Armada Mudik Bertumpu pada Kapal-kapal Tua

Posted by Lambang Insiwarifianto Monday, September 29, 2008 0 comments for Anyer
Ratusan penumpang kapal roll-on roll-off BSP II tergesa-gesa keluar kapal setelah kapal tersebut berhasil sandar di Pelabuhan Bakauheni, Lampung, Sabtu (27/9) malam. Mereka terlihat kelelahan karena hampir 3,5 jam terapung- apung di perairan dekat Pelabuhan Bakauheni.

Insiden itu terjadi saat lalu lintas kapal di Selat Sunda padat. Kapal roll-on roll-off (roro) BSP II yang mereka tumpangi gagal sandar di Pelabuhan Bakauheni lantaran kemudi kapal mengalami kerusakan. Padahal, kapal BSP II baru masuk lintasan setelah rusak dan diperbaiki selama Maret hingga September.

Seharusnya kapal roro yang diberangkatkan dari Pelabuhan Merak pukul 17.30 itu sandar di Dermaga IV Pelabuhan Bakauheni pukul 19.30. Namun, saat akan sandar 1 mil laut dari dermaga, kemudi kapal BSP II tak bisa diarahkan ke dermaga.

Evakuasi kapal tidak bisa dilakukan secara cepat karena terganggu angin kencang dan gelombang tinggi perairan Bakauheni. Kapal tersebut baru bisa sandar sekitar pukul 23.00 setelah ditarik kapal penarik atau tug boat.

Kapal milik PT Atosim Lampung Pelayaran itu mengangkut 864 penumpang dengan 670 kendaraan. Jumlah penumpang 23 persen lebih banyak daripada kapasitas angkut yang mencapai 684 penumpang.

Kejadian serupa terjadi tanggal 7 September lalu. Ratusan penumpang terapung-apung selama lebih kurang empat jam di Selat Sunda lantaran mesin kapal Mitra Nusantara yang mereka tumpangi mati di tengah laut. Kapal yang seharusnya menyeberang ke Bakauheni itu pun akhirnya ditarik kembali ke Pelabuhan Merak.

Lima hari kemudian kejadian itu terulang. Kali ini menimpa kapal roro Nusa Bahagia. Kapal itu gagal diberangkatkan dari Pelabuhan Merak karena mengalami kerusakan mesin. Ratusan penumpang yang sudah hampir dua jam berada di atas kapal pun dipindahkan karena kapal Nusa Bahagia tidak bisa dioperasikan.

Sering rusak

Kejadian semacam itu memang kerap terjadi beberapa tahun belakangan. Kapal mogok di tengah laut karena mati mesin.

Tahun lalu ada delapan kapal roro yang kerap mengalami mati mesin, yakni kapal roro Nusa Dharma, Nusa Mulia, Nusa Setia, Nusa Agung, Nusa Bahagia, BSP II, BSP I, dan BSP III. Pada tahun 2007, delapan kapal itu berusia antara 21 dan 34 tahun. Kapal-kapal itu tak pernah mampu melayani penyeberangan sesuai dengan target, yakni 72 trip per bulan.

Tahun ini tercatat ada sembilan kapal yang pernah mengalami kerusakan. Kerusakan terparah dialami kapal roro Nusa Bahagia milik PT Putera Master SP. Kapal yang memiliki kapasitas angkut 439 penumpang dengan 100 unit kendaraan itu nyaris tak pernah beroperasi pada semester pertama tahun 2008.

Dari Januari-Juni, kapal Nusa Bahagia hanya melayani 16 kali penyeberangan atau 3,7 persen dari target 432 trip perjalanan per semester. Setelah menjalani perawatan docking pada bulan Juli, Nusa Bahagia sempat melayani penyeberangan, tetapi gagal diberangkatkan. Mesin kapal sulit dihidupkan serta tak bisa bergerak mundur.

Untungnya kerusakan terjadi jauh sebelum masa mudik Lebaran. Dengan demikian, PT Angkutan Sungai, Danau, dan Penyeberangan (ASDP) bisa langsung melarang Nusa Bahagia turut serta dalam angkutan Lebaran.

Kapal lain yang sering rusak adalah kapal BSP II. Kapal ini hanya beroperasi selama dua bulan pertama tahun 2008, sedangkan sejak Maret hingga awal September kapal tidak dioperasikan. Bahkan, kemudi kapal rusak saat kapal ini baru beberapa kali melayani penyeberangan Merak-Bakauheni.

Hasil evaluasi PT ASDP Merak menunjukkan, BSP II hanya mampu melayani 52 trip perjalanan, sekitar 12 persen dari target pelayanan 432 trip per semester. Padahal, kapasitas angkut kapal roro ini tergolong besar, yakni 600 penumpang dengan 148 kendaraan.

Berikutnya, kapal Nusa Mulia yang tiga kali mengalami kerusakan. Kapal milik PT Putera Master itu libur beroperasi pada Maret, April, dan Mei. Kapal berkapasitas angkut 430 penumpang dan 71 kendaraan itu pun hanya bisa melayani 35,6 persen atau 154 trip dari target 432 trip per semester.

