YOGYAKARTA - Governor of the Special Region of Yogyakarta Sri Sultan Hamengku Buwono X asked the Tanjung Adikarto Port in Kulon Progo Regency to temporarily function as a place for fish treatment.

Sultan HB X, at the Kepatihan complex, Yogyakarta, said that the use was while waiting for a study related to the continuation of the construction of Tanjung Adikarto Port to be completed.

"The study has not been completed. Instead of stalled, I want to try to become a place for improvement," said Sultan as quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, July 13.

According to the Sultan, parts of the port pool that will function temporarily as a place for improvement still need dredging due to silting due to sedimentation.

"If it really needs to be dredged, it will be dredged first," said Sultan.

The Tanjung Adikarto Port Pond, he said, could be used as a place to clean fish such as milkfish or shrimp.

Sultan explained that the study or study related to the continuation of the Tanjung Adikarto Port construction has not yet been completed, because the port location is adjacent to Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA).

Through this study, it is hoped that the construction of Tanjung Adikarto Port which is predicted to be a fishing port will not have a negative impact on airport operations.

"With the airport and so on, it is a proper facility for ports, entering the airport," he said.

The Head of the Department of Marine Affairs and Fisheries (DKP) DIY Bayu Mukti Sasongka said the same thing.

Bayu admitted that the continuation of the port construction, which has been started since 2005, is still waiting for the results of the aerotropolis study as a supporting area for YIA Airport.

Regarding the plan to utilize the Tanjung Adikarto Port pool for the inauguration site, Bayu said that he had received directions from Sultan HB X to study it first.

"The HB Xultan asked to be studied first regarding technical and economic matters," said Bayu.
