| dc.description | The requirements for the construction and the repair of fishing vessels are not necessarily the same. A repair yard of adequate size may be able to undertake construction, but the reverse is not necessarily true, owing to the need to take boats from the water for repair. Facilities around the Indian Ocean both for construction and repair are many labour, to simple-landing places, where craft are built or repaired on the beach in traditional fashion. In several of the sub-regions described here, construction yards are lacking for modern fishing vessels. In all sub-regions, repair facilities are inadequate for large wooden vessels. In sub-regions where steel vessels now operate, repair service is available in commercial-vessel yards, but it costs more than similar repairs in a fishing-vessel yard. The lack of spare parts for mechanized vessels is a serious problem. The Indian Ocean Programme should consider a solution, perhaps the establishment of central supply depots. A more detailed s tudy of the facilities existing or planned for the Indian Ocean region is needed; it would require at least 18-24 man-months. IOP should promote the inclusion in all major port-development projects of at least class C construction-and-repair facilities for fishing vessels. | |
