Abstract

Musi river is the largest river in Palembang with a length of more than 750 kilometers and an average width of 540 meters where the maximum width of 1,350 meters is located around the Kemaro island. Basically, sedimentation in the Musi river is commonly existed due to the high level meeting of velocity between the Musi river and the ocean in the Bangka Strait. The silting condition of Musi river is getting more severe because of the sludge that reaches about 40 cm per month. In fact, the volume of sludge could reach 2.5 million m3. There are 13 silted points along the river shipping channel from the Boom Baru port to Bangka Strait. Four points are already very vulnerable because the siltings reach up to 4 meters. The location which quite compress from the northern Payung Island to the estuary, while the location of the worst silting among others is on the outside verge of the Jaran strait and the water groove of the southern part of the Payung island sedimentation reaches 7 km, furthermore the boat that crosses the groove of Musi river should be against the tide that occurs. This research was conducted by using the approach of software models MIKE 21 Flow Model and the results obtained from this study is the greatest speed direction occurred, elevation of the outer surface and total depth of water will contribute and effect to the free area for ships to perform well and safe movement. The other side will effect of the amount of sedimentation and the aquatic environment of the swamp area
