An estimated 70 percent of the population lives among 4,800 kilometres of coastline area,
which have rich ecosystem and biodiversity. With these, it has offered tremendous
economic value and prospect to Malaysia. According to Malaysia Fisheries Agency there
is approximately 140,949 of fisherman working on licensed fishing vessel in Malaysia, and
in Terengganu there is 10, 489. At Pulau Kekabu, the congestion of fisherman’s boat is
worrying. This study aims to identify the causes of congestion of fisherman’s boat at
Pulau Kekabu, to rank the causes of congestion of fisherman’s boat at Pulau Kekabu, to
develop the solution regarding congestion of fisherman’s boat at Pulau Kekabu, and to
recommend the systematic docking system for fisherman’s boat at Pulau Kekabu. The
factors of congestion at Pulau Kekabu is because of there is no jetty there for fisherman
to dock their boat and there is no systematic docking system. These factors will be analyse
using Factor Analysis and Analytic Hierarchy Process. An interview with several expert
and questionnaire will be done to develop the solution regarding the congestion. The
results from the interview will be analyse by using Mean Analysis and recorded through
Microsoft Excel. Then this study is also to recommend and propose systematic docking
system for fisherman’s boat at Pulau Kekabu. It is hope that the result and
recommendation of this study will help reducing congestion of fisherman’s boat and thus
increasing the rate of productivity of fisherman at Pulau Kekabu.
