According to Deki and Poli, two security guards working for AKFI, the ships stopped operating following a ban by Marine Affairs and Fisheries Minister Susi Pudjiastuti on cargo transshipment. In response, companies' integrated work system went haywire. The system includes the capture, cold storage, processing and transportation of fish.
