Bekasi, Saco-Indonesia.com - Deputi Menko Perekonomian Bidang Koordinasi Perniagaan dan Kewirausahaan, Edy Putra Irawady mengatakan pemerintah sedang mempertimbangkan untuk mengembangkan Kepulauan Seribu sebagai Kawasan Ekonomi Khusus (KEK) Pariwisata.
"Ini ide dari empat tahun lalu, nanti ada pulau khusus untuk 'shopping', pulau untuk pelatihan dan pendidikan, pulau untuk tempat tinggal dan pulau untuk wisata sejarah," ujarnya di Jakarta, Selasa (28/1/2014).
Edy mengatakan pemikiran ini sedang dilakukan pematangan, termasuk pembicaraan terkait koordinasi antarinstansi, kewenangan administratif yang berada di kawasan kepulauan seribu serta keterlibatan tiga pemerintah provinsi sekaligus.
"Kalau semua sudah sepaham, nanti dibahas lagi di kantor Kemenko Perekonomian. Ini nanti menyangkut tiga provinsi, karena KEK biasa hanya satu provinsi. Pembahasan termasuk siapa badan pengelolanya dan harus dibagi zona," ujarnya.
Edy mengatakan pematangan ide ini dilakukan untuk mengantisipasi hambatan dari implementasi KEK Pariwisata Kepulauan Seribu, yaitu antara lain karena masing-masing pulau memiliki pengelola tersendiri dan koordinasi belum memadai antara otoritas berwenang di kawasan itu.
"Kalau ini bisa kita kembangkan, akan menjadi luar biasa. Selama ini Kemenparekraf membangun destinasi dan jasa, tapi koordinasi nanti di kita. Termasuk dalam penyediaan pelabuhan, resort, 'clearance' dan imigrasi serta fasilitas olaharaga air," paparnya.
Menurut Edy, kalau pengembangan KEK Pariwisata Kepulauan Seribu dapat berjalan efektif, maka para wisatawan mancanegara tidak lagi melakukan kegiatan belanja di Singapura maupun kawasan lain di Asia Tenggara.
KOMPAS.COM/TRI WAHYUNI Sisa reruntuhan Benteng Martello akibat gelombang tidal letusan Gunung Krakatau pada tahun 1883, merupakan salah satu situs sejarah di Pulau Bidadari, Kepulauan Seribu.
"Ini bisa menjadi destinasi internasional, karena potensinya sangat besar. Bahkan, menurut saya bisa menyaingi Dubai, yang selama ini hanya menang dalam hal promosi," ucap Edy.
Pemerintah berupaya untuk mendorong wisata bahari yang sangat potensial untuk dikembangkan, mengingat kondisi geografis Indonesia yang merupakan negara kepulauan dengan keanekaragaman hayati dan kekayaan budaya yang menarik.
Selain itu, kegiatan wisata bahari juga berpotensi untuk dapat mendistribusikan dan mengakselerasi pengembangan ekonomi pada masyarakat pesisir, pulau-pulau pesisir dan perairan pendalaman yang selama belum tereksplorasi.

Pengecatan badan kapal juga dapat dilakukan dengan kuas cat, roller maupun unit semprot cat sesuai dengan tingkat daerah kesulit
Pengecatan badan kapal juga dapat dilakukan dengan kuas cat, roller maupun unit semprot cat sesuai dengan tingkat daerah kesulitan pengecatan. Jenis cat yang digunakan adalah : cat dasar, cat AC ( anti corrosive/anti karat ) dan cat AF ( anti folling/anti binatang atau tumbuhan laut ). Pengecatan dilakukan setelah badan kapal selesai diblasting. Sebelum dicat, badan kapal harus benar-benar bersih dari debu atau sejenisnya. Karena apabila masih ada debu yang menempel kemudian dicat akan dapat menimbulkan kondensasi yang lama kelamaan akan menyebabkan munculnya blistering ( lubang-lubang kecil karena catnya terkelupas ). Badan kapal dibagi menjadi 3 bagian, yaitu bagian bottom ( bagian yang tercelup air), bottop, dan bagian top side. Urutan pengerjaan coating pada masing – masing bagian berbeda-beda.
Untuk bagian bottom urutannya, yaitu :
- Pembersihan binatang laut yang menempel pada badan kapal dengan cara di scrub.
