Oceanographic factors and water quality parameters have not yet been considered essential indicators for shipyard industry development. This research was conducted from December 2020 to December 2021 and aimed to identify the impact of oceanographic factors and water quality parameters on shipyard industry development in Kutaraja fishing port. The oceanographic data used included tide, wind, currents, wave, bathymetry, and sediment composition, which were collected from Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysical Agency over the last three years. Meanwhile, the water quality data recorded were pH, temperature, dissolved oxygen, and salinity. The currents moved from the northeast and northwest towards the coastal areas around the eastern part of Kutaraja fishing port, close to the breakwater. The currents in the eastern part moved faster than those in the western, which comprised mostly shallow waters. The highest and lowest tides occurred at noon and evening, with water heights of -0.3855 and -1.0485 meters, respectively. Fine sand dominated the sediment in the sampling area, with the pH value in the good category, ranging from 7.13 to 8.3. The highest pH value was measured in the waters adjacent to the land. The sea surface salinity in the research area was 32-34 PPT, which gradually increased towards the coastal area at temperatures and Dissolved oxygen of 27.5 to 30°C and 7.02 to 9 mg L-1 respectively. The result showed that oceanographic factors and water quality parameters are essential factors that need to be incorporated during shipyard development.
