Descripción
This is the final report of a marine engineer who worked in Hodeidah (YAR) from July 1980 to December 1981. The report describes the work undertaken, which was mainly concerned with completion of an improved type of sambuk, built with a transom stern to permit operation as a stern trawler. After the vessel was completed, the engineer undertook successful demonstration fishing trials to provide training for a local crew. In addition to his work on the sambuk, which included carrying out extensive repairs after the vessel had sunk at her moorings, the engineer was responsible, during the later stages of his stay in YAR, for all project administrative matters in Hodeidah. He also carried out regular repair and maintenance of project vehicles. On his departure from the country, all project equipment was officially handed over to the Government agency responsible for fisheries. During his stay in YAR the engineer was required to visit Quseir (Egypt) where he established a marine workshop. P roblems encountered were inadequate support from the Government counterpart agency and security regulations which prevented freedom of movement. On the credit side, the vessel proved to be as successful fishing unit and the local crew easily adapted to the mechanized fishing methods.