Kapal milik PT Putera Master lain yang juga kerap mengalami kerusakan adalah Nusa Setia. Selama periode Januari-Juni, kapal ini hanya bisa melayani 67 trip atau 15,5 persen dari jadwal yang ditetapkan.

Adapun lima kapal lain, yakni kapal BSP I, Jatra II, Nusa Dharma, Bahuga Pratama, dan Menggala masing-masing libur beroperasi selama satu bulan karena rusak. Dari lima kapal itu, hanya KMP Bahuga Pratama yang mampu melayani perjalanan sesuai dengan target 432 trip per semester.

Tak teratasi

Sebenarnya persoalan kapal rusak yang kerap mengganggu aktivitas penyeberangan sudah dibahas jauh sebelum musim mudik Lebaran tahun lalu. Saat itu Kantor Administrator Pelabuhan (Adpel) Banten memberikan surat permohonan agar enam kapal dikeluarkan dari lintasan Merak-Bakauheni karena sering rusak.

Kapal tersebut adalah Nusa Mulia, Nusa Setia, Nusa Agung, Nusa Bahagia, BSP II yang hanya melayani satu trip perjalanan, dan BSP I yang sama sekali tidak bisa melayani penyeberangan pada semester pertama tahun 2007.

Solusi lain yang ditawarkan Adpel Banten adalah menambah enam kapal baru sebagai pengganti kapal-kapal yang sering rusak. Akan tetapi, syaratnya, kapal pengganti berkapasitas angkut minimal 150 kendaraan.

Selain itu, Adpel Banten juga mengusulkan agar dermaga di Pelabuhan Merak ditambah. Alasannya, empat dermaga yang ada hanya bisa menampung maksimal 24 kapal per hari.

Namun, hingga saat ini solusi yang ditawarkan Adpel belum semuanya dipenuhi. Enam kapal yang diminta untuk dipindahkan dari lintasan Merak-Bakauheni masih dioperasikan. Begitu pula dengan usulan penambahan dermaga belum juga terealisasi.

Sementara itu, penambahan tiga kapal baru juga belum memaksimalkan pelayanan penyeberangan di Selat Sunda sebab hanya satu kapal yang memenuhi syarat kapasitas angkut 150 kendaraan, yakni KMP Mentari Nusantara. Adapun dua kapal lain, yakni KMP Windu Karsa Dwitya dan Musthika Kencana, masing-masing memiliki kapasitas angkut 85 kendaraan dan 60 kendaraan.

Meski kapal baru berhasil menambah jumlah kapal menjadi 30 unit, kenyataannya tidak semuanya bisa dioperasikan. Apalagi, kapal-kapal yang sehat masih dipaksa melayani penyeberangan melebihi target. Hal itu rawan mengalami kerusakan mesin, seperti kapal Mitra Nusantara. Begitulah repotnya bila harus menyeberang dengan kapal-kapal tua. (NTA/HLN/ACI)

Ditemukan Naskah Kuno Letusan Krakatau 1883

Posted by Lambang Insiwarifianto Saturday, September 27, 2008 0 comments for Anyer
Laporan wartawan Kompas Yurnaldi

JAKARTA, MINGGU-- Jauh sebelum peneliti asing menulis tentang meletusnya Gunung Krakatau (Krakatoa, Carcata) tanggal 26, 27, dan 28 Agustus 1883, seorang pribumi telah menuliskan kesaksiaan yang amat langka dan menarik, tiga bulan pascameletusnya Krakatau, melalui Syair Lampung Karam. Peneliti dan ahli filologi dari Leiden University, Belanda, Suryadi mengatakan hal itu kepada Kompas di Padang, Sumatera Barat, dan melalui surat elektroniknya dari Belanda, Minggu (31/8).

"Kajian-kajian ilmiah dan bibiliografi mengenai Krakatau hampir-hampir luput mencantumkan satu-satunya sumber pribumi tertulis, yang mencatat kesaksian mengenai letusan Krakatau di tahun 1883 itu. Dua tahun penelitian, saya menemukan satu-satunya kesaksian pribumi dalam bentuk tertulis, " katanya. Sebelum meletus tanggal 26, 27, dan 28 Agustus 1883, gunung Krakatau telah batuk-batuk sejak 20 Mei 1883. Letusan dahsyat Krakatau menimbulkan awan panas setinggi 70 km dan tsunami setinggi 40 meter dan menewaskan sekitar 36.000 orang.

Sebelum meletus tahun 1883, Gunung Krakatau telah pernah meletus sekitar tahun 1680/1. Letusan itu memunculkan tiga pulau yang saling berdekatan; Pulau Sertung, Pulau Rakata Kecil, dan Pulau Rakata. Suryadi menjelaskan, selama ini yang menjadi bacaan tentang letusan Gunung Krakatau adalah laporan penelitian lengkap GJ Symons dkk, The Eruption of Krakatoa and Subsequent Phenomena: Report of the Krakatoa Committee of the Royal Society (London, 1883).

