Abstract:
This project has been conducted to determine the stability of local fishing vessel ( coastal
fishing vessel under B class) in Terengganu. One local fishing vessel under B class
designed to operate purse seine net was chosen as a subject. All data on the vessel were
collected while it was being refurbish (modified ie. To increase its length and breadth) at
repair yard at Kampung Batin, Seberang Takir, Terengganu Darul Iman. First, the lines
plan of the vessel were be generated and the displacement of the vessel calculated using
the I st of 2
°d
Simpsons Rules. The calculated displacement of the vessel was 29.25
metric tons. The GM value of the vessel was determined using Inclining and Rolling
Tests. For the Inclining Test, the GM value of the vessel was computed to be 1.30 m and
for the Rolling Test the GM value was 1.32 m. There are no significant different
between the GM value for Inclining Test and the GM value for the Rolling Test. From
these tests, we can conclude that the vessel was stable and safe for operation (based on
recommended criteria from IMO which is GM at least 0.35 m).
