        "content": "<p>A vessel fire calamity has once again struck the Nusantara Fishing\nPort (PPN) Jongor in Tegal City, Central Java, on Thursday (4\/6\/2026).\nFlames gutted the KM Usaha 3, owned by Iswantoro, a resident of Jalan\nBawal, Tegalsari Subdistrict, West Tegal District. The incident, which\noccurred at the largest fishing port in Tegal City, sparked panic among\nresidents and workers near the dockside area. Thick plumes of black\nsmoke were seen billowing high from the vessel\u2019s hull whilst it was\nmoored. To tame the blaze, over a dozen fire engines belonging to the\nTegal City Government were deployed to the scene. Additionally, a water\ncannon from the Tegal City Police was dispatched to accelerate the\nextinguishing process and localise the fire to prevent it from spreading\nto other ships moored closely together at the dock. The Chairman of the\nIndonesian Fishermen\u2019s Association (HNSI) for Tegal City, Eko Susanto,\nrevealed that he received an initial report of the disaster via a short\nmessage in a WhatsApp group at around 11:00 WIB. \u2018I received a report\nvia a WhatsApp group around 11:00 regarding the vessel fire. Fire\nofficers immediately moved swiftly to the scene to handle the\nsituation,\u2019 Eko stated. As this report was filed, HNSI was not yet able\nto ascertain the total material losses suffered by the vessel\u2019s owner as\na result of the incident. Separately, the Marine and Fisheries Resources\nSurveillance (PSDKP) unit for Tegal City provided an account of the\nchronology. PSDKP officer Vincen confirmed the burnt vessel was the KM\nUsaha 3. Vincen explained that the vessel had, in fact, just completed\nrepairs at the dock three days prior. At the time of the incident, the\nvessel was moored as preparations were being made before returning to\nsea. \u2018The provisional suspicion is that the fire was triggered by an\nelectrical short circuit. However, the exact cause is still pending\nfurther investigation by the police,\u2019 Vincen clarified. Joint officers\nwere continuing cooling operations at the scene to ensure no remaining\nhotspots were left inside the vessel\u2019s fish hold. Police lines have also\nbeen erected around the incident location to facilitate further\ninvestigation.<\/p>",
