Rancang Bagun Kapal Pemeliharaan Pohon Mangrove Di Sungai Desa Pambang Baru

Pambang Baru Village, located in Bantan District, Bengkalis Regency, has a vast coastal area and a significant mangrove forest ecosystem. However, the lack of adequate water transportation facilities poses a major obstacle to the implementation of mangrove maintenance programs. Therefore, this study aims to design and construct a specialized vessel for monitoring mangrove trees along the village’s river area. The methods used include field surveys, determination of the vessel’s principal dimensions, and ship design using Maxsurf and AutoCAD software. The result is a wooden vessel with a length of 6.2 meters, a beam of 1.38 meters, a height of 0.45 meters, and a draft of 0.20 meters, designed to meet operational needs. The design process produced Lines Plan and General Arrangement drawings as references for vessel construction. This vessel is expected to provide an effective and sustainable solution to support mangrove maintenance activities.
