Abstract

Small-scale fisheries constitute the dominant fishing sector in Indonesia and play a crucial role in sustaining coastal livelihoods. However, fleet configuration and fishing gear selection are often based on experience and economic considerations rather than technical assessment, resulting in operational inefficiency and declining productivity. This study aims to analyze the suitability of fishing vessel characteristics with installed engine power and fishing gear used by fishers in Selambai Fishers Village, Bontang, East Kalimantan. Primary data were collected through field measurements of principal vessel dimensions (L, B, D), interviews with fishers, and hydrodynamic resistance simulation using Maxsurf Resistance. Vessel dimension ratios were evaluated against reference standards, and engine power requirements were determined based on effective horsepower (EHP) and shaft horsepower (SHP) calculations derived from Holtrop resistance predictions. The results show that the fishing vessel exhibits principal dimension ratios of L/B = 5.07, L/D = 10, and B/D = 1.97, indicating suitability for passive fishing gears requiring high transverse stability such as handline, squid jigging, gillnet, and collapsible traps. Hydrodynamic analysis identifies an optimal operational speed at 6–7 knots with a corresponding power requirement of approximately 60–65 HP, suggesting that inappropriate engine selection may lead to increased fuel consumption and reduced performance efficiency.

Abstract

This study presents the development and performance evaluation of an autonomous waypoint navigation system for a catamaran-type Unmanned Surface Vehicle (USV). The proposed system enables autonomous waypoint-following missions through real-time position monitoring, heading control, telemetry communication, and mission execution. The navigation system was implemented on a catamaran-type USV platform equipped with a companion computer, autopilot controller, GPS module, inertial sensors, and dual-thruster propulsion system. To evaluate navigation performance, experiments were conducted in both simulation and real-world environments. The performance assessment was based on waypoint error and heading error during autonomous waypoint-following missions. Experimental results demonstrated that the proposed system successfully executed autonomous navigation missions in both testing environments. The simulation experiments achieved a mean waypoint error of 0.49 m and a mean heading error of 4.21°, while the real-world experiments produced a mean waypoint error of 1.15 m and a mean heading error of 10.8°. Although larger navigation errors were observed during real-world operation due to environmental disturbances and positioning uncertainty, the USV successfully completed all assigned waypoint missions. These results demonstrate that the proposed navigation system provides reliable autonomous waypoint-following performance and supports maritime monitoring and inspection applications.

Abstract

Heavy lifting operations during the decommissioning of a Floating Production Storage and Offloading (FPSO) unit require comprehensive engineering planning to ensure lifting safety, load stability, and operational efficiency. Conventional lifting planning relies on separate manual calculations, which can lead to inefficiencies and inconsistencies in engineering evaluations. This study aims to develop a web-based heavy lifting planning and rigging evaluation system for Electrical House (E-House) module lifting operations in FPSO Ningaloo Vision decommissioning activities. A quantitative engineering approach based on static load analysis and lifting engineering principles was applied. The developed system integrates crane capacity evaluation, sling load analysis, rigging configuration assessment, and Ground Bearing Pressure (GBP) evaluation into a single web-based platform. The analysis was conducted using a design lifting load of 334.367 tons under several lifting configurations. The results indicate that sling angles and rigging configurations significantly affect load distribution and lifting safety. The proposed system enables automated engineering evaluations and supports a more systematic lifting planning process compared to conventional manual methods. The novelty of this research lies in integrating lifting calculations, rigging evaluation, and safety assessments into a web-based engineering support system for offshore heavy lifting operations.

Abstract

In Indonesia, there were more than 174 ship accidents from 2021–2025, with the main causes including human error, lack of operational supervision, and low crew compliance with applicable safety protocols. This study aims to: 1) describe the condition of crew compliance of the UV. Royal King Ali to applicable safety protocols; 2) To identify and analyze the factors causing low crew compliance with safety protocols; and 3) To analyze the crew supervision and management strategies implemented by the captain in an effort to improve compliance with safety protocols. The research method used is descriptive qualitative. Data collection uses observation, interviews and documentation. The results of the study indicate that the compliance of the UV. Royal King Ali crew was initially still low with a PPE compliance level of 63.3%. The main causes are lack of communication, crew fatigue, low understanding of safety procedures, absence of an incentive system, suboptimal equipment conditions, lack of supervision, and operational pressure. Efforts to increase compliance with safety protocols were implemented and were successful, as shown by an increase in compliance with PPE use of 27.4% and an overall safety percentage of 30.9%.

Abstract

Ghost fishing occurs because most fishing gear made from synthetic materials is difficult to degrade in the ocean, threatening the sustainability of marine ecosystems. This study aims to determine the physical and mechanical properties of polyvinyl alcohol (PVA)-coated cotton ropes. The PVA coating process aims to enhance the breaking strength, elongation, and degradation resistance of cotton ropes. PVA-coated ropes exhibited an average breaking strength of 42,68 kgf, a 94,26% increase compared to uncoated ropes. The elongation of PVA-coated ropes reached 20,11%, higher than the control ropes, which had an elongation of only 13%. Immersion tests in seawater demonstrated that the technical lifespan of PVA-coated ropes extended to 54 weeks after immersion, whereas uncoated cotton ropes lasted only 17 weeks.

