Abstract

The supply of wood sourced from natural forests is diminishing, the scarcity of wood raw materials has implications for the decline of timber vessel business in quality and quantity. The limited supply of quality timber as raw material for ship components should be pursued by other alternatives in order that the traditional timber ship business can continue to operate sustainably. The objective of the study was to assess the potential of fast growing timber as an alternative feedstock for traditional wooden ship components. The method used is a survey identifying the potential utilization of rapidly growing local timber species for wooden ship components as well as the suitability of applied technology while maintaining the traditions and values of local wisdom. The results obtained that fastgrowing wood species is very potential to be utilized as an alternative material to overcome the scarcity of wood materials today. Appropriate technology is applied in the form of composite wood technology using coating technique using waterproof resin material (liquid resin Epoxy). Coating techniques will be able to protect wood components, improve wood resistance, and improve physical and mechanical properties of materials. the application of fast growing species and composite technology for wooden ship components can be applied based on the criteria of the Indonesian Bureau of Classification (BKI)
