Synopsis (short abstract) After the expert was transferred to the Suez Sub-Station of RAB/81/002 from Hodeidah, Yemen Arab Republic in January 1982, his work was mainly concerned with national activities in Egypt but duty travel was undertaken to the PDRY on three occasions. The project was at the time operating a 9 mt vessel (Quseir) with which the master fisherman was conducting experimental multi-mono gill net fishing operations in the Quseir Community Fishery Centre (CFC). Immediate steps were taken to provide a subs tantial supply of fast and slow moving spare parts for the outboard engine motors used in the daily fishing operations in the southern Egyptian Project areas and specialised equipment was ordered to complement the facilities in existence in the Quseir CFC.

    This is the final report of a marine engineer who worked in the Sudan from December 1980 to January 1983. It describes the activities carried out relating to equipment supplied through the FAO Project and also in connection with privately owned boats and engines. A major achievement was the establishment of a fully equipped workshop at Mohamed Qol, with competent mechanics trained by the expert. Some considerations are given regarding the alternatives of using trucks or boats to transport fish a nd ice to remote villages such as Mohamed Qol. It is recommended that the problem of obtaining counterparts to work in such locations be overcome by providing better facilities and financial incentives; that closer supervision be given to the construction of fishing boats sponsored by the Fisheries Department; that attention be given to the problem of an adequate water supply in Mohamed Qol; and that additional workshops be established in Halaib and Trinkitat.

    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.
