In designing a ship, offset data is the most important information about the ship, since
the ship’s performance is obtained from offset data. Usually, fishing boats in Malaysia
are built with no recommendation and authorization from naval architects. Thus,
hydrodynamic performance is observed in terms of stability as well as safety
performance, has become a major consideration in designing traditional fishing boat.
This study generally stressed on the determination of hydrodynamic performance and
safety of the small fishing boat. The small boat from Kuala Terengganu were selected
for measurement of their hulls. Maxsurf Ship Design software was used to determine
the stability performance according to the respective requirements or standard
criteria. The determination showed that the boat fulfills static stability requirements,
the boat should only be allowed operating in the restricted of operational area with
maximum sea state 2. A survey on safety equipment showed the boat lacked in safety
for the small fishing boat.