- Setelah itu badan kapal dicuci menggunakan air tawar dengan tujuan untuk dapat mengurangi kadar garam.
- Kemudian dilakukan sand blasting. Sand blasting ini dibedakan telah menjadi 2 yaitu full blast dan sweep spot. Full blast semua pelat di blasting sampai cat pada pelat terkelupas, sedangkan sweep spot di blasting hanya pada bagian yang berkarat dan bagian yang tidak berkarat cukup di sweep saja. Untuk proses sweep spot lapisan AC (Anti Corrosion ) pada cat sebelumnya harus terkelupas agar cat primer bisa menempel pada pelat.
- Setelah dilakukan blasting langkah selanjutnya adalah pengecetan pada badan kapal dengan cat primer atau disebut lapisan AC ( Anti corrosion ) lapis pertama dengan ketebalan kurang lebih 150 mikron.
- Setelah itu dicat dengan menggunakan sealer atau disebut lapisan AC lapis ke dua dengan ketebalan kurang lebih 100 mikron.
- Kemudian di cat dengan AF ( Anti Foulling ) lapis pertama
- Langkah terakhir adalah pemberian AF ( Anti Foulling ) lapis kedua. Pemberian Anti folling ini bertujuan untuk mengurangi binatang laut yang menempel pada badan kapal.
Untuk pengecatan pada bagian boottop, langkah-langkahnya sama dengan pengecatan pada bagian bottom. Dalam pengecatan, daerah ini juga merupakan daerah yang kritis karena pada daerah ini kadang tercelup air ( saat muatan penuh ) dan kadang tidak tercelup air ( saat muatan kosong ), jadi pemberian AFnya tidak konvensional melainkan menggunakan self polishing. Sedangkan pada bagian top side langkah-langkahnya juga sama, namun pada daerah ini tidak perlu di cat AF karena pada bagian ini tidak tercelup air.
Hal – hal yang perlu diperhatikan dalam coating :
- Campuran cat.
Campuran cat menggunakan 2 komponen yaitu base (cat itu sendiri) dan pengeras, namun ada juga yang menggunakan satu komponen ( rubber )
- Interval antara langkah satu dengan langkah berikutnya antara 4 jam – 3 hari.
- Kelembaban.
Batas maksimal kelembaban kurang lebih 85%
- Dry – wet
- Suhu pelat
- Suhu udara
- Dew point ( selisih antara suhu pelat dengan suhu udara ) maksimal 3o C
- Tekanan ideal yang digunakan kurang lebih 7,5 kg/cm3
- Tebal pengecatan minimal 400 mikron (dengan alat ukur elcometer)
Late in April, after Native American actors walked off in disgust from the set of Adam Sandler’s latest film, a western sendup that its distributor, Netflix, has defended as being equally offensive to all, a glow of pride spread through several Native American communities.
Tantoo Cardinal, a Canadian indigenous actress who played Black Shawl in “Dances With Wolves,” recalled thinking to herself, “It’s come.” Larry Sellers, who starred as Cloud Dancing in the 1990s television show “Dr. Quinn, Medicine Woman,” thought, “It’s about time.” Jesse Wente, who is Ojibwe and directs film programming at the TIFF Bell Lightbox in Toronto, found himself encouraged and surprised. There are so few film roles for indigenous actors, he said, that walking off the set of a major production showed real mettle.
But what didn’t surprise Mr. Wente was the content of the script. According to the actors who walked off the set, the film, titled “The Ridiculous Six,” included a Native American woman who passes out and is revived after white men douse her with alcohol, and another woman squatting to urinate while lighting a peace pipe. “There’s enough history at this point to have set some expectations around these sort of Hollywood depictions,” Mr. Wente said.
The walkout prompted a rhetorical “What do you expect from an Adam Sandler film?,” and a Netflix spokesman said that in the movie, blacks, Mexicans and whites were lampooned as well. But Native American actors and critics said a broader issue was at stake. While mainstream portrayals of native peoples have, Mr. Wente said, become “incrementally better” over the decades, he and others say, they remain far from accurate and reflect a lack of opportunities for Native American performers. What’s more, as Native Americans hunger for representation on screen, critics say the absence of three-dimensional portrayals has very real off-screen consequences.
