The Kantor Kesyahbandaran dan Otoritas Pelabuhan (KSOP) Kelas I Palembang, South Sumatra, has issued an official advisory urging all ship captains to postpone departures during periods of thick fog. This directive is a precautionary measure intended to ensure maritime safety and prevent accidents in the region's waterways caused by limited visibility.
The appeal highlights the operational risks posed by environmental conditions to river and sea traffic. By advising vessels to delay travel until visibility improves, port authorities aim to mitigate the dangers associated with navigating through dense fog, which can obscure navigational markers and increase the risk of collisions.
