Monument of PLTD Apung, Witness of the Aceh Aceh Tsunami

The devastation of the tsunami that hit the northern coast of Banda Aceh in December 2004 was still leaving a trail. Not only is it still in mind, the tsunami also left a trail of monuments. The monument is a warning to anyone against the enormity of the forces of nature.

One of them is the monument diesel power (Diesel Power Plant) Floating in Punge Village, Blancut, Banda Aceh. As the name implies, this ship is a source of electricity for the Ulee Lheue region - where the ship was tethered before the tsunami.

The ship with a length of 63 meters is capable of generating power of 10.5 megawatts. With an area reaching 1,900 square meters and weighing 2,600 tons, no one imagines this ship can move up to the middle of Banda Aceh City.
