In particular the fleet sections of the report was to match the numbers of vessels in the Artisanal and Industrial fishery fleets of Indonesia to available stocks. For the shipbuilding sections the report gives an overall view of the shipbuilding and technical capacity of Indonesian shipyards,_ specifically with regard to fishing vessel design and construction capabilities. An attempt has also been made to address the Human Resources Development (HRD) aspects of both the shipbuilding industry and personnel of the vessels sub-directorate of DGF. Indonesia is comprised of an Archipelago with over 17,000 islands giving an estimated aggregate coastline of 81 ,000 km and an area of approximately 7.7 million sq.km in total. Of this total about 75% or 5.8 million sq.km consists of water comprised of the Indonesian exclusive economic zone (IEEZ), territorial waters (12 nm limit) and archipelagic waters between and around the islands. The present Indonesian (1993) fishing fleet consists of three principal sectors, i) Industrial, comprising trawlers, purse seine and longline/gillnet boats ii) small scale semi-industrial vessels and iii) artisanal level fishing vessels, usually those of less than 30 GT. This report was constrained by the very limited time available for research of data and site visits. However, during the consultancy site visits were made to fishing ports, shipyards and training establishment locations in Merauke Irian Jaya and in Jakarta, Surabaya, Semarang and Pekalongan on Java. i TERMS OF REFERENC a. On the basis of the results of studies concerning the current state of exploitation and future potential of fishery resources, determine the fishing fleet structure (i.e. types of fishing, class of tonnage, the number of vessels including technical design, cost and return) which would be most appropriate for sustainable exploitation of fishery resources. b. Estimate the present capacity of national shipyards for building vessels for offshore fishing and assess the need and rationale for the import of new and/or second hand vessels. c. Review the suitability of converting existing fishing vessels for offshore fishing. d. Assess the suitability of establishing joint venture arrangements in which foreign shipyards team up with domestic shipyards to build fishing vessels and the likely effect of technology transfer in such an arrangement. e. Investigate the possibility of establishing the short term alternative of leasing used foreign vessels during a shipbuilding development period. f. Recommend a human resource development program to enhance the capability of the shipbuilding industry. ll TABLE OF CONTENTS SECTION I. 1.0 EXISTING FLEET STRUCTURE 2.0 THE INDUSTRIAL FLEET 2.1 Fishing methods and gear used 2.2 Tonnage classes 2.3 Fleet composition 2.4 Numbers of vessels 2.5 Predominant Designs 2.6 Possible New Designs 2.7 Profitability of New Vessels 2.8 Constraints 3.0 THE ARTISANAL FLEET 3.1 Fishing methods and gear used 3.2 Tonnage classes 3.3 Fleet composition 3.4 Predominant Designs 3.5 Possible Upgrade Designs (Conversions) 3.6 Profitability of New Vessels 4.0 INDONESIAN SHIPYARD CAPACITY 4.1 Observations 4.2 Existing Shipyards 4.3 Steel construction capacity 4.4 Fibreglass construction capacity 4.5 Wood construction capacity 4.6 Conversion of Vessels for Offshore Use 4.7 Constraints I Observations 5.0 CAPTURE CAPACITY OF FLEET V RESOURCES 5.1 Observations 5.2 Fleet Capacity Required for Resource, (new build) 5.3 Replacement of Foreign Fleet (EEZ) 5.4 Fleet Acquisition Options iii 6.0 SHIPBUILDING JOINT VENTURES 6.1 Observations 6.2 Technology Transfer Benefits 7.0 JOINT VENTURE WITH FOREIGN VESSELS 7.1 Joint Ventures, contract and charter 7.2 Possible Benefits 7.3 Constraints 8.0 HUMAN RESOURCES DEVELOPMENT 8.1 Observations 8.2 Strengthening DGF Vessel Sub-Directorate 8.3 Shipbuilding Training 8.4 Fishery Training 8.5 Future Developments 8.6 Constraints 9.0 RECOMMENDATIONS Section II 1.0 MERAUKE DISTRICT IRIAN JAYA 1 .1 Existing Situation 1 .2 Industrial Fleet 1 .3 Artisanal Fishermen and Fleet 1 .4 Possible Vessel Requirements 1 .5 Fish Production 1 .6 Department of Transmigration I DGF Proposal iv 1 Section i 1.0 EXISTING FLEET STRUCTURE The Directorate General of Fisheries have quite well defined classifications for fishery fleet division, these include divisions for non-powered and powered boats, the latter being further divided into outboard and inboard engine power. In the smaller sizes vessels are also classified by construction method ie; dugout canoes and planked boats. Larger vessels, normally greater than 5 GT use Gross Tonnage (GT) measurements. The following Table 1.0.1 illustrates the classifications used by DGF. Type/Class Power No. of Units Dugout Canoes no 123,760 Plank Boats -Small no 73,452 -Medium no 41,822 -Large no 8,711 0/B Power Boats outboard 82,217 <5GT inboard 43,396 5-10 GT inboard 9,791 10-20 GT inboard 2,812 20-30 GT inboard 1,558 30-50 GT inboard 1,170 50-100 GT inboard 351 100-200 GT inboard 213 > 200 GT inboard 245 Table 1.0.1 Further to the above DGF also classify the planked boats by Length Overall (LOA) as follows:- -Small Largest boat is less than 7mLOA -Medium Boats are between 7-10 m LOA -Large Large boats are over 10m LOA 2 There are some further sub-divisions of GT used by the Resource Management Section of DGF. These are usually for the larger vessels in the fleet and are shown in (Table 1.0.2). Resource Management Directorate. Large boat GRT divisions 60GT 100 GT 100 GT 150 GT 150 GT 200GT 200GT 300GT 300GT 400GT 400 GT 600GT 600 GT 800GT Table 1.0.2 As can be deduced from the above Table most of the GT classes of vessel listed above are likely to be employed in the EEZ fisheries or are engaged in trawling operations in eastern Indonesian waters east of Longitude 130°. One suggestion regarding the above is that the Directorate General of Fisheries (DGF) collect data for and include a Table for vessels of larger sizes with their areas of operation defined, gear used, species landed and target markets etc. This class of vess'el will become more important in future as the EEZ fishery reaches MSY and larger vessels for distant water fisheries are developed. Present indications are that archipelagic fisheries are reaching their MSY except in a few specific areas such as the Arufura Sea. 3 2.0 THE INDUSTRIAL FLEET For purposes of this report the industrial fleet is considered as those vessels measuring at 30 GT and over. A secondary reason for this arbitrary cutoff is the division of licensing authority between federal responsibility (DGF) and the provinces. Boats measuring 30 GT and over are licensed by DGF while vessels measuring less than 30 GT are licensed by the provinces. Unfortunately the division is not as clear cut as first appears, the reason being that two (2) different systems are being used to measure GT. The ramificatio'ns of this particular problem are addressed in section 2.2 of this report. 2.1 Fishing Methods and Gear Used The industrial fleet consists primarily of vessels engaged in trawling for shrimp and demersal fish, purse seiners for small pelagics, purse seiners for tuna and longline boats fishing large pelagics in the EEZ. Some gillnetting is also carried out by long liners. Various other types of gear, such as fish traps, FAD's and light attraction devices are also reported as being used in some areas, these primarily by the purse seine boats fishing small pelagics. Other catching methods of significance are pole and line for tuna and squid jigging. 2.2 Tonnage Classes In common with the smaller fishing vessels the DGF have clearly defined size ranges for the industrial fleet based on Gross Registered Tons (GRT) or as commonly used in much DGF data the abbreviation GT. Responsibility for measurement and issuing of certificates is vested in the Department of Transportation Harbour Masters offices, either at the port where the vessel is built or the.

