Surabaya – PT Dharma Senior Advisor Lautan Utama (DLU) Bambang Haryo Soekartono encourages the parties to continuously carry out safety campaigns on ferry transport in Indonesia.

This was stated by the member of the DPR-RI for the period 2014-2019 in response to the perception of poor navigation safety in Indonesia which has been singled out by the International Maritime Organization (IMO). According to him, the declaration is incorrect information, which must be rectified.

Surabaya ITS Naval Architecture and Shipbuilding alumnus asked IMO to come and inspect ferry transportation in Indonesia directly. He said that the government already knows very well the safety of people transported by transit transport,

“Of course the government should be very well aware that the safety adopted by the ferry or ferry transport is above the solas convention,” the owner of the BHS nickname said, Saturday (15/7) at the pier from Tanjung Perak Port to Surabaya.

For example in Europe and Japan, BHS continued, ships of this level with a length of 150 meters are operated by limited human means of only 10 people. But in Indonesia, the regulations require about 30-40 people, all certified, where the certificate is issued by the government, the education is educated by the government, and it is standardized by the government.

“We also refer to the ISM code (International Safety Management Code) these are the international safety rules. Many countries do not refer to it, such as Japan, Canada, Thailand and the Philippines using non-conventions. Meanwhile, Indonesia has adopted the Solas or Safety Of Life At Sea convention, BHS said.

So, BHS said, there were no words, the government was dubious, and then the public, with misinformation, finally had their doubts.

Shipping to Indonesia, BHS continued, the road is calm water (calm water). However, always refers to SOLAS. If in Japan they don’t use lifeboats, they don’t use lifeboats, in Indonesia they use lifeboats, etc. added BHS.

“It’s proof of the ratification of SOLAS, that the security in Indonesia is much better than in other countries, the government has rules and there are multiple classifications, standardizations and others. It even tends to exceed regulations So there is no need to worry about it anymore. It is better for us to campaign for the safety that has been adopted by Indonesia,” BHS concluded.
