While the initiative was fully driven and financed by the project, since 2019 the fisheries offices of DKP and DKP Branch Offices have taken the leadership in the 2019 USAID SEA Project supported vessel registration. For Maluku Province, the DKP Branch Offices have been pointed as the authorized agency in issuing BPKP for small fishermen since October 2018. The DKP Branch Offices has a task to coordinate with other relevant stakeholders including the transportation department at the provincial and level, fisheries extension officers, regional government officers. With this newly arrangement enacted by Maluku DKP office, USAID SEA Project did not lead the activity of vessel registration. The 2019 vessel registration activity has assisted 116 fishers in Saparua Island to obtain Pas Kecil and BPKP certificates. DKP GP VII staff will distribute these certificates to each village leader after social distancing due to the Covid-19 impact is resolved. For vessel registration purposes, two ultimate outputs are Pas Kecil or Pas Besar and BPKP. Certificate of Pas Kecil for SSFV <7 GT is obligated issuing by Unit of Port Service of KSOP, as a vertical agency of the Transportation Department. The process to obtain Pas Kecil and Pas Besar is based on the Ministerial decree of Transportation RI Number: PM 39 of 2017 about Registration and Nationality of vessels. Meanwhile, the BPKP certificate is issued under the jurisdiction of the Ministerial decree of Marine Affairs and Fisheries RI Number: 11/Permen-KP/2016 concerning Minimum Service Standards for Fishing Vessels License. These two types of certificates are obliged for all small-scale fishing vessels. The following is a resume of steps to conduct a small fishing vessel registration. 1. Preparation 2.
