Bambang mentioned that the reason for the volume of loading and unloading of goods in October 2019 was not clear, because it was not like the item was detailed from Pelindo Jayapura.

"There used to be a breakdown of goods from Pelindo Jayapura regarding the types of goods, now it does not specify, the unit is a container. In the container the contents are mixed, we do not understand, only mixed items," he said.

His side has confirmed to Pelindo Jayapura about it, but Pelindo said that the report was like that. Pelindo Jayapura itself, according to him, is not closed, but to get reports from shipping companies is rather difficult.
