Kenyir Lake has become a popular tourist spot in Terengganu, Malaysia due to the
recreational activities and the newly developed duty-free zone at Pulau Bayas.
Currently, the lake does not have any proper marked boating channel with applicable
navigational aids to guide the boats along the lake. The only reference available in the
lake is only road signage to show the direction for boating, which is misleading based
on international regulations. The boating channel could be dangerous and unsafe to
manoeuvre especially during late hours due to absence of guiding lights along the
lake, hence increases the risk of collision of boats. Thus, the best solution to resolve
this issue is by proposing suitable aids to navigation at Kenyir Lake based on the
international standard. The three-dimensional area simulation of boating channel will
be developed using Presagis Multigen Software based on satellite image data.
Furthermore, the data will be analysed using AHP-Fuzzy comprehensive evaluation
method to identify the most suitable aids to navigation and their placement. This
research is expected to design the configuration aid to navigation specifically from
Gawi Jetty to Pulau Bayas duty free zone.
