Bantan district is one of the districts on the coast of Bengkalis Regency, which has great potential to contribute to vaname shrimp production through intensive technology pond-based farming activities. This study aims to assess the sustainability status of vaname shrimp farming in the Bantan District. The data processing and data analysis were performed using Multi-Dimensional Scaling (MDS); the ordination process is performed using the ordination technique called Rapid Appraisal for Shrimp Farm (Rap-SF), which is a modification of Rap-FISH Rapid Appraisal for fisheries (Rapfish) using five dimensions namely ecological, economic, social, institutional, and technological. The research results show the sustainability index of the ecological dimension with a value of 47.27 (less sustainable), the economic dimension with a value of 59.55 (quite sustainable), the social dimension 52.88 (quite sustainable), the institutional dimension 47.10 (less sustainable) and the technological dimension 63.35 (quite sustainable). Technological and economic dimensions have a considerable influence on the sustainability of vaname shrimp farming in the Bantan District
