Sea crossing from and to Nusa Penida until Friday (1st January) yesterday still cannot be served by Ferry Ship of Roro Nusa Jaya Abadi. As according to the schedule before, that ship will entering dock to Surabaya in the beginning of December 2009. This is due to the ship’ quite serious damage at its helm makes it need more time to repair.
According to the schedule, Roro ship will entering the dock for one month from 1 to 31 of December 2009. At the beginning of 2010 will be able to operate again. “That was right Roro still couldn’t sail like what we planned before. The damage of that ship is on its left helm,” confessed the head of Dermaga Nusa Penida Harbor Branch, Made Kastika, S.P., M.M., when confirmed on Friday.
According to him, the damage happened due to the Nusa Penida’s pier pool trivialization. The trivialization caused by the growth of coral reef make ship propellers as part of the helm wheel clashed. “Until when that repair will take time we still don’t know about that,” he said while asking for press considering the exact time of ship repair to the head of Klungkung Transportation, Information and Communication Department, Nengah Sukasta.
It is certainly, he said, Kadishubinfokom had sent letter legally related to the Roro ship withdrawal arrival. That letter is responded straightly through socialization to the people. “All the time, many people asking for when exactly Roro ship start to operate,” said Kastika.
To avoid any clash with the coral reef again, Kastika asserted that his party will try to realize dredging activities in 2010. According to Rencana Kerja Anggaran – Working Schedule Budget – at Transportation Department, the amount of budget is allocated for dredging about Rp 800 million. Whether the number that suggested was Rp 1.5 billion. The dredging actually scheduled when Roro ship entering the dock in Surabaya so it will not disturb the operational of Roro ship. “We couldn’t conduct the dredging since there is no budget in 2009. And about the activities toward dredging implementation system, we will coordinate it first with kadishubingokom and consultant,” he added.
Meanwhile, Kasihubinfokom Nengah Sukasta still cannot be confirmed considering that problem.
