Abstract

Indonesia, with a maritime territory spanning approximately 5.8 million square kilometers, relies heavily on boats for fishing and transportation. However, traditional boat engine maintenance practices, particularly oil changes, often result in oil spills that contribute significantly to marine pollution and threaten ecosystem. This study aimed to address this issue by developing an innovative electric pump system for safer and more efficient oil replacement. Using a Research and Development (R&D) approach, the researchers applied Fishbone diagram analysis to identify five key contributing factors such as machine limitations, human error, inadequate methods, material conditions, and environmental constraints. The newly developed pump was field-tested and compared with three other oil change methods. Results showed that the new tool reduced the oil change duration to just 2.5 minutes per engine, substantially faster than conventional methods, which averaged up to 15 minutes. Moreover, the tool eliminated oil spillage, whereas traditional draining methods resulted in an average of 50ml of waste oil discharged per engine. Implementation and training sessions conducted with local fishing communities demonstrated high acceptance and ease of use. In conclusion, the integration of technological innovation with practical education offers an effective and low-cost solution to improve maritime maintenance while significantly reducing environmental impact.
