Abstract
Navy Ships A is a Republic of Indonesia Ship type LPD (Landing Platform Dock) which has the main task and additional
duties as a Naval Hospital Auxiliary Ship. In their daily life, Navy Ships A carries out maritime security operations to
maintain the sovereignty of the Republic of Indonesia, as well as carry out humanitarian social activities. This makes
the workload of Navy Ships A personnel in the high category. And it causes a decrease in productivity and morale of
personnel which will result in work accidents and not achieving the main tasks assigned to Navy Ships A. This study
aims to calculate the workload of Navy Ships A personnel using the NASA TLX (Task Load Index) method under
conditions the current number of personnel. This research is expected to be able to calculate the workload of Navy Ships
A personnel with the condition that the proper Personnel Composition List (DSP) has not been fulfilled. As well as being
able to provide workload calculations according to the number of existing DSPs, so that they can provide
recommendations for the right solution to the problem of high workload experienced by Navy Ships A personnel.
