Abstract
Small fishing boats with less than 5 Gross Tonnage (GT) are commonly used for day fishing in Sendang Biru, Malang Regency, Indonesia. This study aims to design the placement of a chiller on a fishing boat. The research was conducted through observations of the fisher’s workplace, fishing operations, and fishing duration, as well as by measuring the size of the boat. The results show that the addition of a solar-powered chiller increases the usable area around the fish storage box, while the solar panels are installed on the roof of the boat and also serve as a canopy. This configuration slightly reduces the open space available on the boat. The analysis of boat stability confirms that the placement of the solar-powered chiller complies with international standards, while the analysis of the boat resistance indicates only a minor increase, which does not significantly affect the boat’s speed.