“Our people are still healing from historical trauma,” said Loren Anthony, one of the actors who walked out. “Our youth are still trying to figure out who they are, where they fit in this society. Kids are killing themselves. They’re not proud of who they are.” They also don’t, he added, see themselves on prime time television or the big screen. Netflix noted while about five people walked off the “The Ridiculous Six” set, 100 or so Native American actors and extras stayed.
But in interviews, nearly a dozen Native American actors and film industry experts said that Mr. Sandler’s humor perpetuated decades-old negative stereotypes. Mr. Anthony said such depictions helped feed the despondency many Native Americans feel, with deadly results: Native Americans have the highest suicide rate out of all the country’s ethnicities.
The on-screen problem is twofold, Mr. Anthony and others said: There’s a paucity of roles for Native Americans — according to the Screen Actors Guild in 2008 they accounted for 0.3 percent of all on-screen parts (those figures have yet to be updated), compared to about 2 percent of the general population — and Native American actors are often perceived in a narrow way.
In his Peabody Award-winning documentary “Reel Injun,” the Cree filmmaker Neil Diamond explored Hollywood depictions of Native Americans over the years, and found they fell into a few stereotypical categories: the Noble Savage, the Drunk Indian, the Mystic, the Indian Princess, the backward tribal people futilely fighting John Wayne and manifest destiny. While the 1990 film “Dances With Wolves” won praise for depicting Native Americans as fully fleshed out human beings, not all indigenous people embraced it. It was still told, critics said, from the colonialists’ point of view. In an interview, John Trudell, a Santee Sioux writer, actor (“Thunderheart”) and the former chairman of the American Indian Movement, described the film as “a story of two white people.”
“God bless ‘Dances with Wolves,’ ” Michael Horse, who played Deputy Hawk in “Twin Peaks,” said sarcastically. “Even ‘Avatar.’ Someone’s got to come save the tribal people.”
Dan Spilo, a partner at Industry Entertainment who represents Adam Beach, one of today’s most prominent Native American actors, said while typecasting dogs many minorities, it is especially intractable when it comes to Native Americans. Casting directors, he said, rarely cast them as police officers, doctors or lawyers. “There’s the belief that the Native American character should be on reservations or riding a horse,” he said.
“We don’t see ourselves,” Mr. Horse said. “We’re still an antiquated culture to them, and to the rest of the world.”
Ms. Cardinal said she was once turned down for the role of the wife of a child-abusing cop because the filmmakers felt that casting her would somehow be “too political.”
Another sore point is the long run of white actors playing American Indians, among them Burt Lancaster, Rock Hudson, Audrey Hepburn and, more recently, Johnny Depp, whose depiction of Tonto in the 2013 film “Lone Ranger,” was viewed as racist by detractors. There are, of course, exceptions. The former A&E series “Longmire,” which, as it happens, will now be on Netflix, was roundly praised for its depiction of life on a Northern Cheyenne reservation, with Lou Diamond Phillips, who is of Cherokee descent, playing a Northern Cheyenne man.
Others also point to the success of Mr. Beach, who played a Mohawk detective in “Law & Order: Special Victims Unit” and landed a starring role in the forthcoming D C Comics picture “Suicide Squad.” Mr. Beach said he had come across insulting scripts backed by people who don’t see anything wrong with them.
“I’d rather starve than do something that is offensive to my ancestral roots,” Mr. Beach said. “But I think there will always be attempts to drawn on the weakness of native people’s struggles. The savage Indian will always be the savage Indian. The white man will always be smarter and more cunning. The cavalry will always win.”
The solution, Mr. Wente, Mr. Trudell and others said, lies in getting more stories written by and starring Native Americans. But Mr. Wente noted that while independent indigenous film has blossomed in the last two decades, mainstream depictions have yet to catch up. “You have to stop expecting for Hollywood to correct it, because there seems to be no ability or desire to correct it,” Mr. Wente said.
There have been calls to boycott Netflix but, writing for Indian Country Today Media Network, which first broke news of the walk off, the filmmaker Brian Young noted that the distributor also offered a number of films by or about Native Americans.
The furor around “The Ridiculous Six” may drive more people to see it. Then one of the questions that Mr. Trudell, echoing others, had about the film will be answered: “Who the hell laughs at this stuff?”
