Reports have emerged that all of the crew members as well as onboard passengers- having a number of 26, had safely vacated the ship. There were no casualties, as per the official statement.
An Indonesian government spokesperson said, “All 26 people aboard were rescued by the KM Samudera Jaya Abadi, which happened to pass by the cargo ship’s location.”
Passengers, as well as crew members, were allegedly taken to Ketapang, West Kalimantan. It is expected that they will reach the destination on Thursday.
