Explotion of Plankton Population Pollutes Ancol www.forex.or.id, Kompas, 2004-05-15
Tankers releasing mercury and other waste are being blamed for the pollution of the sea creatures in Ancol. PT Pertamina, however, claims that its tanker, KM Gunung Kemala, was in the process of tank cleaning and sludge removal from April 27 to May 6. Therefore, they could not have been the cause of the tragedy. PT Gamter Jaya was hired to do the job of cleaning the tank. The waste from the tanks has been diminished according to the rules and procedure.
