Design of laminated bamboo fishing boat with local cultural heritage using electric motor to support fishing tourism in Pasuruan, East Java

Abstract

Fishing has been one of the main sources of livelihood in Indonesia, to the point that it gives birth to numerous fishing culture preserved by the locals in the country. However, the development of Indonesia’s fishing tourism is quite slow, despite its identity as an archipelagic state. In attempt to boost the fishing tourism sector, this study proposes a design of a fishing boat with a touch of Pasuruan cultural heritage, a region in East Java. The design is hoped to attract the tourists’ attention by presenting them a local heritage fishing experience. Laminated bamboo is utilised as the boat’s material so it can be recycled as furniture when no longer in use. The boat’s main dimensions are obtained by means of intuitive design method. Technical calculations including the boat’s resistance and propulsion, required power and stability are carried out subsequently. The main dimensions for this boat are: LoA = 8.2 m; B = 1.1 m; H = 0.6 m; and T = 0.42 m. The service speed is set to be 7.5 knots. While the required power to move this boat is around 7.481 kW to power an electrical motor with 25 HP.
