"Pansus wants it to become international port. We should be thanked if we have an authority to do that," said Andri Yansyah, Head of Jakarta Dishub, at City Council Building, Tuesday (10/24).

Muara Angke Port Revitalization will Start in 2018

For early phase, his side will re-survey the Port Master Plan (RIP) which made in 2016. Because, due to Pansus recommendation, port space will be added from two into five hectares.

"RIP just mentions it as passenger's port only and it also has minimalist condition," he explained.

His side admitted, port condition is not representative anymore with residents and tourists needs in weekend. Although, port's condition is still good.

"Currently, public interest has been so hig h. Thus it is needed to be widened," he closed.