Current Situations and Challenges of the International and 10 Local Fisheries Industries IV. Goals and Directions of the Sustainable Development of the 22 Local Fisheries Industry V. Proposed Options and Measures 23 VI. Conclusions 44 Annex 46 2 TRANSLATION CSF WP 1/10 I. Summary The Government established the Committee on Sustainable Fisheries (the Committee) in late December 2006 to study the long term directions and goals as well as feasible options and strategy for the sustainable development of the local fisheries industry. The results of the study will be submitted to the Food and Health Bureau for consideration. 2. Following careful consideration of the situations of the international and local fisheries industries, as well as the contributions of the local fisheries industry to Hong Kong’s economy and society, the Committee agrees that the local fisheries industry has changed in tandem with Hong Kong’s economic development. However, the local fisheries industry, as an important local cultural asset with a long history, is sufficiently valuable and has potential for sustainable development. 3. The goals of the sustainable development of the fisheries industry are to enable fishermen and fish farmers to achieve self-reliance, help them maintain their own livelihoods and cope with the changing business operating environment, provide job opportunities to the fisheries community and ensure the supply of fresh and quality fisheries products to Hong Kong people. Meanwhile, our society will benefit from a sustainable fisheries industry, as it will help establish and maintain a marine ecological environment that is abundant in resources and can be passed on to our future generations.

  • Fishing Fleet Profiling Methodology
    ISSN 0429-9345 FAO Fishing fleet profiling FISHERIES TECHNICAL methodology PAPER 423 FAO Fishing fleet profiling FISHERIES TECHNICAL methodology PAPER 423 by Jocelyne Ferraris Institut de recherche pour le développement Nouméa, New Caledonia FOOD AND AGRICULTURE ORGANIZATION OF THE UNITED NATIONS Rome, 2002 iii PREPARATION OF THIS DOCUMENT This technical paper on fishing fleet profiling methodology is aimed at fisheries managers and decision-makers in developing countries who may have a scientific background but who are not necessarily specialists in statistics. It provides methods for profiling fishing fleets according to the available data and different management needs. Its aim is to provide a practical guide which makes these methods easily accessible, and which demonstrates the principles underlying the different standard techniques for profiling fishing fleets without claiming to eliminate the need for expert statistical analysis of complex multivariate data sets. The methods presented are of specific interest to technical staff in Fisheries Departments and those responsible for the collection and analysis of data on fishery resources and fleets. This work is based on experiences profiling different fishing fleets, notably the Moroccan coastal fishery and the artisanal fishery of Senegal, as well as numerous studies carried out by Ifremer on French fisheries. Many of the examples provided in this document are drawn from previous work on profiling fleets, and include extracts from the following documents: ! Ferra ris, J. 1997.

