Abstract

With the demands of seafarers' standards set by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). Global seafarers, including those from Indonesia, must follow the terms and conditions of the 2010 Manila Amendment Standards of Training, Certifitation and Watchkeeping (STCW). The competence of fishing vessel crews is one of the main factors supporting the success of fishing operations. Mastery of crew competence is proven by competency certificates obtained through education and training as well as certification tests for fishing vessel crews by the competent authority. Competency standards for fishing vessel crews must be in accordance with the size of the vessel (vessel length and gross tonage) and the area of the fishing operation. This study aims to examine the gaps that occur between the competency certificates of fishing vessel crews and the prevailing laws and regulations in Indonesia and the contributing factors. Research has been carried out on ships with a size of more than 30 GT at the Nusantara Pelabuhan Ratu Fishery Port and Nizam Zachman Muara Baru Fishery Port, Jakarta. Primary data is obtained from documentary evidence of the crew (BST, Seaman's Book, Ankapin, Atkapin, SKK) who were on the ship. Secondary data were obtained from the ship's crew license, SPB, size of the ship (length and GT), the area of fishing operations and the prevailing laws and regulations on fishing vessel manning in Indonesia. Data processing was carried out using descriptive analysis methods with a qualitative approach. The results showed that the majority of Indonesian fishing vessel crews do not have competency certificates according to applicable regulations. This is due to the dispensation of SPB issuance and the limited time for conducting the certification test. The authorities must firmly determine the deadline for the dispensation of SPB issuance and increase the time and place for certification testing that is easily accessible to the crew.

Abstract

There are many tourism objects in Anambas Islands Regency, namely in the form of beach tourism, nature tourism, underwater tourism, historical tourism, as well as cultural and educational tourism, but their utilization is not optimal. The main obstacle faced is the limited condition of facilities and infrastructure both to go to tourist objects and to locations of tourist objects, and the low capacity of community resources in tourism activities. If the tourism sector develops, it will certainly encourage overall regional economic growth, therefore the tourism potential of this area needs to be maximally utilized, so that it becomes one of the backbone of the economic development of the Anambas Islands region. Meanwhile, one of the supporting factors for tourism activities that need to be developed is sea transportation facilities for tourist transportation which are not yet available. This research begins with the identification of problems through secondary data followed by field observations and then evaluated. From the results of the analysis, it can be concluded that for the suitable facilities to be developed is the Catamaran type fast boat, while for land transportation infrastructure it needs to be improved, especially those that go to tourist objects. In addition, transportation nodes at seaports need to be developed, including tourism information centers and the active involvement of local.
