PLTD Apung 1
Kapal PLTD Apung
A 2,600-tonne power ship pushed nearly 3 km inland by the tsunami, now resting among homes as a tsunami memorial park.
PLTD Apung 1 is a 63-metre diesel power ship. During the tsunami, giant waves swept it from Ulee Lheue port into Punge village, where it came to rest on top of houses. The surrounding area has been developed into a memorial park, with a wall commemorating the victims, observation platforms and a small exhibition. Visitors can climb onto the deck for views over the city. Entry is free or by small donation. It lies about 3 km from the city centre. A becak (three-wheeled motorbike taxi) takes about 10 minutes, and the site can be combined with a visit to the Tsunami Museum.
