SEMARANG - Tidal floods have hit the Tanjung Emas Port area again, Semarang, Central Java, following the occurrence of the sea water market.

Director of Polairud Polda Central Java Kombes Haryadi said the height of the tidal flood varied from 40 to 80 cm.

Some time ago, tidal flooding also occurred in the local port area.

He explained that several points were hit by the rob, including the PT Lamicitra area, the passenger terminal area, the area in front of the container terminal, the archipelago dock, and around the Pos I port.

"The Lamicitra area has a height of about 80 cm, the area in front of the passenger terminal and container terminal is about 50 cm," he said as quoted by Antara, Monday, June 20.

Based on BMKG forecasts, there is a potential for high tides between 0.4 and 1.1 meters.

Efforts are being made, he continued, to coordinate with various stakeholders in the Semarang port area.

"The Ditpolaiud SAR team is alerted if at any time it is needed for humanitarian assistance," he said.

Additional pump machines, he continued, were also alerted to suck up water that inundated the main access points at Tanjung Emas Port.

Data collection is also carried out on the condition of the sea embankments in the port area, including emergency handling if needed.
