Indonesian authorities announce rescue of 102 people after ferry sinking with 243 on board

SAPO Notícias13 September 2026 at 06:37

Indonesian authorities announced the rescue of 102 people after the sinking of a ferry making the crossing between the island of Java and the island of Borneo, in Indonesia. The boat was carrying 243 occupants at the time of the accident.

One person died during the incident, while 102 were rescued by rescue crews. The sinking occurred during adverse weather conditions, which are believed to have contributed to the accident.

Rescue operations are ongoing, with authorities working to locate the remaining passengers who are still missing. The ferry sank during the crossing between the two Indonesian islands.

Why this matters

The sinking directly affects passengers and families in the Southeast Asian region, particularly between Indonesia and Malaysia, where sea routes between Java and Borneo are frequently used. This incident follows a series of maritime accidents in Indonesia, an archipelago prone to nautical tragedies due to the vast network of islands and frequent violation of safety rules in transportation.
