Jakarta, CNN Indonesia —
A ride called Ngopi in The Sky is the destination tour new in Nguluran Beach, Girikarto, Panggang, Regency Gunungkidul, Yogyakarta said to have not obtained a permit.
The head of the Yogyakarta Manpower and Transmigration Office, Aria Nugrahadi, admitted that his party had not yet received an application for a gondola operation permit from the manager of Teras Kaca.
Although, his party has inspected the location and found that the type of crane used is heavy equipment transporting goods, not people.
According to Aria, this is not in line with the Regulation of the Minister of Manpower (Permenaker) Number 8 of 2020 concerning Occupational Safety and Health (K3) Lifting and Transport Aircraft.
“So we will recommend it according to the Permenaker, because the tool is a lifting tool and a means of transporting goods, so we recommend it according to the regulations. The tool is used in factories, construction, but according to the Permenaker, it is used to transport goods,” said Aria when contacted.
The Manpower and Transmigration Office will still discuss the inspection results. Includes a heavy equipment operator certificate inspection plan. Aria said that his party will immediately write to the manager of Teras Kaca, the manager of the vehicle. He did not want to rush to talk about the suspension of the vehicle’s operations.
Considering the location of the crane in a tourist destination, in this case the tourism service business license, continued Aria, was entered into the domain of the Tourism Office of Gunungkidul Regency and the province. Including the use of cargo cranes to transport people.
“We see it in the context of a tool, if it’s a vehicle, please go to the tourism sector,” he concluded.
CNNIndonesia.com have contacted the Head of the DIY Tourism Office, Singgih Raharjo, but until this news is published, there is still no response.
Meanwhile, CEO of Teras Kaca, Nur Nasution, said that his party still prioritizes the safety of visitors regarding this new ride.
According to him, Coffee in The Sky is prepared with the best steel material. Between the gondola and the crane are connected by four pairs of steel wire slings, each point capable of carrying a load of 8 tons.
“One point is 8 tons, times 4 become 32 tons. That’s multiplied by two more, 64 tons. Now that’s the maximum weight lifting, but we only use our gondola 3 tons. There’s a lot left,” he said.
Routine checks, said Nur, are carried out for cranes. The type of fuel used is non-subsidized, namely Pertadex. Likewise with officers who all claim to be experts in their fields.
“We really take care because it relates to guest safety. If necessary, I will replace the (steel) sling every three months, even though the duration is yearly,” he said.
Each visitor is also required to wear a five-layer safety rope that cannot be tampered with other than by officers. Mounted on the chest, waist, arms, also groin.
The selection for visitors includes having to be over 15 years old and not have a history of internal disease.
The manager of the Glass Terrace admits that they are still taking care of the operation of this vehicle to the DIY Manpower and Transmigration Office (Disnakertrans) for the feasibility of the equipment. This includes communicating with the local district government.
Therefore, Nur also emphasized that this vehicle has not been officially operated. The operation since January 2, 2022 is still in a trial nature.
Visitors are limited to a maximum of 14 people and are still from the closest scope, even though there are tourists from outside the island and even foreign tourists who try this Coffee in The Sky.
The plan, his party will also make black and white for each visitor related to the safety agreement of this vehicle.
“It’s still a trial, we charge IDR 100,000 per passenger per 15 minutes, the introductory price. Yesterday some from Kalimantan, Sulawesi, Riau, even England, India, said it was like the one in Dubai,” he said.
