CILACAP, Central Java (JP): PT Semen Nusantara Cilacap will
start commercial operations at its new cement plant here in
December to triple its production capacity to 4.1 million tons
per annum.

The company's general affair manager Tri Bowo R.H. said here
last week that his company will transport the raw materials for
the new plant from notorious Nusakambangan prison island, about
one kilometer south of here.

The company has laid a 900-meter electricity cable 25 meters
below sea level to Nusakambangan from the mainland to support its
operations on the island. The laying of the cable, carried out by
Cherrington Drilling Service of Australia, cost US$1.5 million.