Sedangkan sumber tertulis pribumi terbit di Singapura dalam bentuk cetak batu (litography) tahun 1883/1884. Kolofonnya mencatat 1301 H (November 1883-Oktober 1884). Edisi pertama ini berjudul Syair Negeri Lampung yang Dinaiki oleh Air dan Hujan Abu (42 halaman). " Tak lama kemudian muncul edisi kedua syair ini dengan judul Inilah Syair Lampung Dinaiki Air Laut (42 halaman). Edisi kedua ini juga diterbitkan di Singapura pada 2 Safar 1302 H (21 November 1884), " paparnya.

Edisi ketiga berjudul Syair Lampung dan Anyer dan Tanjung Karang Naik Air Laut (49 halaman), yang diterbitkan oleh Haji Said. Edisi ketiga ini juga diterbitkan di Singapura, bertarikh 27 Rabiulawal 1301 H (3 Januari 1886). Dalam beberapa iklan, edisi ketiga ini disebut Syair Negeri Anyer Tenggelam. " Edisi keempat syair ini, edisi terakhir sejauh yang saya ketahui, berjudul Inilah Syair Lampung Karam Adanya (36 halaman). Edisi keempat ini juga diterbitkan di Singapura, bertarikh 10 Safat 1306 H (16 Oktober 1888)," ungkap Suryadi, yang puluhan hasil penelitiannya telah dimuat di berbagai jurnal internasional.

Menurut Suryadi, khusus teks keempat edisi syair itu ditulis dalam bahasa Melayu dan memakai aksara ArabMelayu (Jawi). Dari perbandingan teks yang ia lakukan, terdapat variasi yang cukup signifikan antara masing-masing edisi. Ini mengindikasikan pengaruh kelisanan yang masih kuat dalam tradisi keberaksaraan yang mulai tumbuh di Nusantara pada paroh kedua abad ke-19. Suryadi yang berhasil mengidentifikasi tempat penyimpanan eksemplar seluruh edisi Syair Lampung Karam yang masih ada di dunia sampai saat ini menyebutkan, Syair Lampung Karam ditulis Muhammad Saleh.

Ia mengaku menulis syair itu di Kampung Bangkahulu (kemudian bernama Bencoolen Street) di Singapura. " Muhammad Saleh mengaku berada di Tanjung Karang ketika letusan Krakatau terjadi dan menyaksikan akibat bencana alam yang hebat itu dengan mata kepalanya sendiri. Sangat mungkin si penulis syair itu adalah seorang korban letusan Krakatau yang pergi mengungsi ke Singapura, dan membawa kenangan menakutkan tentang bencana alam yang mahadahsyat itu," katanya.

Bisa direvitalisasi

Suryadi berpendapat, Syair Lampung Karam dapat dikategorikan sebagai syair kewartawanan, karena lebih kuat menonjolkan nuansa jurnalistik. Dalam Syair Lampung Karam yang panjangnya 38 halaman dan 374 bait itu, Muhammad Saleh secara dramatis menggambarkan bencana hebat yang menyusul letusan Gunung Krakatau tahun 1883. Ia menceritakan kehancuran desa-desa dan kematian massal akibat letusan itu. Daerah-daerah seperti Bumi, Kitambang, Talang, Kupang, Lampasing, Umbulbatu, Benawang, Badak, Limau, Lutung, Gunung Basa, Gunung Sari, Minanga, Tanjung, Kampung Teba, Kampung Menengah, Kuala, Rajabasa, Tanjung Karang, juga Pulau Sebesi, Sebuku, dan Merak luluh lantak dilanda tsunami, lumpur, dan hujan abu dan batu.

Pengarang menceritakan, betapa dalam keadaan yang memilukan dan kacau balau itu orang masih mau saling tolong menolong satu sama lain. Namun, tak sedikit pula yang mengambil kesempatan untuk memperkaya diri sendiri dengan mengambil harta benda dan uang orang lain yang ditimpa musibah. Selain menelusuri edisi-edisi terbitan Syair Lampung Karam yang masih tersisa di dunia sampai sekarang, penelitian Suryadi juga menyajikan transliterasi (alih aksara) teks syair ini dalam aksara latin.

"Saya berharap Syair Lampung Karam dapat dibaca oleh pembaca masa kini yang tidak bisa lagi membaca aksara Arab-Melayu (Jawi). Lebih jauh, saya ingin juga membandingkan pandangan penulis pribumi (satu-satunya itu) dengan penulis asing (Belanda/Eropa) terhadap letusan Gunung Krakatau," jelas Suryadi.

Peneliti dan dosen Leiden University ini menambahkan, teks syair ini bisa direvitalisasi untuk berbagai kepentingan, misalnya di bidang akademik, budaya, dan pariwisata. Salah satunya adalah kemungkinan untuk mengemaskinikan teks Syair Lampung Karam itu dalam rangka agenda tahunan Festival Krakatau. Juga dapat direvitalisasi dan diperkenalkan untuk memperkaya dimensi kesejarahan dan penggalian khasanah budaya dan sastra daerah Lampung.
