Comparison of the Main Dimension of Multifunctional Fishing Vessels in South Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi

Abstract

Multifunctional fishing vessels are fishing vessels that in operation use more than one fishing gear and must be designed in accordance with the function, main dimensions, fishing gear used and standard criteria of Indonesian fishing vessels. This study aims to compare the main size of multifunctional fishing vessels in South Buton Regency, Southeast Sulawesi which will affect the seaworthiness of the ship. Data were analyzed descriptively comparative by comparing the length and width (L/B), the comparison between length and draft (L/D) and the comparison between width and draft (B/D). From the calculation results, it is found that the L/B value is between 7.52 m - 9.19 m and B/D is between 2.67 m - 3.45 m, these values have met the standard criteria for the ratio of the main dimensions of multifunctional fishing vessels in Indonesia. While the L/D value is between 20.00 m - 27.09 m where the value exceeds the standard. Multifunctional fishing vessels in South Buton Regency are feasible to operate and must still anticipate external pressures and the use of fishing gear is in accordance with the concept of blue economy.
