Maritime Safety, Ship Engine Maintenance, Fishermen, Community Service, Traditional ShippingAbstract
This community service activity was motivated by the low level of understanding among fishermen and traditional shipping crews regarding maritime safety and ship engine maintenance in Bulo-Bulo Village, Arungkeke District, Jeneponto Regency. This condition increases the risk of marine accidents and unexpected engine failures, which negatively affect operational efficiency and safety at sea. The objective of this program was to enhance the knowledge and technical skills of the community through educational and practical training activities. The methods employed included interactive lectures, demonstrations, and hands-on practice on the use of safety equipment and basic maintenance of small diesel engines. The activity was conducted from July 2 to 4, 2025, involving 20 participants from the local fishing community. The results indicate a significant improvement in participants’ understanding of maritime safety and engine maintenance, as reflected in their active participation, high enthusiasm, and positive feedback. Furthermore, several participants began applying proper maintenance practices and utilizing safety equipment on their vessels. This program contributes to improving maritime safety awareness and strengthening the technical independence of coastal communities.