Abstract

This research aims to design a system for monitoring the performance of ship's Wind Power Plants (PLTB) and IoT-based single-phase electric motor damage detection. The motor monitoring uses real-time current, piezoelectric vibration, and temperature sensors  to detect overload, abnormal vibrations, and temperature rises. The ESP32 microcontroller processes sensor data for display via LCD and IoT. PLTB wind turbines are designed to be adaptive to withstand extreme sea weather to optimize energy. The test evaluates the reliability of the system's response in detecting potential early motor damage through fixed and dynamic measurements. The results show that this system is able to improve the operational efficiency of ships, reduce the risk of sudden damage, optimize renewable energy, and improve overall ship safety through effective periodic monitoring

Abstract

The rapid proliferation of solid-state battery electric vehicles (EVs) in Indonesia has introduced an unprecedented fire safety challenge for domestic ferry operations, particularly on high-risk routes such as Padang–Mentawai where extreme maritime environmental conditions compound battery degradation risks. This study examines the influence of EV cargo stowage practices and human resource capacity for fire mitigation on maritime safety perception aboard ASDP ferries. Employing a mixed-method design integrating quantitative Likert-scale surveys (N = 60; α = 0.892), semi-structured qualitative interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD), data were collected from maritime students, lecturers, and seafarers affiliated with Politeknik Pelayaran Sumatera Barat between February and June 2026. Multiple regression analysis revealed a significant combined effect of cargo stowage (X2) and fire mitigation capacity (X3) on maritime safety perception (Y), with r = 0.712 (p < 0.01). Risk matrix analysis identified 65% of 18 risk indicators at high or extreme levels, concentrated in maritime environmental conditions and emergency response readiness. FGD findings revealed three structural gaps between SE-DJPL No. 12/2024 and operational practice: insufficient deck infrastructure, seafarer competency deficits in thermal runaway management, and coordination failures among operators, regulators, and port charging providers. The study contributes a risk-based adaptive SOP model for EV cargo stowage and recommends curriculum integration at maritime polytechnic institutions.

Abstract

Indonesia's accelerating electric vehicle (EV) adoption has created a regulatory and institutional challenge of considerable urgency for domestic ferry operations, where solid-state battery fire risks intersect with persistent competency gaps among seafarers and structural limitations in multi-agency governance frameworks. This study investigates the relationships among regulatory compliance (X4), human resource capacity for fire mitigation (X3), and maritime safety perception (Y) in the context of EV cargo transport on the ASDP Padang–Mentawai ferry route. Using a concurrent mixed-method design — integrating Likert-scale surveys (N = 60; α = 0.892), semi-structured interviews, and Focus Group Discussions (FGD) — data were collected from maritime students, lecturers, and active seafarers affiliated with Politeknik Pelayaran Sumatera Barat between February and June 2026. Regression analysis identified human resource capacity (β = 0.43, p < 0.01) as a stronger predictor of safety perception than regulatory compliance (β = 0.31, p < 0.01). FGD thematic analysis surfaced three structural governance gaps: seafarer competency deficits in thermal runaway management, fragmented inter-agency coordination between operators and regulators, and curriculum misalignment in maritime polytechnic institutions. The study contributes a Safety–Competency–Governance (SCG) framework for EV maritime safety management and provides empirically grounded curriculum and policy recommendations for Indonesia's maritime education and regulatory institutions.

Abstract

Breasting dolphins are critical marine structures that transfer vessel impact loads to the jetty system during berthing operations. In several existing terminals, increasing operational demands may necessitate the accommodation of vessels larger than the original design vessel, provided that water depth and terminal functionality permit such operation. However, operational feasibility cannot be evaluated solely based on navigational clearance, as berthing velocity, fender reaction, pile stiffness, and soil–pile interaction may significantly influence structural demand. This study investigates the structural performance of an existing breasting dolphin at an oil and gas shore-base jetty under varying berthing load conditions. Four vessel capacities, namely 7,000, 8,000, 9,000, and 10,000 DWT, and five berthing velocity conditions were assessed using a three-dimensional structural model. Additional permanent loads, fender and bollard loads, and soil support modeled using spring element were included. Structural acceptability was assessed based on the occurrence of plastic member behavior and axial force–biaxial bending interaction criteria. The results indicate that only two scenarios remained fully elastic: 7,000 DWT at 0.108 m/s and 8,000 DWT at 0.103 m/s. All other applicable scenarios exhibited plastic member behavior, with critical interaction utilization under difficult sheltered berthing ranging from 3.392 to 3.706. These findings highlight that operational approval for larger vessels should be controlled by berthing velocity and verified structural capacity, rather than by water depth alone.

Abstract

Unmanned Surface Vehicles (USVs) are increasingly deployed due to technological advancements, yet their physical security remains significantly under-explored. While anti-theft frameworks are widely adopted for land vehicles, these systems rely on passive anti-theft mechanisms—alerting the owner about the theft—and failed to prevent the physical removal of the asset from the threat. To address this critical gap, this study proposes an active anti-theft system for USVs with a dual-layer detection mechanism utilizing spatial geofencing and physical attitude anomaly detection. The system employs an on-board edge computing that autonomously triggers a closed-loop Return-to-Launch (RTL) maneuver upon detecting a geofence breach, while simultaneously transmitting real-time telemetry update to a Web-Based Ground Control Station (Web-GCS). Testing across controlled and real-world environments demonstrated that the system reliably executes autonomous return protocols with low-latency communication. By transitioning asset protection from passive anti-theft to active anti-theft, this multi-layered framework establishes a novel foundational framework for physical security in autonomous vessels.
