Hundreds of Jakarta seaport workers staged a protest on Sunday, demanding that authorities crack down on illegal levies in the port.


The workers held their demonstration in the complex of Jakarta International Container Terminal, North Jakarta.


Workers coordinator Ilhamsyah said the illegal levies had burdened drivers of container trucks.


"A driver can pay Rp 30,000 ((US$3.2) just for illegal levies in the terminal," he said.


He also demanded that facilities for drivers such as rest room and canteen be improved.
