The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries (KKP) confirmed that the concrete embankment in the Cilincing Sea, is not part of the Giant Sea Wall project but rather a reclamation project owned by PT Karya Citra Nusantara (KCN) for a public port.
"The context here is not the Giant Sea Wall sea wall, but the KCN sea wall," said Fajar Kurniawan, Director of Marine Spatial Planning Control at the Directorate General of Marine and Marine Spatial Management at the Ministry of Marine Affairs and Fisheries, in a clarification from the Central Government and PT Karya Citra Nusantara (KCN) regarding the concrete sea wall in the waters of Cilincing, Marunda and its impact on fishermen in North Jakarta, Friday.
The construction of a concrete embankment in the Cilincing area, North Jakarta, was widely discussed on social media because it was referred to as a sea wall.
The Ministry of Maritime Affairs and Fisheries has officially issued a permit for the approval of the suitability of marine space utilization activities (PKKPRL) for PT KCN with the allocation for the construction of a public port in Cilincing, North Jakarta in 2023.
Therefore, Fajar emphasized the importance of socializing PT KCN's activity plans to the surrounding community to avoid misunderstandings or rejection in the future.
