Barge Planning for Covid-19 Patient Isolation

Abstract

The ship is a means of water transportation that is widely used, one of its functions is to transport passengers. Barge is a type of ship with a flat hull or a large floating box, barges generally do not have a propulsion system but nowadays many barges have a propulsion system which is usually called a Self Propelled Barge. While barges are usually used to transport dry bulk goods or liquid bulk or recently also used to transport containers in connection with short sea shipping. So that in this study the aim is to design a general plan for room arrangement for the isolation room for COVID-19 patients. the need to design a room arrangement for the isolation room for covid-19 patients and the need to know the number of patients that can be brought. Equipped with several safety components, medical equipment, hospital facilities or a preventive measure that must exist in an emergency condition. The safety components on board must be managed as well as possible and must go through inspection procedures before being installed on the ship. This serves to ensure that everything is in good and optimal condition. This research will provide methods of data collection, design of plain lines and general plans, determination of load space capacity. The results obtained are barges with a capacity Alternative 1 patients amounted to 32 people and alternative 2 amounted to 48 people. From this capacity, the stability of the ship has met the requirements.
