LCT Cahaya Jaya alongside at Ciwandan jetty, loading for Benete
Heavy equipment and spares loading scheduled over two days. Departure awaits a weather window in the Sunda Strait.
LCT Cahaya Jaya came alongside at Ciwandan jetty at 06:30 WIB this morning after completing the return leg from Benete. The vessel was immediately prepared for the next loading: one excavator, two containers of spares, and supporting material for the mine site in West Sumbawa.
Loading is scheduled over two days. Day one covers the heavy unit and lashing; day two the containers and a stability check. The stevedoring team works two shifts, with a toolbox meeting before every lift.
Departure awaits a weather window in the Sunda Strait. The BMKG forecast shows 1.5 to 2.5 metre waves through Thursday; the master will decide the unberthing time after tomorrow afternoon’s forecast update.
This voyage is the first of three departures scheduled for the Cilegon to Benete route in November.
