The Journey from Idea to First Place

Zahid participated in the AIC Essay Competition 2025, following the process from registration to essay submission. His work was then evaluated by the judges and achieved the highest score based on its quality. On this occasion, Zahid chose to focus the topic of re-engineering natural resource management in Indonesia based on existing problems and transforming it into a structured working framework called the Eco-Justice Enforcement Model.

During the preparation period, Zahid was having limited time due to his busy schedule. He started initiated his ideas three days before the deadline, with almost no time left to develop his arguments and refine the structure of his writing.

Sagarmatha Team Achieves Favorite Winner at OCEANO 2024

Sagarmatha team won the Favorite Winner award in the International Oil Rig Design Competition OCEANO 2024 Event. OCEANO 2024 itself is an event that aims to increase public awareness of the potential of global maritime resources through various series of competitions. The Faculty of Marine Technology, Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (FTK ITS) organized the prestigious event. The competition with the theme “Pioneering innovative offshore oil platforms by enhancing structural and HSE aspects to maximize energy potential” was held for 3 days on 23-25 November 2024. 

The Sagarmatha team, consisting of Valendra Eril Erginansya, Khafiyya Aulia Istiadza, Dinda Meilia Rhepon, Manik Purbo Ulung, and Inggil Tahta Haritza, carried the concept of environmentally friendly oil rig design. They successfully created a mock-up of an oil rig to minimize oil pollution to the sea. In the competition, the mock-up must pass several stages, such as rig tests, floating tests, and motion tests with simulated artificial waves. At the rig test stage, the Sagarmatha Team’s mockup weighing 2 kg managed to support a load of up to 250 kg. However, they did not succeed in the floating test due to the unbalanced mockup design.

Preparation for this competition was challenging. From making accurate mock-ups and calculations to preparing presentations that illustrate the advantages of their designs. However, all of these challenges can be overcome well thanks to the guidance of FTI Industrial Engineering’s lecturers and mentors, namely Dian Janari, S.T., M.T., Diles Parel Lubis, S.T., M.T., and Putri Dwi Annisa, S.T., M.Sc. All three have a big role in achieving team success.

Ata, one of the Sagarmatha team members advised, “If the message from me is that maybe the friends are not interested in the competition. But when you participate for the first time, even though the results lose or win, you will definitely be addicted. So the key is to try first, to win or lose think later.” he said.

Congratulations to the Sagarmatha team for this achievement! Hopefully it will be an inspiration for the next generations.

Tim Sagarmatha Raih Favorite Winner di OCEANO 2024

Tim Sagarmatha berhasil meraih penghargaan Favorite Winner dalam ajang International Oil Rig Design Competition OCEANO 2024. OCEANO 2024 sendiri merupakan event yang bertujuan meningkatkan kesadaran publik terhadap potensi sumber daya maritim global melalui berbagai rangkaian kompetisi. Fakultas Teknologi Kelautan Institut Teknologi Sepuluh Nopember (FTK ITS) yang menyelenggarakan ajang bergengsi tersebut. Perlombaan dengan tema “Pioneering innovative offshore oil platform by enhancing structural and HSE aspects to maximizing energy potential” tersebut terlaksana selama 3 hari pada 23-25 November 2024. 

Tim Sagarmatha, terdiri dari mahasiswa  Valendra Eril Erginansya, Khafiyya Aulia Istiadza, Dinda Meilia Rhepon, Manik Purbo Ulung, dan Inggil Tahta Haritza ini mengusung konsep desain oil rig ramah lingkungan. Mereka berhasil menciptakan maket oil rig untuk meminimalkan pencemaran minyak ke laut. Dalam perlombaan, maket tersebut harus melewati beberapa tahapan, seperti tes rig, tes floating, dan tes motion dengan simulasi ombak buatan. Pada tahap tes rig, maket Tim Sagarmatha dengan berat 2 kg berhasil menopang beban hingga 250 kg. Walaupun demikian, mereka belum berhasil pada tes floating karena desain maket yang belum seimbang.

Persiapan untuk lomba ini mereka lewati dengan penuh tantangan. Mulai dari membuat maket yang akurat dan sesuai perhitungan hingga mempersiapkan presentasi yang menggambarkan keunggulan dari desain mereka. Namun, seluruh tantangan tersebut dapat teratasi dengan baik berkat bimbingan dari dosen dan mentor Industri FTI, yakni Dian Janari, S.T., M.T., Diles Parel Lubis, S.T., M.T., dan Putri Dwi Annisa, S.T., M.Sc. Ketiganya memiliki peran yang besar dalam meraih kesuksesan tim.

Ata, salah satu anggota tim Sagarmatha berpesan, “Kalau pesan dari aku adalah mungkin dari teman-teman itu gak tertarik dengan lomba. Cuman saat teman-teman ikut pertama kali, walaupun hasilnya kalah atau menang, pasti kalian akan ketagihan. Jadi kuncinya adalah coba dulu, masalah menang atau kalahnya pikirin belakangan, gitu.” ungkapnya.

Selamat kepada tim Sagarmatha atas prestasi ini! Semoga menjadi inspirasi bagi generasi-generasi berikutnya.
