Container Terminal should immediately build a special stacking field for
dangerous cargo containers and also be more active in supervising the yard planner's
performance to minimize errors in yard plan making.