  • Fishing Vessels Fishing Vessel Types
    Fishery Basics – Fishing Vessels Fishing Vessel Types Fishing vessels are typically designed with a specific purpose. That purpose is to locate, catch, and preserve fish while out at sea. The planned operations of a vessel determine the overall size of the vessel, the arrangement of the deck, carrying capacity, as well as the machinery and types of equipment that will be supported by the vessel. Due to the inherent differences in fishing communities around the world, there is a wide range of types and styles of fishing vessels. Vessel sizes can range from the 2 m (6 ft) dug out canoes used in subsistence and artisanal fisheries, to factory ships that exceed 130 m (427 ft) in length. Commercial fishing vessels can also be characterized by a variety of criteria: types of fish (See Biology & Ecology) they catch, fishing gear and methods used (See Fishing Gear), capacity and processing capabilities, and the geographical origin of the vessel. In 2002, the United Nations Food and Agriculture Organization (FAO) estimated the world fishing fleet had approximately four million vessels, with an average vessel size ranging from 10-15 m (33-49 ft). Based on a quarterly catch statistics report, published by the Pacific Fisheries Information Network (PacFIN), approximately 1,950 vessels landed their catches in California ports. Due to the technological innovations that began in the 1950s, many fishing vessels are now classified as multi-purpose vessels, because of the ability to switch out gear types depending on the targeted species. However, single use vessels still exist in the world fishing fleet today.

  • European Trawlers Are Destroying the Oceans
    EUROPEAN TRAWLERS ARE DESTROYING THE OCEANS Introduction Nearly 100,000 vessels make up the European Union fishing fleet. This includes boats that fish both in EU waters (the domestic fleet), in the waters of other countries and in international waters (the deep-sea fleet). In addition, there is an unknown number of vessels belonging to other European countries that are not members of the EU which could approach a figure half that of the EU fleet. The majority of these vessels sail under the flag of a European country but there are also boats, particularly those fishing on the high seas, which despite being managed, chartered or part owned by European companies, use the flag of the country where they catch their fish or sail under flags of convenience (FOCs). The Fisheries Commission has called for a reform of the Common Fisheries Policy (CFP) to achieve a reduction of 40% in the EU fishing capacity, as forecasts show that by simply following the approved multi-annual plans, barely 8.5% of vessels and 18% of gross tonnage would be decommissioned1; an achievement very distant from scientific recommendations. Moreover, from among these almost 100,000 vessels, the EU is home to a particularly damaging fleet: the 15,000 trawlers that operate in European waters, as well as those of third countries or those fishing on the high seas. These trawlers are overexploiting marine resources and irreversibly damaging some of the most productive and biodiverse ecosystems on the planet. The 40% reduction called for by the Commission could be easily achieved if the primary objective of this proposal was focused both on eliminating the most destructive fishing techniques and reducing fishing overcapacity.

  • The Transition from Sail to Motor
    The Transition from Sail to Motor The transition from the age of the sail to the motor came in gradually over the first 30 or 40 years of the 20th century. First came the emergence of the steam drifter which made its first successful appearance in Scotland at the end of the 19th century, about 20 years after the launch of the first Zulu fishing boat. Nearly all the steam drifters were built between 1900 and 1914, by which time there were about 900 in Scotland. The continual decline and eventual disappearance of the sail as a means of propulsion for fishing boats was accelerated by the conversion of the sail fishing boats to motor. The first marine engines were installed in fishing boats in Scotland about 1906/07, but it was in the late 1920s before the wholesale conversion of the fishing fleet took place in Lewis. There were virtually no purpose built motor fishing boats in Lewis before the Second World War, the whole fishing fleet consisted of ageing steam drifters and converted sailboats. In 1901 a big Zulu sailboat 80 feet overall cost approximately £700 while a steam drifter cost upwards of £2,500. On top of the initial cost, steam drifters were expensive to run burning up to 20 tons of coal a week, whereas sailboats incurred no expense while at sea. Steam drifters were viable enough during the prosperous period before the First World War, but the loss of the herring market and the inflated cost of coal etc. as a result of the War sealed the fate of the steam drifter.

These vessels sailed into remote waters and processed the whale oil on board, discarding the carcass. Later whalers converted the entire whale into usable products. The efficiency of these ships and the predation they carried out on whales contributed greatly to the animals' precipitous decline. Contemporary factory ships are automated and enlarged versions of these earlier whalers. Their use for fishing has grown dramatically. For a while, Russia,Japan and Korea operated huge fishing fleets centred on factory ships, though in recent times this use has been declining. On the other hand, the use of factory ships by the United States has increased.
