“Regarding the number and type cannot be stated yet. "Because it is still in the process of being withdrawn from Punggur to be enumerated," he said.

It is known that Roro Telaga Punggur Port is also one of the main routes for goods traffic going in and out of Batam. At this location, BC Batam officers often intercept smuggled goods.

However, BC admitted that it was difficult to monitor goods leaving and entering the port. Because, this area does not have a buffer area. (*)
