摘要

The Anambas Islands in Indonesia, consist of 238 islands. Anambas has significant potential for tourism, particularly in terms of its natural marine attractions. Currently, the transportation infrastructure accessible to Anambas remains highly limited. An alternative mode of transportation with potential for development is the seaplane/amphibious-plane mode. One of the necessary infrastructures to support this is a dedicated seaplane/amphibious-plane base. The potential locations for development as amphibious-plane bases are the waters surrounding the Letung Airport on Jemaja Island and the Matak Airport on Matak Island. A feasibility study of these locations has not been conducted previously; hence, this study was initiated. This investigation was conducted by analysing existing secondary data and performing numerical modelling of the hydrodynamic conditions of the waters. This study aimed to assess the bathymetry, wind, tides, waves, and currents in the vicinity of Letung and Matak airports, thereby determining their suitability as site for seaplanes or amphibious-plane bases. The findings of this study indicate that, generally, based on existing standards, the hydro-oceanographic conditions in the waters surrounding Letung and Matak airports are suitable for seaplanes or amphibious-plane bases, particulary during the eastern season. To increase the operational frequency of amphibious planes during the western season, the construction of wave-breaking infrastructure should be sonsidered. The outcomes of this study can provide valuable insights for enhancing accessibility to the Anambas Islands, ultimately contributing to economic activities and the well-being of local communities, particularly those involved in tourism.
