Leak Discovered in North Jakarta Seawall: DKI Jakarta Provincial Government Clarifies the Situation

Share:

The Provincial Government of DKI Jakarta has denied the existence of a leak in the giant seawall following a viral video claiming a leak in the massive seawall in Jakarta. This vast sea wall is part of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) project. Acting Head of the DKI Jakarta Water Resources Agency, Ika Agustin Ningrum, stated that the seawall shown in the viral video with a leak is the Nizam Zachman Beach Protection Seawall in North Jakarta, which the DKI Jakarta Provincial Government owns.

“The Jakarta Provincial Government constructed the Nizam Zachman Wall in 2014/2015,” stated Ika when contacted on Wednesday, the 4th of October, 2023.

Ika further mentioned that the Jakarta Provincial Government plans to undertake the necessary action to improve the condition of the Nizam Zachman Wall. The restoration efforts will involve key stakeholders such as PT Pelabuhan Indonesia and PT Perikanan Indonesia.

“The Jakarta Provincial Government, through the Water Resources Agency, is currently developing a plan to repair the Nizam Zachman Wall and is in continuous coordination with relevant stakeholders, namely PT Pelindo (Indonesia Port) and Perindo (Indonesia Fisheries),” Ika explained.

According to Ika, the breach in the wall has not impacted the activities of residents living near the coastline, as the damaged area is far from residential areas.

“At present, the breach does not affect the activities of residents, as it is far from residential areas,” she said.

Ika also clarified the jurisdictional division between the construction of the NCICD project’s sea wall and private sea walls. The Nizam Zachman Wall is part of the NCICD project’s Phase A coastal defence.

The NCICD project comprises both the giant sea wall and coastal defences. The Jakarta Provincial Government is focused on continuing to construct an 11-kilometre coastal defence project as part of the National Capital Integrated Coastal Development (NCICD) Phase A. In this endeavour, Jakarta collaborates with the Ministry of Public Works and Housing (KemenPUPR) to complete the project. Additionally, the Jakarta Provincial Government is working with private entities such as PT Pelindo to develop facilities for the community on reclaimed land, including parks and basketball courts.

“The seawall that is currently being constructed in stages for completion by both the Ministry of Public Works and Housing and the DKI Provincial Government,” Ika stated.
