PRESS RELEASE Anticipating Corona, IPC Tightens the Entry of All Ships Jakarta, March 7, 2020 - PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Persero) / IPC is increasingly tightening the entry of all cargo ships and passenger ships in order to anticipate the spread of the Corona virus through the port. However, IPC ensures that the operations and service of ships at all piers in the Port of Tanjung Priok continue to be conducive. "Regarding reports of a foreign ship captain (CMA CGM Virginia) suspected of being exposed to the Corona virus, the person concerned has been examined at Tanjung Priok Port Hospital. So far there is no evidence that the person has been exposed to the Corona virus, even his condition is good and normal,” said President Director of IPC, Arif Suhartono, in Jakarta, Saturday (3/7). The captain of the ship and the entire crew of the CMA CGM Virginia sailed back to leave the JICT dock on Friday night at 22:00 WIB, after bagging a Sailing Permit (SIB). Arif acknowledged that ship services at the JICT dock was stopped due to an inspection. But after the inspection, operations returned to normal. IPC involved the Port Health Office (KKP) officer in conducting initial inspection to all crew members, before the IPC guide guides the ship to dock at the port. "All cargo ships from overseas that will lean at IPC ports are examined more closely. Not only ships from China, but also ships from all countries, given the spread of the Corona virus has occurred in more than 60 countries," he said All foreign-flagged ship crews are prohibited from going down to the harbor when the ship is leaning. Crew changes can only be made after passing through an observation period overseen by the KKP officer. Ships to lean on are required to report online the last 10 ports visited, before heading to Tanjung Priok. PT Pelabuhan Indonesia II (Persero) Kantor Pusat Jl.
