Analysis Of The Distribution Of Duties And Safety In The Operation Of Purse Seine Fishing Equipment On Km Bintang Mas Maritime Based In PPN Pekalongan

Abstract

This study aims to evaluate the responsibilities and work intensity of fishing vessel crews in the operation of purse seine gear, as well as to identify potential occupational hazards at each operational stage. The research was conducted aboard KM. Bintang Mas Maritim operating in Fisheries Management Area (FMA) 713 from January to April 2024. A descriptive quantitative approach was applied using Hierarchical Task Analysis (HTA) to map crew tasks into primary and secondary activities, enabling the analysis of workload and potential risks. Data were collected through direct observation and semi-structured interviews with crew members meeting the inclusion criteria. The results identified eight main activities and 57 sub-activities in purse seine operations, with a total work intensity (IKT) of 559 Occupational Activities (OA), comprising 526 primary OAs and 33 secondary OAs. The hauling stage was found to be the most hazardous, with the highest work intensity of 141 OAs. These findings highlight the importance of leadership and safety management in effectively allocating crew responsibilities. This study provides a foundation for improving both crew safety and operational efficiency in purse seine fishing.
