<![CDATA[The increasing number of tourists visiting the islands in the Makassar City area is an exciting thing, especially for the perpetrators of inter-island crossing transportation. On the other hand, the safety aspect of this crossing must be a concern not only for tourists and the crossing transportation actors themselves, but the government and the general public must also provide input. Currently, there are about 25 boats operating on island tourism crossings, especially those operating at Panyua Pier. To increase awareness and safety of this sea crossing, a socialization activity on safety rules was carried out. The socialization was carried out directly in the room by presenting the crossing transportation actors. The participants were given material on safety rules for sea crossing transportation by the socialization team from the Department of Marine Engineering as part of the tridharma of higher education. Due to the ongoing pandemic conditions, the number of participants present in the room is limited. This socialization activity is aimed at the perpetrators of crossing transportation to tourist islands or in local terms called "palimbang" or people who cross passengers to the island using motor boats. Prior to the socialization, the committee gave a pretest to measure the level of knowledge of the 15 participants of the socialization. Posttest was also given after the socialization activity was carried out with the aim of knowing how well the participants' ability to absorb the socialization material was. From the results of the pretest to several questions, the result was an increase in knowledge of about 28.33% of the material given. At the end of this socialization activity, the participants were given life jackets as a safety tool, with the hope that the palimbangs will continue to use them while carrying out palimbang activities for their safety.]]>
