Kotabaru, South Kalimantan (Antaranews) - Kotabaru Government is determined to increase dock or harbor in order to support the smooth transportation.
Head of Kotabaru Transportation Agency Sugian Noor here on Saturday said the plan to build dock or port is a priority for islands areas.
He said the number of existing docks in Kotabaru is still minimal compared to the total areas in the district covering around 110 islands.
"The minimal number of docks, making fishermen fret when they lean to unload their catch," said Sugian.
On that occasion, he did not mention the number of the existing pier. Some time ago, Kotabaru proposed to build a port to the Ministry of Transportation.
According to him, the pier plays an important role for increasing fisheries.
