It is a boat, often made of wood, with a large net that can be deployed to encircle a school of fish. These vessels are powered by engines and are used to catch various fish species, particularly tuna and small pelagics. The fishing operation involves using the net to create a purse that closes the bottom and entraps the fish before they are brought onboard for processing. Purse seiners in Sibolga are used to catch a variety of fish, including large pelagic species like tuna and skipjack, and smaller pelagic fish.
