Shipyard also did not consider about the technical and operational aspects as rule and regulations for wooden vessels. Un-optimal ship construction make it low in quality and at the end, it cannot be used directly after handover. In general, the cause of damage of ship was due to unsatisfying of construction criteria such as the types of wood, including the age and the length of the wood used for its construction.
