Abstract

The large increase in the number of traditional fishing vessels in West Aceh and the limited facilities for repairing these vessels indicate the great potential for developing shipyards around the port. However, the shipyards that produce fishing vessels in West Aceh still use traditional technology, resulting in relatively low productivity. Therefore, the aim of this research is to determine the initial conditions of shipyards in West Aceh and their production capacity. The research method deploys a qualitative approach along with data collection techniques through surveys. The social aspects studied include the development of Human Resources (HR), materials, production equipment, funding, and shipbuilding methods. The results of this research show that the condition of the shipyards in West Aceh is adequate due to their strategic location with large areas of land and proximity to the sea or river, making the process of unloading completed ships easier. There are two types of shipyards in West Aceh: land shipyards and water shipyards. In the area, there are six (out of nine) active land shipyards and three (out of five) active water shipyards. © by the authors.
