BANYUWANGI - A truck loaded with milk almost fell into the sea at Ketapang Port, Banyuwangi, East Java.

The back of the truck almost fell into the sea when it got out of the KM Prima Jaya 9 ferry. Meanwhile, the front of the truck driven by I Komang Sudiarta was already at the pier bridge.

The incident occurred because the axle of the ramp door of the ship that the truck was carrying was broken.

"This caused the rear wheel to slip, causing the rear wheel to come off and get stuck in the ship's ramp door," said AKP Ali Masduki, Head of the Tanjungwangi Port Sector Police, on Friday, June 25.

To evacuate the truck, officers first unload the contents. Officers used a crane to pull the truck from the ship.

As of 23.20 WIB, Thursday, June 24, the evacuation process for the contents of the truck was still ongoing, so the loading and unloading of ships at one of the Ketapang port docks in Banyuwangi could not be used.

"Because we are waiting for the truck evacuation process to finish," he said.

New trucks can be evacuated at around 11.00 WIB, Friday, June 25.

"The evacuation process was hampered due to heavy rain in the ASDP Ketapang Banyuwangi port area," he said.
