"Each ship is required to provide fire extinguishers and always be checked regularly and still obey the SOP when doing activities on the ship, especially when carrying out activities related to electricity or fire," said Director of Water and Air Police (Dirpolairud) of the Central Java Police Kombes Hariadi, in a written statement, Sunday, August 20.

His party also emphasized not to repair ships, let alone heat work such as welding, or maintenance of ship engines on ships that dock or dock. According to him, if you do this, it should be done in a separate location with other ships.
