Desain Kapal Glass Bottom Sebagai Sarana Ekowisata Terumbu Karang Pulau Gili Ketapang Probolinggo

Abstract

This research aims to design a glass bottom boat that can be used as a means of coral reef ecotourism on Gili Ketapang Island, Probolinggo. The main problems discussed include determining the main dimensions of the ship, designing the line plan and general plan, and developing a 3D model design of the ship. The methods used include collecting data on shipping routes and water conditions. followed by technical calculations using software such as Maxsurf Modeller and SketchUp. Determination of the main dimensions of the ship is based on operational data, resulting in a length between two perpendicular lines (LPP) of 10.06 meters with a width of 2.44 meters. The line plan design consists of Sheer Plan, Body Plan, and Half-Breadth Plan views, while the general plan is made to organize the ship's space according to its function. The 3D model is then developed based on the line plan design to provide a complete visualization of the shape and layout of the ship. The results of the study show that the design of this glass bottom ship meets the technical and safety criteria, and is expected to improve the coral reef tourism experience without having to snorkel.
